Key Differences
Capacity & Power: The Sidekick stores 23 Ah of juice and pushes out 300 watts — just right for phones, lights or a mini-fridge. The mid-size Patriot Power 1200 jumps up to a 1,030 Wh battery and delivers 1,200 watts nonstop (2,400 watt surge) — enough for a full-size fridge or power tools. The 2500X starts with 1,612 Wh and cranks 2,500 watts continuously, with 5,000 watt peaks for heavy-duty gear.
Portability: If you’re on the move, the Sidekick is a featherweight at just 8 lbs. The 1200 is still carry-friendly at 26 lbs — about a case of water. The 2500X weighs 65 lbs, so plan on two hands or a dolly.
Charging & Expansion: Every unit charges in the sun. The Sidekick comes with a free 40-watt folding panel; plug it in and you’re off, but there’s no add-on battery port. The 1200 can top up from the wall in about an hour, or 2–4 hours with its 100-watt panel, and you can chain more panels for faster solar fills. The 2500X uses DualForce tech to mix AC and solar for a full charge in roughly 90 minutes, lets you hook up four panels at once, and accepts up to four clip-on battery packs to boost storage to 6,988 Wh.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a solar generator work?
A solar generator collects sunlight via the included panel, converts it to electricity, and stores it in a rechargeable battery to power various devices on demand—including both direct USB and traditional household outlets.
Can I run major appliances?
Match the watts and you’re set: the Sidekick tops out at 300 W—great for phones or a mini-fridge. The Patriot Power 1200 cranks 1,200 W (2,400 W surge) so a kitchen fridge or microwave is fair game. The 2500X delivers 2,500 W nonstop and 5,000 W surge, enough for a washer, well pump or small RV A/C. Check the appliance label, stay under the generator’s running and surge limits, and you’ll keep the essentials humming.
