That is a strange question.
Batteries are just the power storage.
Solar generator has batteries, Solar charge controller, inverter, etc....
So please clarify as to what your requirements are and what you are trying to accomplish.

Most SG’S are packaged around a key goal, like weight, or portability, and most batteries are designed for a capacity/price ratio. If you are DIY’ing, a setup, you can usually beat a prepackaged SG… especially if you only need DC or USB, or a certain inverter capacity…

Depends on the use. Or possibly if you have some of the parts already.

When someone leads with "cheap" I can't help but go here. I'll show myself out...

What is it you need to do as a power requirement?

I built my own solar generator because I could not find one that met my requirement for a 1200 watt hour lithium battery with a 300 watt inverter and up to 900 watts of panels hooked up.

This will get you using solar.
But only way to know if you need more is to measure consumption.

 

[Supervstech]

Ten 240W panels may exceed the VOC maximum voltage of the controller.
Post the panel specs here so we can help you configure them best.
Also, a single 6548 will only provide 120V, so keep that in mind.

i wasnt going to use all the panels i was saying thats i had already. I have an ecoflow and 2 extra batteries already, just wanted to find a cheaper alternative. Just wanted to know if i get the 2 above can i run an extension cord from it
