I’m using a solar power setup to charge my laptop, but I’m facing inconsistent charging and sudden shutdowns.
I want to understand what factors usually cause this, such as inverter output, voltage stability, or battery limits.
If anyone has experience using laptops with solar or alternative power sources, I’d appreciate practical tips or things to check.

Hi @emmataylor,

Welcome to the HP Support Community.
 

Thank you for posting your query. I will be glad to help you.


I understand how unsettling it feels when power flickers and the laptop suddenly goes dark. Inconsistent charging often comes from unstable inverter output, voltage drops, or battery limits in the solar setup. Checking that your inverter delivers steady voltage and that your battery has enough reserve can help smooth the flow and prevent those abrupt shutdowns.


I hope this helps.

 

Take care and have an amazing day!
