Solar inverters
A lot of people who start with small foldable solar panels for bike packing eventually want to run more than just phones and power banks — things like laptops, camera gear, or small lights on longer tours. At that point, a proper inverter becomes useful.
There are quite a few different solar inverters available depending on what you need. Some are small and lightweight for portable use, while others are more powerful and designed to work with battery banks. The key things most people look for are pure sine wave output (safer for electronics), decent efficiency, and a power rating that matches what they actually plan to run.
Of course, for many short trips you can still manage fine without one, but if you’re doing multi-day wild camping or longer unsupported tours, adding a good inverter can give you a lot more flexibility.
