## Abstract

The present invention relates to a solar powered electric generator having a housing having at least one vent to allow air to exit from inside of the housing and at least one air intake allow air to enter the housing. The solar powered electric generator includes a cooling fan to blow air out of the at least one vent and a threaded electrical input connector to receive electrical energy from a solar panel array. The solar powered electric generator includes at least one rechargeable battery, at least one electrical output connector, and at least one electrical controller distribute electrical power received from the threaded electrical input connector to the at least one rechargeable battery and the at least one electrical output connector. The solar powered electric generator includes an adjustor that allows a user to adjust the output electrical energy to the at least one electrical output connector.
