How to build your own Solar Power station for camping! Part 2
This is part 2 of my guide, you can find the first one [Here](https://steemit.com/doityourself/@simba/how-to-build-your-own-solar-power-station-for-camping-part-1 "Here").

So finally, the inverter came in. I also bought a short cable with a socket for the external 220V connector.
First, I chopped a small portion of the wire, as I only needed about 20cm of cable. I re-wired the socket connector after I passed it through the hole I drilled in the box:

I used hot glue-gun to stick the 220V socket to the external side of the box, in hind-sight it might have been a mistake, as it might melt in the sun, we'll see about that :)

The cheap 200W inverter I bought comes with a universal adapter, I needed to use it for the european-style sockets we have here in Israel. This wasn't sitting right, so sticked it together to make sure it holds. 
The other end of the inverter I connected to the battery output, same as the USB Ports:

Once done, I placed it in the sun and plugged a regular cellphone charger, and it was charging nicely.

hear and see your results :)
