What should I consider when building a DIY solar power station?

One important factor to consider when building this DIY solar power station: Since I’ve gone with a flooded lead-acid battery, it is extremely important to not drain the capacity past 50%. This is due to something called depth of discharge (D.O.D).

What's the difference between integrated home batteries and portable power stations?

Integrated home batteries are like standby gas or propane generators. They automatically kick in when the grid goes down, and they continue to pull energy in as they operate. You don't have to do anything. Portable power stations are like portable gas generators.

Should I buy an anker portable power station instead of a built-in battery?

What battery does my DIY power station use?

Are portable power systems cheaper than integrated home batteries?

Portable power systems may be cheaper than going with an integrated home battery, but the slow ability to recharge them means you have to operate from a mindset of limited power, prioritizing your critical loads rather than using power as you normally would when the grid is up. Integrated home batteries are like standby gas or propane generators.
