    The group buy is active starting 8.19.16 and will close on 9.20.16.

    The discount code and discount quantity will ONLY be available via PM, per Goal Zero's request.

    With the discount, most of the items are below Amazon pricing, which is good!

    If you want in, please, send me a PM!

    Does anyone know if the 150 or 400 will run a truck fridge?

    Check out the build
    I'm looking at the 400 too. I think that will be enough to run a fridge. It looks like has about 33Ah on 12V and my Optima group 27 Blue Tops have 66Ah's. You should be covered for at least a few days.

    Just a few expensive & DIY things...
    All depends on your true amount of available sunlight, true power consumption, rigid or soft panels yada yada yada. I could talk about this and geek out for hours on how much research one needs to put into Solar to really benefit.

    You wont run a 33Ah battery down for very long before it becomes an expensive useless brick, it's not a deep cycle battery. You will need to supplement some serious power in panels to make up for it, or plug it into your truck and drive around for a while...

    FYI, warranty is only 6 months....

    Was reading about this, I am also curious about the fridge option: YMMV

    http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/156616-Goal-Zero-Yetti-400-vs-ARB-50qt-fridge



    For those interested in how to calculate your needs:
    FYI the 400 is a PWM controller, so it's efficiency is about 80% iirc

    Can I just have you folks that live on the left coast or the desert keep a yeti on rotation for us east coast folks who live out here in the woods.
    :stirthepot:

    PS, @ramonortiz55 , just looked and the yeti 400 kit is out of stock.
    Did they give you a guarantee on stock or timing if parts are unavailable?
