I’m in the process of converting my garage to my home office and want to set up solar to run my laptop, a couple monitors, lights, phone charging and I’m sure a few other small things.

I’m looking at this power station EcoFlow DELTA Portable Power Station 1300 and getting 4 of these panels Topsolar Flexible Solar Panel 100W 24V/12V to run parallel.

It seems like this setup would work, but I’m just curious what people who know more think about this setup and if there’s a better way.

I do like the portable power station so if the power goes out I can bring it in the main house as well as being able to plug it into an outlet for those cloudy days and I like the flexible lightweight panels as I’ll be installing these myself.

    You may want to consider going with a more DIY build vs the Ecoflow. I have one, and it’s a good backup power solution, or for running a cooler fridge when camping, but it is not a UPS nor well suited to running daily loads (mine does not have LFP battery chemistry, so is only rated for something like 800 cycles).

    I’d go check out what folks are doing for this sort of arrangement at https://diysolarforum.com - lots of good stuff there.
