This was a fun weekend project I built with a cheap roller suitcase from walmart. I had some solar parts laying around, and with a few zip ties and a couple hours, I built a full system that can be wheeled anywhere it's needed. 

Parts list:

  1. Sealed lead acid deep cycle battery (12 volt 35 amp hour) -Click here

  2. Solar charge controller -Click here
    ​

    (cheaper, less efficient charge controller, -Click here)


  3. 300 watt Inverter -Click Here

  4. Roller Suitcase -Click here

  5. 20 amp inline fuse -Click here

  6. Pack of Xt-60 connectors -Click here

  7. Xt-60 Octopus Adapter (for connecting multiple appliances) -Click here

  8. Crimp connectors -Click here
    ​
  9. 10 Gauge wire -Click here

  10. Xt-60 watt meter -Click here

  11. Battery level indicator -Click here

Solar panel -Click Here
​

for this system, you should use 200 watts of solar panels (2x 100 watt solar panels) because that is how much the battery can handle. If you increase the size of the battery, you can increase the size of the solar array. If you want to use a larger battery, check out my battery section to see how many solar panels you can attach to it.
