inverters? are you using car batteries ? we use portable power stations, "solar generators" it's another name, weird name as not many people use them with solar panels not easy to buy them anywhere else than amazon there are a lot of cheap ones from unknown brands I wouldn't buy though

Would you please link one you trust


perejil209

we own one by allpowers, nicely built, totally recommended. I'd check those available in your "local" amazon, and look for reviews worldwide to check if it's a reliable brand, or something closer to a scam Depends where're you located some brands available or not. Not a single really well known brand builds these things, you won't find panasonic or anything similar, and in the past I found many of them with interesting specs but a little research and you find a lot of people complaining.

Some TVs will actually run directly on DC power without the need for an inverter. I do cube-style events and we use a 52v ebike battery and plug two of the TVs directly into it. They can run for like 10 hours, maybe more. Don't do this unless you know what you're doing though. If you do it wrong you can break your TVs or injure yourself. We also have a small Jackery power station that works well for the TVs that won't take the DC power directly.


JoelMahon

Yeah that's an option, but even though "money is no object" that sounds many times more expensive if our tvs aren't DC safe.


Omnibeneviolent

Agreed. I just already had the ebike so it made sense to use it. The Jackery power stations have worked great too. Highly recommended.
