Why should I purchase a solar power station over a gas-powered generator?

There are many benefits to purchasing a solar generator. Solar generators can recharge your house batteries, allowing you to run AC appliances while on the road without needing to hook up to external power sources. 

Plus, solar panels can work all day long, whether you’re home or not, meaning you could be out for a hike and charging up your batteries in time for movie night at basecamp. This isn’t the case with gas-powered generators.
