Here at Geneverse, we love taking the time to hear from our customers after they purchase one or multiple solar power products from us.

We had the opportunity to speak with Sean, a marketer/content creator who has been using our portable HomePower ONE unit while working on the fly. Read on to hear his story and how he's getting the most out of his solar generator.

Where are you located?

I currently live in Colorado but I work remotely and I like to keep it moving. I plan to take this with me on the road and also use it if the lights go out wherever I decide to call “home”.

Do you have solar panels installed on your home? If not, would you ever consider it? 

I don’t currently because I’m not a homeowner, although I have a few neighbors who have it and swear by it. I plan to do solar/battery storage when I purchase a home.

How many people are in your household? 

Just myself.

What do you do for a living/what industry do you work in? 

Marketing/communications.

Which Geneverse product(s) did you purchase? 

Geneverse Certified Renewed 1000-Watt HomePower ONE Solar Generator (battery and two solar panels).

Why did you decide to purchase a backup battery power station?

I’m interested in renewable energy but I’m also something of a survivalist. I believe in being ready just in case the things we take for granted go away. I like purchasing outdoor products as well, and this unit is durable enough to do it all.

What made you choose Geneverse?

So I’m not made of money but I also can’t afford to buy cheap. When I make a purchase like this, I’m looking for stellar quality. If I can find value pricing, I’ll pull the trigger. I got in touch with Geneverse and inquired about used products.

I figure most people who buy these things tend to put them away and barely use them. So I was comfortable buying Certified Renewed in this case. I was not disappointed. Not only was Geneverse running a sale, but the product that showed up to my door exceeded my expectations. 

Do you consider yourself to be a tech-savvy person? How was your experience setting up the products for their first use? 

I think I’m somewhere in between being tech-savvy and a luddite. However, I can pick up on most technology/gadgetry pretty quickly. This product was easy to set up and charge. It’s also easy to use. 

How many times have you used your products since their arrival? Has it only ever been during a blackout? 

No. Of course I plan to use it during outages, but I also charged the battery and ran it down to 20% just to make sure everything is up to scratch. Very happy with the way the battery and panels work.

Tell us about any unique ways you have or plan to use your Geneverse generator. Have you used it outside of your home or within your community, like while camping, for example? 

Definitely plan to use it for camping and on road trips. Any time I plan to be off-the-grid I will plan to use this. If you’re a remote worker, you can invest in Starlink, buy a Geneverse generator, and you’ll have internet access pretty much anywhere.

What devices and home appliances have you powered with your Geneverse products? 

I’ve charged my laptop and also directly powered my desktop computer with this. I’ve also let my brother-in-law use it to power his CPAP machine – it lasted all night, no problems.

Which is your favorite Geneverse product?

I can only speak on the HomePower ONE, but I do plan to buy a PRO Series in the near future and use the unit I have currently as a second option.

What is one thing you would tell anyone who hasn’t yet purchased a backup battery power station?

Buy this product now. Don’t wait until you need it.
