Small solar power station with larger generator

Can a solar power station be used as a generator?

However, using one effectively is a little more complicated than many people realize. Technically, these units are electric power stations—giant battery packs, with the ports you need to plug in solar panels for charging. They can't actually harness solar power—and thus, act as a generator—unless you have both.

How do you choose a portable power station?

Perhaps the most obvious consideration is the capacity of the portable power station and the solar panels. The power station's capacity measures how much energy you can store, while the solar panels' capacity measures how much solar energy you can funnel into the battery at one time.
