As other commentators have pointed out, the images used are a huge problem and red flag for me. Why would I pay for this when you’re using the kind of photoshopped images of a product I would see on a cheap Chinese reselling site? Additionally you show flexible solar panels as part of the kit breakdown but every other image of solar panels is of a rigid, non-flexible kind. So which is it?

Essentially to me you are selling your personal support and the lack of hassle for the end-user to source their own parts.

I have a hard time trusting your parts when it doesn’t even seem like you have them yourself based on the images.

(I don’t mean this to attack your character. I fully believe that you care based on your other comments. That is how it reads on the site though)

You can purchase the same setup from Jackery that has customer support and looks cool too: https://www.jackery.com/ They have the portable batteries and color coordinated portable solar panels.

Care to explain why is it flamebait?

In this case it was nationalistically inflammatory. This kind of thing is guaranteed to rile people up and get them attacking each other stupidly (because humans get more stupid as we get more activated) instead of conversing curiously.
