DIY Life Tech Tests the Patriot Power Generator 1200
When the lights go out, will you be ready?
Tom from DIY Life Tech just shared a full review and demo of the Patriot Power 1200 Solar Generator — and it’s clear: this little powerhouse is a game-changer for staying safe and comfortable when the grid goes down.
Let’s dive into what they discovered and why the Patriot Power 1200 could be your new favorite tool for outages, camping trips, and everyday life.

Reliable Power When You Need It Most
Living in California, Tom knows the pain of frequent power outages. That’s why he was excited to try out the Patriot Power 1200. Unlike gas generators, this solar generator is safe to use indoors, quiet, and fume-free.
With 1,200 watts of power, it can run essentials like:
- A full-size refrigerator
- Lights to keep the house bright
- Coffee makers for morning comfort
- Phones, tablets, and laptops for staying connected
And thanks to its lithium battery and easy-to-read display, you always know how much power you have left.
Two Easy Ways to Keep It Charged
Charging up the Patriot Power 1200 is simple:
- Plug it into the wall — fully charges in about an hour
- Use the included solar panel — great for everyday use or emergencies
DIY Life Tech shows how he keeps his Patriot Power 1200 topped off every day with solar. It’s always ready — no rushing before a storm hits! You can even keep it by the couch to charge devices or take it camping, boating, or to outdoor events.
He even mentions that you can add more solar panels (up to 400 watts) for even faster charging.
Worried it’ll be too heavy? DIY Life Tech shows that it’s easy to carry with one hand. Whether you’re headed into the backyard or out to a campsite, it’s designed to move with you.
And unlike traditional generators, there’s no messy gas or oil — just clean, portable power you can trust.
Everyday Use Means Everyday Peace of Mind
One of the smartest tips from DIY Life Tech: Use your generator every day.
By keeping his devices powered with the Patriot Power 1200 and solar panel daily, he stays ready without even thinking about it. In an emergency, there’s no scramble — just simple, reliable power when it matters most.

"I just use it all the time like my own little private grid essentially, with the solar panel coming in ... Having that peace of mind that I've got that in the event of an outage is great."
