Solar generators are currently very trendy. These are more or less large batteries that not only deliver electricity, but can also be charged by the sun. Aldi is currently selling such a device at a reasonable price. However, this solar generator is not suitable for everyone.

Aldi sells small solar generator for 119 euros

There are now many solar generators on the market. More and more people want security and want to be able to produce and store electricity in an emergency, even if the grid fails. Aldi currently has a relative small solar generator from Bresser for only 119 euros (look at Aldi). The capacity is 88.8 Wh and you can access 80 to a maximum of 120 watts for a short time. That’s enough to charge cell phones, tablets, notebooks and other gadgets, but not for kitchen appliances such as kettles or the like. So it’s more of a giant power bank.

A solar module is not included with this solar generator. You would have to search and find a suitable solar module with the connection. The Bresser device can otherwise be charged via a socket. You can do the energy via a Schuko socket and many USB ports. A lamp is also integrated so that you always have light and some energy available in an emergency.

Many alternatives on offer

Aldi’s offer is good, but you can only do so much with the relatively small battery. If you really want to protect yourself, you should directly buy a larger solar generator with solar panels that are matched to each other. You can find solutions from Jackery (view on Amazon) or Bluetti (view on Amazon) on Amazon. There are different sizes and sets that can cover your basic consumption for several days in an emergency if you use the sun to charge.
