Abstract

The study explores the efficiency and versatility of a power station with multiple charging inputs—solar, AC, and car charging—and various output ports. This design ensures compatibility with numerous devices, making it ideal for outdoor activities, emergencies, and off-grid living. The modular construction allows for easy upgrades. Environmentally, it supports sustainable practices through renewable energy use, while economically, it offers long-term savings by reducing reliance on traditional power sources. User-friendly features and robust safety mechanisms enhance the experience. The prototype can support 12-volt appliances up to 60 amps, AC appliances under 500 watts, and Type-C devices up to 65 watts, with a USB port delivering 24 watts. This study is pivotal for advancing sustainable energy systems.
