Hello,
I work at a farm and we need to power a compost sifter.
The sifter uses 2 electric vibrating motors to shake the sifter. Each motor is 100 Watts.
I have researched building my own unit or buying a pre-built station designed for camping and getting a panel to charge it.
Here are the stations I was looking at.



Is a 300 watt station enough to power the sifter or should I get something bigger?

Whatever I use it need to be portable, able to use outdoors in the heat, and under $1000.

I have no experience in solar and very little in electric builds.

Any advice is appreciated.
Thank you.
 
Welcome to the forum!

Sounds like a fun project.

First thing is to figure how much energy (watt hours) is needed.

How often do the motors run? Are they AC?
