Can't advertise where this is available beyond a direct company source. You will have to dig and locate other sources. $1700-3900 depending on your homework. Go online and research until you drop.

You mean this thing?

Lion Energy L-1500 Fuelless Solar Generator

It's just a battery. It puts out 1500 W for 15 minutes. It's not "fuel-less" by any stretch of the imagination. Go read about all the inputs it requires. Output is not much power, just 15 amps. Good to charge your cell phone or tablet, I guess. I have a pocketable Anker battery pack at 10 amp-hours that will do that, for $25.99:

Save your money. $1700-3900. will buy you some serious deep-cycle batteries, if you want them!

Why not buy something like this?

Amazon.com: DuroMax XP10000EH, 8000 Running Watts/10000 Starting Watts, Dual Fuel Powered Portable Generator: Patio, Lawn & Garden

Buy one of these to back up the backup or for portable power.

Yep!

That much money would be better spent on a good generator. "B-b-but they take FUEL!" some might gasp, in exasperation. Sure, everything needs some kind of fuel to produce power. Sunlight, wind and hydro are "free" fuels, but you need to spend $$$ on the hardware to capture that power.

Back to the OP's expensive marvel: it's a battery, but you make more money if you call it a "fuelless generator". Well I guess it doesn't use gasoline!
