Best portable power stations if you take solar charging seriously
Top pick
F3800 Plus
Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus
Two 165V MPPT inputs that take up to 3,200W with no separate high-voltage controller make Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus the strongest solar-first portable system. Apex 300 accepts 2,400W directly, and more with SolarX. Yeti PRO 4000 is a strong 120V RV alternative.

Product data updated
How we countedThe count uses each product's current fit ratings for “Solar will be a real part of how I recharge”, “I need output that is natively 120V and 240V”, “I might expand battery capacity later”, and “I need to connect to an RV directly at 30A”. A need with no documented match is not counted.
How we calculatedThese are nominal watt-hour ratings. How much energy you get out depends on inverter losses, temperature and load. The median draws on the 50 of 50 models that publish comparable figures.
