Stupidly spent $400 on a portable solar generator for my camp in the Whites
Bought a Jackery 500 last summer thinking I'd run my CPAP and charge my phone for a week at a time. First night out it died after 6 hours because the panels need direct sun all day, which you don't get under the trees. Now I'm stuck with a $400 paperweight that can't even keep my cooler fan going. Did I just pick the wrong brand or is off-grid power a scam for most of us?

Wait, what's the specific lesson you're talking about here? Was it about trusting someone online or something else?
