I am always hesitant to buy things at places. I have never shopped, but I thank God that I ran into this store. I want to give a shout out to Manny who with great patience and knowledge helped me get my orders. They are very knowledgeable about their equipment that they sell. They are very compassionate for their customers. I felt valued as a customer and I will definitely be back in the future. I highly recommend them, they make you feel like family.
Still seeking someone to wire it.
Not completely wired up at this time waiting for my breakers to come
Over the last 12 years I have installed 5 different solar setups in 3 different vehicles. The Bravo 50A so far seems to be the complete ticket. The Bravo 50 is connected to a 100ah LiFePo battery with internal heating ability, 160W solar panel, and hooked up to the vehicle battery as well.
There are several reasons why I prefer this one over others. Cost- I got this for about the same as, or a lot less than other combo dc-dc/mppt setups. Connections-the Bravo 50A connections are designed to handle fatter gauge wires than other boxes out there.
Juice capacity- the 50A is plenty for my needs.
Display and Bluetooth- the display has a lot of information available(I put a copy of the instruction manual page with the key to display data on the battery box for reference) and the SRNE app connects really with my phone for remote viewing, and has a nice pictorial image of what's happening with solar, alternator, etc charging.
Two way vehicle battery charging- many systems have a dc-dc charger that is one way, ie vehicle alternator to auxiliary battery, but few have excess solar juice to vehicle battery. The 50A does both, and during a 4 night parked set up, the excess solar did indeed go to the vehicle battery.
It was pretty easy to swap out the former mppt and put in the Bravo 50A. I set the Bravo for Li battery and so far just using the internal factory settings.
I've only had it installed for about 3 weeks, but we did test it on a camping trip where we parked for 4 nights with temperatures down to freezing(low of 28F, highs in the low 60s). We were running some LED's at night, charging phones, a WEboost cell signal booster, and running a 60l ARB fridge.
So far I'm liking it, and about to swap out the old system in another vehicle for this same setup, with a few differences. The other vehicle has 2x100W solar panels and I'm going to try and add 2 LiFePo 100ah batteries to see how all that works. We have an extended 2 month road trip coming up this winter for a better test before we head out for another session of field work next spring.
If it fails I'll be back here whining, otherwise, consider it a decent system.

I have been talking with Manny the owner about our house in Mexico. He has not only helped me design a system but hes been assisting w the install and components. I am super pleased so far w the assistance.
so Im about to go off grid I called Manny walked me through everything so I could truly understand what i needed and never tried to upsell me he was honest and made a customer for life
It works great
Just what I needed for extra storage
Amazing device!
Living in the mountains of New Hampshire, I have regular power outages from thunderstorms and icing. Most of them are of short duration so I didn't want an expensive gas-powered generator. I recently purchased the Jackery Explorer 1500 portable power station and it really fills the bill. No more worries about spoiled frozen food and melted ice cream in the refrigerator, cooking a dinner in the microwave, or just having lights. John
I had never heard of this company before, but took a shot and had a very pleasant experience. Fast shipping, all good!
Hi, hesitated to pull the trigger on this unit for sometime but found the best price at off grid source. Got quick and ready. Answers to my questions in ordered it as a result. Haven’t got the transfer switch wired up yet since I’m waiting for electrician, but have run and tested the base 3800 unit in a performs, just as promised, thanks
I ordered this setup from Off-Grid Source and Manny promptly processed my order and I received both items within 5 business days. I was so eager to get the items that I called Manny a couple of times before I got the tracking numbers, but Manny picked up the phone (even late in the evening during off hours) and assured me that I'll be informed of the tracking numbers as soon as they were available, and I sure did get them as promised. As for the buying process, it couldn't be smoother. I called Manny up and asked for a price match, which he happily obliged, and on top of that, I didn't have to pay taxes. This is my second transaction with Off-Grid Source and I've been telling my friends and relatives about this store because I'm very satisfied with them, on both the pricing and the service. It's rare nowadays to see a business whom you can call and get a hold of somebody live right away on the other line for any question you might have.
Although it's the correct bag for my model, this medium bag is too big for my 1000 watt Jackery. Plus, it doesn't have a zippered pouch for the charging cable like the small bag does. It's definitely not worth $60.
Great little bag. Fits my 500 watt Jackery perfectly. It even has a zipper pouch inside for the charging cord. I wish it unzipped from the front though so the battery can stay covered while in use.
The sales person (Manny) was extremely to reach, I was able to get a hold of him twice even after hours on the weekend. He was able to price match the item for me from a competitor, and with no sales tax to boost. The item was not listed on their sales roster, but they were still able to order it directly from the manufacturer, create a custom invoice, and had it drop shipped to me in 3 days. Next time I need something solar/battery related, for sure I will check with them for the best price first. Very courteous and friendly sales staff.
These are well made and solid. I'm using them for 2p2s parralell connections in two totally separate systems. The connections are solid and have had no issues at all, they are exposed to the elements in my systems and are handling it beautifully. The length of these connectors is just right, with flexible cables on both sides of the y to enable working in a variety of spaces.
Very happy with these! And off grid source. Shipping was pretty quick and they were well protected in bubble wrap packing.
Bought a Jackery solar panel connector from Off-Grid Source. UPS lost the first package, so I called. Manny was great and sent another one free of charge. Then the first one showed up, and they let me keep both! Great communication the whole time.
I recently got a DC extension cable from Off-Grid Source, and it was a wonderful experience. At my age, I’m not very tech-savvy, so being able to order over the phone was a big help. The staff were extremely friendly and patient with me. The cable is of great quality and works perfectly with my setup. The shipping was quick, and everything arrived in good condition. This store is a good find, and I will definitely be buying from them again. Highly recommend!
Great product. Excellent Communication. A+
Price was good. Order processed quickly. Great item. Everything was perfect
