Hello,
New here, so hello.
Myself and my wife work from home and run office equipment that draws around 110Watts at 240V (laptops, screens, router etc).

I've been looking at setting up the below to save a little electricity and have a go at a solar panel project:

4x 120W Mono Solar Panel
1x 60A PWM Solar Controller
1x 1500W 24V-220V Pure Sine Wave Inverter
2x 50Ah 12V LiFePO4 Lithium Battery
For £1100.

But then I thought maybe a power station would be easier to setup and little more versatile , i.e. I could take it camping etc so started looking at this:

EcoFlow DELTA 2 Portable Power Station
440W Portable Folding Solar Panel
For £1700.


What are peoples thoughts? I think both systems would provide around 9 hours on battery.
 
at 8 hours a day, and 40p/kWh from the grid, I think it will take you 10 years to recover the money spent at £1100.

Probably better off with a grid tied set of panels or AC battery you can charge overnight at off peak rates of arund 4.5p
