The Yeti 1250 Solar Generator Kit aims to be a self-contained solar power system for backup and emergency power. This kit has been labelled as the perfect “trade-up” for those who want to get rid of the conventional gas-powered generators.

The Yeti 1250 kit has even been called a “solar farm” and I have seen some of the sales material referring to it as a “generating beast”. It certainly talks the talk, but can it walk the walk when it comes to providing backup power when you really need it?
