There is a DIY answer: The portable solar power station. Having it both ways…almost. My regular readers will know that I am always harping about how alternative energy is a series of compromises & tradeoffs. To get something, you always have to give something else up.
More About opengreenenergy » A DIY portable solar generator is an excellent project for individuals who want to harness the power of the sun while also having a reliable source of electricity on the go. You can easily make your portable solar generator with a little knowledge and some basic tools.
The portable solar power station is ideal for radio amateurs who have outgrown smaller panels and kit systems but are not ready to commit to a large scale permanently installed solar array. Do not think of this setup as something to be used only in the field or for special occasions.
With average sun, this 150-300 watt portable solar power station will produce enough energy to run a 25-50 watt radio all day (or a 100 watt radio on a conservative duty cycle) while at the same time charge batteries and power other modest loads, such as a laptop computer.
Use 8 gauge wire for the inverter and battery. The other connections can use 12 gauge wire. The two bus bars are the central connection point for the entire portable solar power station. The battery terminates on the bus (+ and -). Be sure to include a circuit breaker or fuse between the positive side of the battery and the positive bus.
The solar panels turn sunshine into power, which is subsequently stored in the battery bank. The charge controller ensures that the battery is properly charged and protects it from overcharging. Finally, the inverter transforms the saved DC power to alternating current (AC), allowing you to power different devices and appliances from anywhere.
