All the solar generator marketing hype makes my head hurt. The Anker Solix C300 ($259.99) and 300 DC ($199.99) seem to have good specs, low cost, by a reliable company.
I have a gas/propane generator for power outages lasting a few days. Anything longer, and my plan B is to visit family outside the blackout area. :-)
This would be plan C. Something low cost to add to a storm emergency bag, for charging small electronics like portable radios, phones, laptops, etc...
Any feedback from users with Solar Generator experience?

About a year ago I purchased a folding solar panel rated for 100 watts. I've only used it with my power station once - for camping. While I will say that it was challenge to fully recharge the power station even on bright sunny days, it did substantially charge my Rockpals unit each day. And I could see how if it had it been necessary, a power station/portable solar panel combo can provide at least some level of sustained power more or less indefinitely.
In this day and age of increasingly intense storms as well as threats from flooding, wildfires, etc that make community evacuations a real possibility (if not a current reality) at least once in our lifetimes, I think a power station should be part of every family's household emergency kit. Right up there with a weatherband radio, flashlights, a few gallons of drinking water and at least 3 days of non-perishable food. Sized appropriately and used judiciously, a power station alone gives real capability, even in a multi-day situation. Paired with a solar panel, even the 60 watt unit this deal comes with, it can sustain modest power needs much longer than that.
