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?

Escape Drivable Kit HPP+ Connector
Hey folks…. I installed a GZ Yeti Pro 4000 in my van build — and used the Escape Drivable Kit to connect the 30A Anderson to the 12V circuit of the van, and the HPP+ to the rooftop solar.

Battery reliability for 3000X and tanks?
I am considering installing a home backup system using a 3000X with a couple of tanks and possibly solar panels. My question concerns the battery life of the 3000 x and the tanks.

Product idea(s)
Just bought my first two Light a Lifes and had this idea pop in my head: Light A Life, but with an integrated PIR (Passive Infrared) sensor, so that walking near the device triggers it "on" -- aka turns it into an inexpensive motion sensor + flood light. Perhaps it also has a "nightlight" setting where it starts out on a…

We have a whole home Generac system, but there are times we really don't want to run it at night, or even all day unless it's extremely hot or cold.

Next by the USB input port on the Sherpa i see the text: in/out 60 Watt. If I chain the panels the max output will be 70 watt( I…

Yeti 300 with Nomad 50
Hello! We're using a Nomad 50 to charge the new Yeti 300. In constant bright sun the best we're able to get is about 20 watts from the panel. That seems really low even with lower efficiency expectations. Let's assume the panel is not the problem - is there something we should be doing on the Yeti 300 to troubleshoot for a…

Goal Zero 100AC Issues
I'm leaving for a trip and trying to run my Starlink mini off the 100AC and Nomad 50 Solar Panel Setup. The Starlink Mini requires 100W/20V/5A per their website which the 100AC states it can provide using the 100w USBC port on output (per goal zero).
