Simple Solar for the Everyday Adventurer: The Sherpa 50 Kit by Goal Zero [Review]
Whether you’re an avid backcountry explorer, a weekend camper, a professional wildlife photographer, or someone who just likes to get out and explore, the Sherpa 50 Kit by Goal Zero is a must have. Use the Sherpa 50 Solar Kit for charging your DSLR batteries, GoPros, your smartphone, tablet, or laptop computer (excluding some macs), GPS device, and other things you may have with you on your adventures. The kit includes the Sherpa 50 battery, Nomad 13 Solar Panel, and an inverter.

One of the great things about having this as a kit is that you can adapt the kit to virtually any excursion you go on. If you’re heading out to Moab for a weekend in the car, bring the entire kit. If you’re going backpacking in the backcountry for 6 days, you could probably get by with just the solar panel. The solar panel is equipped with ports so it can run independently of the Sherpa 50 battery.
We love the Sherpa 50 kit because while we use it on all of our adventures, we also use it in the camper when it is parked. It is way easier to just use the Sherpa 50 battery to charge up a phone or two rather than turning on the generator. Most recently, we took the kit on a canoe trip in the Boundary Waters. While most are extremely concerned with weight, we aren’t. We tend to over pack clothes, food, and gear. Bringing the entire kit wasn’t an issue because for someone who is not concerned with weight, it hardly adds anything to an already over-packed and heavy backpack. Overall, you’re looking at a weight of about 3 pounds (for the entire kit). If you wanted to just pack a solar panel, the weight would drop down to 1.6 pounds.
Another benefit of choosing Goal Zero for all of your portable power needs is that you can know absolutely nothing about solar, batteries, or inverters and you could get on their website and know exactly which kit or product would work perfectly for your needs. Talk to one of the experts at Goal Zero and you’ll feel like an expert yourself. They provide ample amounts of ...
