This system was done as tutorial and training to get some basic experience. It was my 1st selfbuild "complete system".
Been using it ever since 2014...

The design was choosen to have a electricity supply for power needs during offgrid renovation works. Small soldering, charge some drill batteries, illuminate a construction site using led’s, etc.. nothing like powertools or such.

Technical Stats:
10 Watt Solar Module
5 Ampere 12 Volt Solar PWM Chargecontroller
20 Ah 12 Volt Lead-Acid Gel Battery
Voltmeter
300 Watt Modified Sinus Inverter
5 Volt / 12 Volt / 220Volt Output

The size of the solar module was picked so it would fit inside the suitcase for transport. The solar chargecontroller supports a lot more power-input so it is possible to have a larger “home station module” to connect the suitcase to.

This style of setup works in a lot of different housings.
toolboxes, cooling boxes, beercases, etc. i have seen such microsystems in many casings..
size battery/inverter/solar according to your needs.
