              All I know about solar panels is from talking to fellow campers in Yellowstone. We were in a part of the park for three days and two nights where you could not run a suitcase generator/inverter which we have. So, a couple had a pull camping trailer with a foldable solar panel. Pretty cold at night and in morning could hear their furnace going on and off. Ours in the overhead camper saps our battery quick and two nights and we would be done. I asked about their set up. Harbor freight one. Fold out during day and put up at night. More than what they need. Tops off battery and have more than they need for a night running everything needed. Before next trip whenever Pat gets time off (nobody wants to work) we will have one  .  Driving from place to place we parallel truck and camper battery and truck charges camper. When parked we disconnect the two. Have drained both when we didn't and had to charge with generator/inverter to go again! Never want to rely on that deal for solar powered generator.  

I want to buy a portable solar generator and I don't know what specifications I should keep in mind before buying. could u please list the specifications of such products I've searched some company's websites but I couldn't understand their specifications because it is mentioned as abbreviations. the last question I want to ask is: What is the minimum electricity power (in Ampere) that a portable solar power generator can store?

I bought a Jackery 1000 with two solar panels.   I use it to charge my trolling motor batteries after fishing.   The boat yard at my condo doesn’t have power.  It will fully charge a 24 volt system after a full day of fishing.   Sometimes without using all 1000 watts.  Then I can charge it back up with solar or plug it in to my truck or an outlet in my house.  Works great!    Other guys at my condo have bought them after checking out mine.  There are cheaper versions out there but I’ve heard rumors of them not being so great.
