For true home emergencies, I wont be worried much about charging usb devices, computers, and t.v. My main concern would be running heat, air conditioning, deep freezers, refridgerators, stove and water heater. Important life equipment. Illumination needs can be sustained much cheaper.
Nice review man, I had one of these a while ago. I exchanged it for a non solar xantrex powersource 400, (40 ah battery). My problem was the solar panel not being weather proof, which didn't allow me to get maximum charging current (my window has uv protection) and the 10 ah battery was a little skimpy too. I still wanted to have a solar backup, so I built my own for about what the powerpack solar cost. 125 ah battery, 20 watt solar panel (got it for a really low price) 75 watt inverter.
