Inverter to connect 2 Boulder 200 to the grid
I have two Goal Zero Boulder 200 and a Yeti 1500X. Is there a way to connect the solar panels to the grid without the Yeti (to feed directly into the grid)? Are there inverters that are suitable for this? I can put the solar panels in the garden and would like to "save" the Yeti for emergencies, since through daily use the…

Venture 35 with Nomad 10
I have a new Venture 35 and Nomad 10 that I hope to take to the Grand Canyon in a few weeks. I initially charged the Venture 35 fully and then discharged it. Recharging it with the Nomad 10 has been unsuccessful. It has been in full sun for over 12 hours and the lights dont even register any charge. Am I missing something?

How many panels are too many for a Yeti 1500?
I have a Yeti 1500X with Nomad 100 and 50 solar panels. I am thinking of adding a Boulder 100 suitcase panel for faster charging but am concerned it might be too much. Problem is with the Nomads there are numerous days that I barely reach the minimum charge rate but I am afraid adding the Boulder 100 will put the system…

Combiner is missing cap
Hello, I just bought a second Boulder 200 solar panel. To connect it to my Yeti box, I also bought a 4X High Power Port Combiner. So far so good. But now I'm wondering what would happen in case of rain? Yes, the combiner has 4 ports, only 2 are used. I'm scared that the water would short circuit one of the two unused…

Can the Yeti 1500X / 3000X / 6000X be damaged by too much HPP charge?
In a perfect world I'd like to get the full 600W charging capacity out of solar panels. But in my experience I get 170W average (210W spikes) on 3 Boulder 100 panels on a clear summer day - and this was only possible after I replaced the GZ 30' 12AWG HPP cable with a 3rd party 10' 10AWG HPP cable. If I did the math based…

8x 100w solar panels to charge 6000x
Hello all, I'm trying to figure out how to connect 8 of my 100w solar panels. Each panel is wired with MC4 cables. I checked each panel individually and they all work. I can connect two panels and that will charge my 6000x. But when I attempted to connect more or all of them I have no charge. I'm using an MC4 - Anderson…

Chaining a new 50W Boulder panel to three 30W (older) Boulder Solar Panels
Tech support at Goal Zero recommends purchasing the 4X connector to chain these panels together. Does this make sense to the community? Previously I had 3 30W Boulders chained together in series. Is the 4X connector necessary? Can't I run the 3 Boulder 30W's together then the 50W then the connection to the battery? 4X 8MM…

Length of charge cable NOMAD 10
I have a NOMAD 10 solar panel which I intend to use in a long term project. (DSLR 1 year timelapse) I'm now considering what length&cable type to use. Will a shorter cable provide greater efficiency or will a 1meter cable perform the same as a 30cm one?

Do GoalZero solar panels have any EMP vulnerabilities by themselves?
I have Boulder 200 briefcase panels but I suspect my question applies to all the panels you sell. Do the solar panels have any discrete circuitry that could be damaged by an EMP event? Or are the junction boxes on the back of the panels just that -- junctions without any logic cards or other items sensitive to EMPs? Mainly…

Boulder 100bc not sending a charge.
I’ve got a relatively new Boulder 100 that I keep connected to my yeti 1500 regularly. It has been sending ample signal for about six months now. All of a sudden it’s not sending any charge to the battery. The input light will surge to 10 or 15 and then go back to zero for a while. It doesn’t work on either of the input…

Best Powerbank for Nomad 7?
I have an older Nomad 7. I am looking for suggestions for a replacement for my non functioning Guide 10. I tried my other powerbank bank on the USB output from the Nomad 7 in direct light I was charging at less than 2W. I can get 18W charging to this bank with a reasonable USB charger. If a bank could utilize the Mini…

Boulder 30W cable problem
I have had three 30W Boulder solar panels chained together on a small shed to charge Yeti batteries. Energy production has declined and I found a mouse "nest" tucked inside one of the panels (on the back side of it) and a mouse has chewed through the cable that comes with the 30W Boulder solar panel. Goal Zero support…

How do I properly chain/link (unsure of right word) solar panels?
Good afternoon, I had a weird experience and I want some advance on how to not repeat it. This was the experience: I was charging a yeti 400 with chaining a 100 watt boulder panel through a 50 watt boulder panel. I had put out the panels in the morning and was checking it about every couple hours. At 11:05 am, 115 watts…
