such as Hobotech. Hobotech is a YouTube channel that reviews a wide variety of off-grid solar products &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/purchasing-a-solar-generator-for-your-house\/\">solar generators<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/the-best-solar-panel-kits-with-a-battery-and-inverter\/\">panels<\/a>, batteries, inverters, fridges, etc.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The channel is hosted by the quirky Professor Hobo, a middle-aged tech-nerd sporting a lab coat, a long goatee, and a ponytail.

Initially, the channel did not focus on solar, and Professor Hobo, a.k.a. Tom, covered stuff like e-bikes, porch lights, window repairs, and PC installs. Over time, the Professor started sharing videos about <a href=\"https:\/\/ecotality.com\/best-rv-solar-panel-kits\/\">solar panel installation on an RV<\/a>, especially since his foray into the van life.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The turning point came when a representative from the solar generators brand <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/shopsolarkits.com\/search?q=jackery&amp;type=product\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Jackery<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> saw his video and approached him for a product review.
