Say goodbye to noisy generators These will be amazing! Plus they are made in basically my hometown of Sioux Falls, SD.

From the creators (Peppermint Energy):
The Forty2 is an all-in-one unit that combines all the elements of a grid into one small package. It combines power generation (solar), power storage (Lithium Ion batteries), power inversion (power cord ready), and efficiency monitory (brains) in one mobile unit. Truly a Utility In A Box.
Unlike other things you may have seen come to market, this isn't a kit. Or a dressed-up battery with a solar trickle charger attachment. This is true solar power that incorporates storage for when the sun isn't shining.
It is powerful enough to run small appliances, light up a small army of LED lights, charge several laptops or a couple dozen cell phones, or power a pretty big TV. We don't have enough space here to list all the ways it can be used - rather, the question is "How do you think you would use it?"
Forty2 Tech Specs:
Solar: ~180-200 watts
Battery: 350 watt hours Lithium Ion
Brains: Let's just say they are 'advanced'
AC Outlets: 3 of them built in to the unit
Kits: None. This is an all-in-one product.
Things it can run: Dorm fridge, HDTV, fans, a lot of LED lights, laptops, many phones, stereo, etc.
Where to use it: In the US, you can use it for tailgating, camping, as back-up power, or anything else where you don't have access to a plug-in. Internationally, as you can see in the video, it becomes a life-changing device. It is simply amazing to think what this can do for people.
Made: in the USA
