Comparing 2 solar electric camping / emergency power generators side by side. In testing I found the AC system to be very bulky, heavy and had a very short use before the battery went flat (about 3 hours when doing the same things as the DC system). The DC system would run 2 LED type lights for 24+ hours, charge a cell phone, etc. It was much smaller, lighter weight and the panel was 1/4th the size and weight. The drawback is the need to have 12v adapter (cigarette lighter) plugs for everything you want to run, but well worth the effort.
