How To Connect A Solar Panel To Westinghouse Portable Power Stations<\/h2>\n

Westinghouse is a company mostly known for their gas generators, but recently they released a couple of portable power stations that can be charged with solar panels.<\/p>\n

Portable power stations usually mean that there is a lithium battery, an inverter (DC to AC), and a solar charge controller inside.<\/p>\n

Today I am going to show you how you can connect solar panels to these power stations, and recommend a couple of panels that will connect directly to the input on these Westinghouse batteries.<\/p>\n

Let’s start by taking a closer look at the three models currently available, the iGen160s<\/a>, iGen200s<\/a>, iGen300s<\/a>. They’re not all the same, so pay attention to the differences depending on which one you have\/you’re planning to buy.<\/p>\n\n

Westinghouse Portable Power Stations Compared<\/h2>\n

The information about each of these models is directly from the manuals found on Westinghouse’s website.<\/p>\n\n

If it’s a solar panel that comes with several different DC adapters and connectors, you just need to put on the right one and plug it into the power station.<\/p>\n

If Your Solar Panel Has MC4 Connectors<\/h2>\n

If you have a solar panel with MC4 connectors, you can use an adapter to connect it to your specific power station.<\/p>\n

There are two things you need to know when doing this.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. It can’t be a solar panel with a built-in charge controller, since the power stations already have a controller built-in.<\/li>\n
  2. It has to be a 12V solar panel, and it shouldn’t be larger than 100W. Preferably between 50-80W, since the Westinghouse power stations can only handle 2 and 3 amps of input at most (around 36W with the iGen160s and 54W with the iGen200s and iGen300s).<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Connect an MC4 solar panel to iGen160s<\/h3>\n

    Since the iGen160s has a 5.5×2.1mm input port, you’ll need this adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>. It has a positive MC4 female connector, and a negative MC4 male connector, so you need to make sure your panel is wired with a positive MC4 connector. The panels I recommend down below do.<\/p>\n

    Connect an MC4 solar panel to iGen200s\/iGen300s<\/h3>\n

    The larger Westinghouse power stations have an 8mm input, so to make the connection you need the MC4 to 8mm adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>. It has a positive MC4 female connector, so you need to make sure your panel has a positive MC4 male connector. The panels I recommend down below do.<\/p>\n

    Which Panels I Recommend<\/h3>\n

    All three of these panels use MC4 connectors, so you need one of the adapters above. Which one depends on which iGen model you have.<\/p>\n

    The Renogy 50W<\/a> – A good little solid panel that will generate about 25-40W in good sunshine. Has mounting holes so you can screw it down.<\/p>\n

    The Renogy Flexible 50W<\/a> – A flexible 50W panel that is lighter than the solid panels. Has mounting holes.<\/p>\n

    The Renogy 100W<\/a> – I wouldn’t go larger than a 100W panel with the Westinghouse power stations. This is a 100W panel from Renogy, and I own a couple of these so I know that they’re great. Will max out the input of the larger Westinghouse batteries most hours of the day.<\/p>\n

    Frequently Asked Questions<\/h2>\n

    Does Westinghouse Include Solar Panels?<\/h3>\n

    Nope.<\/p>\n

    How Fast Will A Solar Panel Charge The Westinghouse Power Stations?<\/h3>\n

    At max amperage, the iGen160s can handle about 36W (2A @ 18V). The two larger ones can do 3A, or about 54W (3A @ 18V).<\/p>\n

    Based on those numbers (take them with a grain of salt), the iGen160s can be charged in less than 5-6 hours. The iGen200s can be charged in 4-5 hours, and the iGen300s can be charged in 6-7 hours.<\/p>\n

    Can I Use a 24V Solar Panel?<\/h3>\n

    No, a 24V panel outputs a voltage too high for the charge controllers in these power stations.<\/p>\n

    Can I Connect Two Panels?<\/h3>\n

    You could connect two panels with MC4 connectors with an MC4 Y branch<\/a>. Still, I don’t recommend going over 100W total watts, so you could do 50W x 2.<\/p>\n

    You need to connect the panels in parallel (not series) to not double the voltage and go over the limit of these power stations.<\/p>\n

    Just connect both positive wires from the solar panels to one of the adapters, then do the same with the negatives. Finally, connect the adapters to the MC4 to 8mm adapter (click to view on Amazon)<\/a>, and you’re good to connect them to the power stations.<\/p>\n
