User Insight-Based Product Features: • Portable and Compact Design: Mobility is key when it comes to outdoor adventures. The GB1000 shines with its compact design and ergonomic touchpoints allowing for easy transportation and hassle-free setup wherever your journey takes you.

Generac designed the GB1000 to withstand harsh conditions, ensuring it can endure rugged terrain and harsh temperatures.
Built To Last – When interviewing our future users during ethnographic research, users requested protection from bumps, dings & drops so that they could use their power station to its fullest potential. We have achieved this through our strategic use of high-density TPV overmold corners and utilize a strong polycarbonate ABS housing that can handle the outdoors well.
Oversized Rubber Feet – A power station can be used in any variety of locations, on any type of surface. Our oversized rubber feet provide stability even on difficult smooth or slippery surfaces.
Overmolded Underside Soft Grip – The ergonomic form and surface area distribute weight comfortably, while our overmold provides confidence of grip even when hands are wet.
Venting Protected From The Elements – The product venting is specifically designed to shed water and debris, protecting the internal components.
Flexible Storage Pouch – The rear storage pocket is a valuable feature that enhances convenience and practicality for users. Whether it’s charging cables, adapters, sunblock or phones, having a designated storage space ensures that everything you need is kept in one place, reducing the risk of misplacing or losing items.
Color Battery Life Gauge – Our screen is highly visible and bright enough to be read in direct sunlight at any angle. The screen also uses color to easily discern different screen information at a distance.
Intuitive UI – As a result of our user research, we removed visual clutter and unnecessary information from the screen to simplify the user experience. Only useful and needed information is displayed.
Non-Slip Wireless Charging Mat – A generous-sized and non-slip wireless charging mat is provided with perimeter safeguards, keeping your phone safe, secure, and charged.
Solar Panel Recharging – Outdoor and recreational users stated they require recharging off the grid, and Generac listened. The GB1000 can be recharged with the waterproof and portable Generac GS100 solar panel.
