    Newbie here. 100w panel with portable power station. Will it work?

    Got this station: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CS34G1ZH This 100w panel: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0CGTZH6X8 The station says in the pictures: "25w max 16-20v" and the panel has a "Voltage Open Circuit: 21.82V". Would this panel exceed the station or would it have a controller...

    Why such a huge difference in price?

    https://www.amazon.com/LiFePO4-Volt-Deep-Cycle-Battery/dp/B06XX197GJ ( $925) vs https://www.amazon.com/WEIZE-LiFePO4-Lithium-Rechargeable-Applications/dp/B09F2LLMY3 ($310) 1. These have the same specs (12 v, 100Ah), yet one is 3 times the price. Why? Is there any major differences between...

    Maximum Input Voltage question

    Solar arrays show their Maximum Input Voltage question, many around the 100v range, so this cannot be exceeded. Solar panels have an "open circuit voltage" (VoC) which is the amount of electricity they produce when there is no load, ie the batteries are fully charged. Example, your typical 100w...

    Noobie looking for advice

    Looking at having roughly a 5 KWh battery bank (lithium) using roughly 70-80% (~3.3 KWh) of this per day. Main usage would be: laptop, chest freezer + fridge. Id like to be able to replenish this usage every day (location Tennessee), so to charge roughly ~3.3 KWh assuming ~4 hours of direct...
