Have had a fun time scaling a solar system for my own use. The prefabricated solar generator companies are pretty shoddy. Ecoflow seems like the best option for small setups like this, Based on the features, But Victron is the best for on the go solar with reliable functionality. Most of these Chinese made companies have planned obsolescence built in, So after 9 months it stops working if you use it often. Victron, SMA if you are doing house scale solar, And Fronius for above 20kwh scale seems like the best options. I’m in 6000$ and regret nothing. Solar is a fun experiment for how to power a bitcoin mine. An S21 is over 12000 watts continuously, So you need over 1000 amp hours of battery capacity and to keep those charging during the day at least 200 amps and a backup generator to connect to a shore power overnight is basic requirements. Even the most expensive Ecoflow products just barely cross this threshold and you would pay more for something plug and play. The savings in Solar are all about building and installing yourself.
