I think you will need a generator for that. There may be a solar panel capable of generating that much power, but it aint going to be portable.

Does solar power work through windows?
Solio: Making portable solar power better with velcro strips

Or does the glass remove most or all of the energy contained in sunlight?

Just wondered if I power one of those portable solar chargers if I can leave it working during the day next to a window.
Thanks for the answers.

It works fine through windows. You lose a little energy to the glass, but it's not a significant amount and solar panels still work fine in indoor sunlight.

    Is it possible to use a portable solar device to put electricity ...

    by admin

    I live in an apartment that has a small South facing porch, in Southern California. I’d like to use solar to decrease my monthly electric bill. Without buying a rooftop system (it’s not my roof, it must be portable), what can I get to plug into my existing sockets, to decrease my monthly electricity bill? (I already buy carbon credits and have special plugs to reduce drain from energy vampires).

    Hey Socal, it’s always good to hear someone is interested in going solar. In your situation, you don’t have a lot of options, but it is possible to do it. What you need is called a microsine inverter. For several years Trace Engineering built one called the MS100, also referred to as the OK4U inverter. It is very small, can convert up to 100 watts of solar power into household AC and basically dump it right into your homes existing wiring. They stopped making them a few years ago, but I have seen them at resale websites like Ebay and Alt E Store on line. In fact, lots of them are sold already attached to a properly sized panel. They are not cheap, you might spend close to $1000 to get a slightly used set with the inverter already installed on the panel that puts out 100 watts or so.
