Hello! I wanted to do my first project with solar panels and I don’t know where to start.

I was thinking of make some transportable solar panel with a couple of outlets where it will be capable of charging cellphones or laptops, not sure if with a battery or not.

Any recommendations of easy to follow guides?

Edit: Also, what do I need to do a standard plug “type I” (10 A, 220V)

    If you want to charge cellphones and laptops, getting foldable solar panels to charge a battery bank, like a Jackery, should be pretty simple and wouldn’t require much, if anything, in terms of doing your own electrical work.

    If you want something bigger, or to do your own electrical work, that can get a lot more involved, depending on the scope of your project.

      I was thinking about start small, but my final idea is move to solar completely in the end.

      Basic, I’m used to fixing cables and some easy to figure out electronics. Also modded some consoles that they needed soldering. I have some facility with electronics, but not much technical knowledge.
