2026 update: availability + what Lodge claims today
Lodge has continued beyond its Kickstarter era and markets the Lodge Solar Speaker as a rugged, outdoor-first system. Per Lodge, the speaker is designed to live outdoors year-round, uses 180 square inches of solar panels, offers 15–30 hours of battery life depending on use, supports Bluetooth streaming up to about 100 feet, and targets an IP66 level of dust/water resistance.
Buying tip: if you’re shopping primarily for “set-and-forget” backyard audio, prioritize durability (IP rating), real-world battery life at your typical volume, and whether you want true wireless stereo (two speakers paired) versus a single unit.
