Going solar has usually meant a significant financial outlay and a time-consuming, complicated installation. No longer.
Now there’s the Solar Stik, a portable solar generator weighing around 100 pounds that installs in around 10 minutes.
It’s already been used by the military, classified as a Tactical Quiet Generator (TQG), given the name “TESS” (Tactical Electric Solar System) by the U.S. Army’s Rapid Equipping Force and the Testing & Evaluation Command (USATEC).
Use it to link other units together or add a wind turbine to expand your energy output.
The Solar Stik www.solarstik.com can be used for emergency power, for boats or campgrounds, even for humanitarian use, like bringing power to Galveston after Hurricane Ike.
Folding up into small packages for portability,this simple solar device produces 100 watts of power, capable of running most small appliances given enough sunlight. It comes with a variety of accessories, a 25-year guarantee, and costs $5,000.
