I totally agree to this being a big (t)ask. On the other hand it may be an easy thing for somebody experienced with such designs and therefore could also be seen as an opportunity to make money by selling this as a finished product.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately these All-in-One systems don't offer any settings regarding solar input, at least none of the brands/prodcuts I know of. Also the voltage is not a good decision factor as it will depend on which solar panel(s) you connect. This will be different for nearly...

I do have 6 different ones (3 of which have the noisy relay). They are not in daily use and I don't use them in a van or camper. Nevertheless this is something not found in any manuals and in very little reviews of solar power stations. Jason from the Jasonoid Youtube chanel has included it into...

yes, I'm referring to All-in-one systems like the Fossibot F2400 or the Anker Powerhouse 757. Not all powerstations have this mechanical relay, for example the Bluetti AC200 doesn't but some do and they are very annoying.

Hello SeaGal, the issue is that some power stations have a mechanical relay for this function. When this relay switches it is a) very noisy and b) do these relays have a limited lifetime. When solar panels are permanently connected you wouldn't want to have it close to you like e.g. in a van or...

Hello everyone. I've experienced that a lot of solar power stations have issues with solar panels when the sun is coming up or going down. 3 of the ppwer stations I've tested make clicking sounds every few seconds as the MMPT charge controller realizes voltage is coming in but then the amps are...

Thanks for answering. I don't have the fridge yet but from what I've seen of Dometic it should be more like 500-700Wh/day. It's 89 liters or roughly 3 cft. As for idle consumption I've tested the powerstation and it drops by roughly 1.5% SOC per hour when the inverter is on, about 0.5%/h for the...

I just ordered my first caravan and it is a fully electric one including a heatpump for cooling and heating, a compressor fridge as well as an induction cooktop. My idea now is to use a large solar power station to supply the caravan when camping as well as integrate a solar system into the...
