Absolutely! In fact, it is not possible to connect any of the cabling incorrectly. If you are preparing for a storm, roll the system out of the closet and open it up. If the system is already charged, just press the ON switch, flip on the AC OUT circuit breaker and you are in business, no sound, no fuel, no fumes, just power. To top off the battery before use, plug the heavy-duty extension cord provided with the unit, plug it into a standard wall outlet and the other end into the single round male receptacle on the system. The Green Charging LED will light as long as the battery is charging, going off when fully charged.

Our goal, it had to be rugged and easily transportable – portable power must get to where it’s needed, in one piece, and still work when it gets there. Our solar Case is designed by the industry leader in transporting and protecting valuable gear. The Solar MK-X200 is built on a grade A plastic shell. This Guaranteed for Life case is the best of the best. When you get to your cabin or tent, bring it inside – the Solar MK-X200 is designed to work indoors safely, with no fumes, no sound, just power. .

While designing the Solar MK-X200, we had to balance size, weight, and durability, against what we believe were minimum, acceptable performance levels. The Solar MK-X200 components are smaller, lighter, powerful, and highly efficient. We never use components that are unreliable or inefficient. The MK-X200 size is comparable to a large cooler full of food, drink, and ice, you can move easily without any issues. On hard surfaces, the telescoping handle and in-line wheels on the Solar box case move easily as well. It’s easy to load into your trunk, the rack on a 4-wheeler, boat, RV, etc.

We use the 2400wh LiFePO4 battery. It is the highest quality available with a safe track record, high power to weight ratio, over 2,000 charging cycles eliminating the need to replace it, and the ability to hold a charge while sitting idle in storage. Most batteries have “memory” issues, often limiting discharge to 80% of the total capacity while decreasing its full capacity during the life of the battery, ultimately leading to replacement. Our LiFePO4 battery does not have these requirements. These features make portable solar generator of this type possible. To keep your Solar MK-X200 battery in tip top shape, we recommend using your SS and recharging at least once every six months.

The Solar MK-X200 is designed to be used indoors. Only the solar panels need to be outside in the sun. Whether a tent, cabin, boat, RV, even apartments and condominiums, where gasoline generators are unwelcome. Since there is no sound, no fuel other than the sun, and no dangerous fumes, you can bring the Solar MK-X200 inside to where you need it, eliminating the lengthy cords required to move a gasoline generator to a safe and bearable distance. Many lead acid batteries that claim to be sealed, actually are not, releasing corrosive gases as they operate. The LiFePO4 battery used in the Solar MK-X200 is completely sealed. While there are dozens of Lithium-Ion battery chemistries, some with dubious safety records, Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries have a stellar safety record with more than ten years in the field.

The short answer is no, not at all. You can make it as simple or as sophisticated as you like. Again, the cabling is foolproof, only connecting the right way. No worries there. Like all solar panels, the solar panels are most effective when correctly aimed at direct sunlight. That’s where the similarity ends. Because the solar panels are made from the finest, highly efficient, SunPower solar cells, and have 10 times the output of the typical 100watt kit, setup can be less critical. Since our panels are light weight, flexible and durable, with grommets at each corner, using readily available attachments like paracord, bungee cords and tent stakes, you can quickly setup with limited hassle in a variety of environments. And also available is the normal aluminum frame solar panel.

We offer two solar panel models, both made with industry leading SunPower solar cells, and rated at 300-watts, 37V @ 5.7A each, with grommets. Our folding panel measures 36″x60″ folded in half for transport and weighs under 30lbs. Our flexible panel measures 36″x74″ and weighs under 8lbs. The flexible panel is very flexible but will not fold in half. Most of our customers prefer the portability of the folding panels. For semi-permanent use like for hunting camps or long stay RVs, where there is room to transport a larger panel, the flexible panel may be a better solution. The output and cost are the same, the decision is yours. Either way, we highly recommend three (2) panels for true sustainability.
