Honest wattage math, no hype

Portable Power Guide exists because "solar generator" marketing is confusing on purpose. Peak watts get sold as continuous watts, battery capacity gets quoted before inverter losses, and every brand claims to run a fridge for days.

How we size and rank

Every recommendation starts from the load, not the product: what you need to run, for how long, and with how much recharge (solar, car, or wall) you realistically get. We compare units on usable watt-hours, continuous inverter output, surge handling, recharge speed, battery chemistry and cycle life, and noise — from spec sheets, manuals, and documented owner experience. Where sources disagree, we say so.

Affiliate disclosure

Some links are affiliate links. If you buy through them, we may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. Rankings are locked before links are added, and a brand paying more never moves it up a list. Pages with affiliate links carry this disclosure.
