However, the prices (of everything) have recently gone up and with the way the world is now they will probably continue to rise so if you're planning to buy solar systems of any type to allow you to have off-grid power please don't leave it too late. The main positives of the Jackey Explorer Solar system are as follows: 1 - It works very well, everything is in one package 2 - Simple set up, takes a couple of minutes 3 - Multiple outlets in AC and DC 4 - Multiple ways to charge 5 - Carry bag is good quality 6 - Conversion of sunlight to stored power seems good 7 - Panels are relatively impact resistant when folded 8 - Panels from other manufacturers can be used 9 - Generator is compact and (relatively) light 10 - Whole system is easy to store Main negatives of the Jackery Explorer Solar system are as follows: 1 - Panels aren't waterproof (but may be showerproof?) 2 - Cost for the larger kits is quite high (but is competitive compared to what is available from alternative manufacturers and deals are sometimes available) The positives far outweigh the negatives and you can't really put a price on being able to generate a respectable amount of electrical power during a power grid failure. END NOTE: If (when) the "Russians / Chinese have hacked the internet" narrative gets rolled out by the media you will certainly be glad you bought an off grid solar system when other people have no power, haven't prepared and are in chaos.
