good day dear community :)

first of all i hope youre all right and everyting goes well on your site.

I'm looking to build an off the grid system using a Raspberry Pi powered by a power bank or a battery and a solar panel.

That said i think that in the field of Raspberry Pi, power management plays a crucial role. It's not just about keeping the device running; it's about ensuring optimal running under good and stable condition (here we talk about the term stability) - and Performance (i think that i want to avoid crashes) and longevity of the project.

Goal: I'm looking to build an off the grid system with a Raspberry Pi powered by a power bank or a battery and a solar panel.
And here i think i need to have is a kind of a power interface, that will shut the Pi down safely when battery is very low. And besides this i think that it is obvous to have some kind of power-management: What about to power it back on soon as the batter has a significant amount of power, or the solar panel is providing enough power for both, the Pi and to charge the battery?

What do you think about this considerations!?

Background: i am a big fan of Battery-Powered Raspberry Pi Projects: i am lovin to take Raspberry Pi projects off the grid and making them portable. This step is amazing and it opens a world of possibilities, opions and much more, from outdoor environmental monitoring systems to a Tiny weather wstation.

And if we talk About powering this: i think using batteries as a power source is key to this mobility and all the great options,

Is there any interface for this? Does any body of you have some experience here ?

Any and all ideas are greatly wellcome

regards
