Features

  • FOR OUTDOORS AND OFF-GRID: This original solar kettle was designed specifically for those off-grid in need of clean safe drinking water, hot coffee, tea or soup. It can be used to rehydrate MRE's, cook meals such as hot cereal, eggs, noodles, rice, potatoes or any other that can fit inside the tube. When finished cooking, just keep the cap closed to maintain content warm and ready to drink or eat for hours after the sun is out. No monitoring is required.
  • LIGHT, COMPACT, PORTABLE AND DURABLE: Measures 18.5 x 4, weighs 2.5 lb. with a capacity to hold 3 cups (500 ml), it is made of strong, durable and shock resistant materials with no moving parts. It has been tested to withstand hail up to 25 mm in diameter. The solar kettle is protected against manufacturing defects for 24 months.
  • STURDY WITH TEMPERATURE GAUGE: Depending on the season and intensity of the sun and altitude, the kettle will warm up content as quickly as 15-20 minutes and reach boiling point of 200 F (93.4 C) in less than 1 hour. It is designed to work in all seasons as long as the sun is up. It will also function in cloudy days or with the snow around, capturing ultraviolet light and holding its heat.
  • HOW IT WORKS: Designed like a thermos consisted of two glass tubes made from borosilicate glass, through folded out reflectors specifically designed to maximize capturing the energy of the sun, the outer tube allows light rays to pass through the minimum reflection, while the inner tube will absorb heat energy warming up the water/content inside. The reflectors will gather three times more energy of the sun than with only a plain tube. The kettle is cold to touch on the outside, but warm on the inside.
  • ADVANTAGES: You will heat water at zero cost! No electricity required! No more reliance on a gas, propane or charcoal stove. You will use this anywhere there is sunlight. Whether camping in a tent, motorhome, mountaineering, hunting, fishing, kayaking or on maneuvers with the army - our solar kettle is a reliable source of easily made safe hot beverages and food.

Description

Perfect for all who enjoy gadgets and the great outdoors. Designed to tap into the power of the sun, and provide luxuries like hot beverages and snacks in remote places where conventional kettles, gas and electricity are not readily available or not safe (can also be used as a redundancy to your current set up) . How many times have you needed a bowl of hot water to do the washing up after camping? Craved a hot brew on a cold days fishing? Wanted to cook your pot noodle at a music festival? Or (hopefully not) been in a survival situation where snow's needed to be melted in order to get drinking water! Although the last example is somewhat extreme, it highlights the Solar Kettle's brilliant versatility in solving these problems. The solar kettle, due to the lightweight materials used, is very portable and will strap to the side of your pack via molle straps or other attachement systems. In use, its reflectors are folded out to gather three times more energy than with only a plain tube. During transit, the reflectors are folded in and protect the tube, and it looks and feels just like a large thermos flask. The solar kettle gives you hot/boiling water on tap wherever there is sunshine. Whether camping in a tent, motor-home, caravanning or on manoeuvres with the army; the solar kettle means no more reliance on gas stoves and no more heavy and expensive gas canisters. No dangerous flames. Just an unlimited source of free energy!

  • Fabulous. Delicate like your cell phone or SLR.
Color: Black
Fabulous products. Extremely ethical. Handle with extreme care and you'll be delighted. The vacuum bottle is a necessary part and it is very vulnerable to shocks. And the plastic housing is a bit delicate. So what? Fabulous product.

  • More durable than it looks!
Color: Black
So I excitedly unpackaged the kettle, rinsed it, filled it and took it outside. I opened it as instructed and set it on a low table, then accidentally knocked it over. It landed full on the lid on my lawn and the two sides/reflectors closed around the tube. No damage done. Then I took it out farther away from concrete and set it up again. as I walked away my cat decided to check it out and proceeded to knock if off the low table a second time; no damage. After about 90 minutes I had boiling water and a nice pot of solar powered tea. Two things I would improve - the reflectors are thin aluminum glued in spots to the sides and I can see where the glue has deformed the reflector - I would use self adhesive or uniform adhesive on the reflectors. The magnets that hold the sides shut are strong and with weak fingers it is hard to open - I would provide a little more surface for opening, maybe offset the plastic tabs to allow easier finger access. Totally satisfied as it is - will use it daily for my tea and maybe more. ... show more

  • Works, but could use some improvement.
Color: Black
Takes longer than they say, but does tocome to a boil. Needs a adjustable stand to tilt to get the most from the sun.

  • Arrived broken and inoperable
Color: Black
When I took the solar kettle out of the box, one of the end gaskets had come loose, and could not be put back in place. The mirrors became detached when I opened them, making the kettle inoperable. I'm hoping the replacement will arrive intact the next time.

  • SOLAR and water boils!
Color: Black
EXCELLENT solar water heating, provided you give it the sun and time to do it. I have a few of them. But do not treat the metal wire stand as a handle to carry it. Perfect for camping or just around the house when you want to be off the grid or your power goes out while its sunny. lol.

  • Good customer service, but the product is a bit rickety
Color: Black
The first one came broken and they replaced it immediately Very good service. The product itself however, is not well made. It has a plastic base and hinges and they do not fit tightly, a gap by the hinges meaning extra care is needed to prevent the bottom from detaching. Can't tape it on with high temp tape because the hinges need to move. If detaches it 's not going to work properly. The broken one came with the bottom detached and a loose gasket from somewhere and I could not get it on, and with the glass point, it's restrictive on how hard to try to prevent breaking the glass. There are a couple of fold out legs underneath but no explanation in the instructions. I do expect it to work, but it needs careful management. ... show more

  • Solar kettle
Color: Black
This product does exactly what it’s supposed to do. It heats water for my tea at camping. We are happy to get a few more for emergency usage. I rate 5/5 and highly recommend it.

  • Silicone gasket detached after first use
Color: Black
After the first use that took 2hrs to bring water to 200F, the lousy glue they used to attach the top silicone gasket to glass detached with the 2 doors falling out. You can re-assemble it but i have not used a glue to attach back to glass. Poor workmanship & material.
