Has anyone any advice on a solar battery powered generator?

[Ali27]

My stable yard has no electricity so I use a headtorch in Winter, battery electric fencing and then a small petrol generator to power my .37kw pump for borehole to fill ibc containers. My generator wouldn’t start yesterday so husband is going to try and fix it today but I’m not hopeful I’ve been looking at alternatives and thinking that as well as something to power the borehole, it would be nice to have lights and also boil a kettle!
I’ve seen several on Amazon but I like the look of the one on LitemyRide which is £900! Please has anyone got any experience of them? Thanks so much!

We have various off-grid applications - with solar you really do need to ensure you’ll have enough solar hours year round to charge that large battery to provide 370w for your water pump and @1000w for an electric kettle (gas is cheaper than electric powered kettles) + lights (led lights are low watt and good these days so that’s minimal power draw).

900 pounds for such a set up is expensive considering the price of those items separately, but you’re paying hundreds extra for the convenience of it being constructed into a portable set-up.

Depends on your budget and primarily sunshine hours. We have majority cloud here so don’t bother relying on solar, having tried it - to power anything of heavy watt usage like a pump/household goods. A 1000 watt array here helps with low wattage items.
You could find worse case scenario if you have lots of cloudy winter days, you’ll be taking that battery home to charge it and take it to the yard to use.
But it could better cope with using for just the water pump and LED lights, and getting a portable gas burner for kettle, rather than waste all that hard earned solar power on just heating water for a cuppa.

I can't remember what make it is, but we've got a power pack thing that we use to power the lights in winter, it can have a solar panel attached but I just take it home and charge it up when needed, it's worked really well as a solution for the last two years. I think it cost about £100 on a special offer and will run two floodlights from Wickes (work lights).

We use a little gas camping stove for the kettle!

Can you get a hose down to your borehole? We have a ryobi one pressure cleaner that we use to syphon water out of the stream to fill up the more remote water troughs. Might work?

And a storm kettle for emergency hot water, will work with straw, cardboard, twigs, dry leaves, etc.

Oh my days! My husband has just bought this battery powered generator and it’s brilliant! Runs the borehole pump perfectly and he’s going to connect lights up to it at some point!
