Solar panels work when its not overcast. Need something else that is reliable every time. Or at least warranted.

• Gentrax
  • Dodgier construction than Full Boar.
  • But delivers.

    • The 2.2kW one is approx the same cost as Full Boar, so it doesn't make much sense to not get Bunnings no questions asked return policy service.
    • But they also have an 800W one that is really small for about 400. The question is whether the EcoFlow which charges at 1200W would keel it over. So for those two reasons, going with 2.2kW Full Boar from Bunnings.
