Our verdict

The 6,000-cycle rating is the headline here, roughly double most rivals in this size class, so it should outlast years of regular use. 500W output is enough for small appliances and charging gear, not a kettle.

Good

  • 6,000-cycle longevity
  • Light at 5.7kg
  • Good solar input for its size

Watch out

  • 500W output is modest
  • Not expandable
