Solar and Panels
Panels are where backup plans quietly succeed or fail. The battery gets the attention, but the array decides whether day two looks like day one.
These guides size panels from your actual daily load, settle the rigid vs folding question with cost per watt math, and explain compatibility, the voltage and input limits that decide whether your panels and your station are a system at all.

How much solar do you actually need?
Watts, watt hours, sun hours, and panel sizing in plain language, ending with a worked example that sizes panels to a real daily load.
Checked November 7, 2026Solar panels for power stations: rigid vs folding
Cost per watt math for the two panel families, when each one makes sense, and why the cheap watts are heavy and the light watts are expensive.
Checked November 7, 2026Panel compatibility, explained
Open circuit voltage, input limits, series vs parallel in plain terms, and why a big battery can still refuse most of your panels.
