My office/ lab at home uses around 600W when fully running, and I see that there are quite a few power stations
that will comfortably handle that, and foldable 4 panel setups that can generate 300-400W.
Would there be any issues plugging a UPS (my lab has a few of them) into a solar power station such as this?
Is there some sort of feature I want to look for such as sin wave, etc to have this work reliably, or does a UPS not really care since the controller in the power station should be normalizing voltage, etc?
It’s fine, I have several UPSs on a critical loads panel that I’ll run off an Ecoflow during extended power outages. And just for the heck of it, I’ve run my big office UPS directly off the EcoFlow all day. As I have rooftop solar this doesn’t provide any daily benefit aside from backup, but it’s perfectly fine to do so. It doesn’t provide any economic benefit, most likely, though.
I would definitely use only a pure sine wave inverter. Fortunately these days it’s mostly the norm.
