Questions about Goal Zero Solar Power Generator Yeti 1000X

Hi Good idea -> Unfortunately, the legislation in Switzerland is somewhat complex. In addition, we have 3-phase alternating current in Switzerland. In the USA and Canada, 1-phase grids are the norm. In short - in case of a power failure, take your fridge out of the kitchen and plug it in directly with a shuko adapter ;-) With this answer I hope to moderate the expectations of the manufacturer. But I would also be happy to receive such a kit :-)

As it is not entirely clear to me which ones you mean, I am unfortunately unable to give you any details. However, you are welcome to use the Galaxus Assistant to submit a personalised product request.

Unfortunately, our supplier could not give you an exact answer to your question. I therefore recommend that you contact the manufacturer directly. You can do this via this link. https://www.goalzero.com/contact/

The unit generates alternating current.

It is equipped with an EU plug. So for the Swiss plug you need an adapter

For a current order, the expected delivery time is approx. 1-3 days (without guarantee).

In terms of capacity, this device is not really suitable for this. A typical e-bike has a battery with 400 - 800 Wh. This Goal Zero Yeti 200X battery, on the other hand, only stores 187 Wh. This means that with a full Yeti 200X you can only charge your empty e-bike battery up to halfway (if at all). The Nomad 50 solar panel won't really help either, as you would have to leave it in the sun for around 5-10 hours to fully recharge the empty Yeti 200X. In other words: to get your e-bike battery fully charged, you need at best 10 hours, but perhaps 20 or more hours of sunshine. And thus standstill, because you have to set up the panels.

Due to different suppliers and delivery conditions, there may be price differences compared to other suppliers. We always endeavour to offer a price in line with the market. However, this is not possible for all products.

Yes, I also had trouble finding something suitable, then I found a cable with a coax plug like this, I cut it off with a piece of cable on it, stripped it and connected it to the charging cable with lustre terminals. I also wanted to be able to measure directly on the cable. This is unnecessary, because the display shows everything that mwn needs. Greetings W.Frey

Exactly the same applies 2000 watts max. 3500 watts. Here are the instructions for all data https://www.maurelma.ch/Produkte/EnergieBox/GoalZero/Lithium/user_guide_yeti_6000x.pdf

As far as I know, restrictions only apply to large quantities of flammable liquids in the car park. Exclusions in rental agreements regarding objects are sometimes null and void when it comes to objects such as the storage of winter tyres, which must be tolerated. There is no particular risk of authorised electric cars catching fire during normal use, whereas this happens more frequently to combustion vehicles. As soon as a potential risk became known in a series due to a battery problem, there were requests to park the car outside. If devices have the correct certification, they can also be stored and operated indoors, even a smartphone has the potential to set a house on fire if defective. So store and operate them anywhere, but get permission from the property management for the car park, because you are generally not allowed to store everything there. To minimise residual risks, we have installed wireless smoke detectors in our living room and basement. Our plug-in hybrid has been parked in the car park for 10 years without catching fire. We also have two fully electric cars in a block of flats.

I use 2x GoalZero solar panel Boulder 50 (50 W) and 1x GoalZero Nomad 50 (50 W) gives a total of 150 W with the Yeti 1000X Powerstation You can use up to 200 W for this model.

Unfortunately, we do not have any personal user experience with this product, but I would be happy to forward your question to the Community, perhaps a Community member will be able to help you 😊. Otherwise, I would recommend that you start a Community discussion about this so that more people become aware of it. You can start a discussion in the "Power Station" section at the following link: https://www.galaxus.ch/de/s4/community/producttype/power-station-3557?tagIds=423-425

At the 8mm connection it is 150W at the High Power 600W. But modules over 400W are super bulky. Is the use mobile or permanently installed planned? Basically, there are adapters for modules and for the Yeti in the box, which certainly helps are extension cables :) you can find the specs here: https://goalzero.com/de/products/goal-zero-yeti-1500x-portable-power-station

According to manufacturer: 300W

Ja, aber man braucht ein zusätzliches Kabel: Goal Zero Yeti Kabel

No. You can order these separately

Sorry, I don't know either, but ask goalzero.eu :-(

We currently have no information on when and if the Yeti Pro 4000 model will be available in our range.

Solar input does not work if mains adapter is also connected. If the state of charge is almost 100%, charging will also stop, try with a load to see if charging then takes place (connect a hoover), then the solar charging current should be slowly increased automatically.

I think so, my system has two 100W panels. The Yeti is a very good device because it has all the converters it needs integrated. I really enjoy it, plug it in and it runs. MfG Werner Frey

Multiple plugs should not be used on the Goalzero. Of course, this depends on the loads that are connected to the multi-plug connector.
