I know most of the Solar generator builds test their rig with some type of high current draw heat lamp or space heater, but being in Arizona I didn't have access to a space heater. I do have access to some heavy equipment and while the generator was not able to start the table saw, it was more than capable of running the 1 hp drill press.
For a low voltage test I brought the solar generator up to Sedona for our most recent camping trip. No issues charging camera/drone gear, running lights, and powering the diesel tent heater. After 3 days and 2 nights of camping we were sitting at 85% charge, although I am curious to do some extended testing with the diesel heater to see how many nights this generator will be able to keep us warm and toasty.
