Portable power stations work by storing electricity in their internal battery, which you can recharge from a standard wall outlet, your car's 12V socket, or even solar panels. For solar, you'll need to pair the power station (the battery) with a solar generator to convert sunlight.

Under optimal conditions, a 200W solar panel can generate 200 watts of power per hour. To charge a 100Ah battery, you would need 100Ah times the battery's voltage (commonly 12V for a lead-acid battery), which equals 1200 watt-hours.

The charge controller (charge regulator) monitors the battery's charge state and should have logic control to know when and how much to charge the batteries.
