![portable solar generator stress test (with thermal camera)
Watch as I stress test my newly reengineered battery bomb portable solar generator using an 832 watt load. I go over the design of this solar generator in detail (feel free to skip) and then use a 640x480 thermal camera to analyze heat in the system under load.

UPDATE: I spoke to Boz with Genasun tech support today (April 4th 2016) regarding whether or not the GV-Boost has a buck feature in addition to the boost feature. He said it does, but the sticker label on the back is misleading. The sticker label says the controller will accept an input of 5V-63V, but since this is a custom voltage setpoint of 20V, the real upper limit is more like 34-36V. He said he is 99% sure that using two 12V solar panels in series would be fine, but it would also be pushing the limit. If you KNOW youre always going to be using this with two 12V panels, consider getting the (cheaper) buck style lithium charger controller from Genasun instead.
Dont use two 100W 12V panels in parallel with the GV-Boost. Youll exceed the 8A rating. Just dont do it.
I also asked about using the GV-Boost as a 12V power adapter (think, car cigarette lighter instead of a solar panel). The genasun FAQ states:
Genasun solar charge controllers, can charge from a DC source PROVIDED that the input voltage is within spec and the input power is limited such that the rated output current (input current for the GVB series) of the Genasun controller is not exceeded.
Boz with Genasun tech support said the quote above is old information. He said the programming has been updated since then. He told me a 12V lead acid battery (rather than a solar panel) would probably work, but its not something they test on a regular basis ( MPPT doesnt work if your solar panel is a 12V car battery, so its a really weird use case ), so do so at your own risk.
The safest solution for 12V power is to use a high quality pure sine wave inverter. My Go Power 300W pure sine wave inverter ( [affiliate] http://amzn.to/1Q1MNNs ), while bulky, only draws about 3 watts in addition to whatever my mac wall wart is drawing. The efficiency of the genuine mac 85W wall wart appears to be similar to the efficiency of GV-Boost, in my testing. Its bulky and heavy and awkward, but using a high quality pure sine inverter with your existing mac wall wart is probably the safest and cheapest solution for 12V power. It does use a little more power ( 3W ), but the advantage is that you can use your genuine mac wall wart. DIY Solar Macbook Pro Retina Charger](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/KtDL78bewxM/mqdefault.jpg)
