Pecron F1000LFP power station, and 4 120 watt Bruun brand portable solar panels.
I removed the regulator from the solar panels (had USB ports, were not series-friendly), and direct-wired a DC5525 female plug to the positive and negative wires of the panel (regulator had a semi-regulated DC5525 port). I made a couple of cables with 2 DC5525 plugs and an Anderson 45a plug on each, to be able to wire a pair of the panels in series, doubling volts to 36v (panels are 18v, 6.67a each). I ordered a Y-splitter adapter for the Pecron DC charging port, with 2 Anderson 45a plugs. This allows me to run two pairs of the series-wired panels in parallel, for 36v and about 13a (on a good day). I saw about 360 watts today, with the occasional sunshine.
