AmySukwan Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 So we have no electricity at our bungalow it is a long story. We have two solar powered power banks, a solar powered floodlight out front and my brother in law wired a car battery for a small light and charging port once solar banks are drained. I recognize that it is the hot, dry and hence very sunny season right now. I am shopping for a solar generator that is fairly small, inexpensive and portable but which can also at least plug in a few basics like my laptop. We've been long enough without refrigeration, a well pump, A/C or television that I'm not super concerned. I was curious if any of you have suggestions or experiences I am mostly just browsing on Lazada right now. How well do such things work especially with rainy weather? Is there anything I should be looking for? I may be travelling so I'd prefer if it is small enough to take camping, say...Do any of you have experience with this?

Crossy Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 This will probably do better over in Alternative Energy, let's move it and see what occurs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KhunLA Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 If you have the excess solar to charge a generator, why not just get another ESS if possible to parallel in. Unless wanting the portability of the generator. They are not inexpensive. EcoFlow seem to be a good manufacturer of.

Muhendis Posted March 28, 2023 Share Posted March 28, 2023 A friend of mine has recently left SRNE and tells me he is now working for Bluetti who do portable solar power supplies. I don't know if they are any good but here's a link: https://shopee.co.th/product/526381432/14906974417?gclid=CjwKCAjwoIqhBhAGEiwArXT7K2VT2jW_OixwxH7jbi20l2uEGlbnou_eF81e4pA-N9M_n6ExqHuqjhoCKW8QAvD_BwE 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrong end to start in regard to anything electrical. First get together the power demands of all the items you intend to use. Whether they are AC or can run on DC...............and cross reference the former with approximate time of use per day for each. This will put a figure on what you would require or at least come close. From there one can calculate size of the solar array and if any converter/ inverter is required and the losses they apply. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
