| dc.description.abstract | Portable solar power stations with compact solar panels and lithium-ion batteries are
useful for outdoor activities like camping and hiking for clean and renewable energy.
This paper presents the development of a backpack style portable solar power station
with weight less than 6 kg, that delivers 500 W for 30 minutes after one charge. It uses a
100 Ah, 3.7 V, lithium-ion battery with foldable solar panels and delivers sinusoidal 230
V, 50 Hz, AC output through standard socket outlets. Multiple outputs are provided
to enable several devices to take power simultaneously, for example charging multiple
devices. Solar panel output is fed to a push-pull converter that produces constant 400
V DC voltage for an H-bridge inverter which is operated with sinusoidal pulse width
modulation (SPWM) to produce sinusoidal, constant voltage, and constant frequency AC
output. The overall design is compact, sustainable, and adaptable to various weather
conditions, to provide a green option for outdoor enthusiasts for a better outdoor
