1. A modular portable power system comprising:
a power output module including a housing configured to house the following:
a DC to AC power inverter configured to receive a first DC power signal from a battery, convert the first DC power signal to an AC power output signal, and output the AC power output signal to one or more AC receptacles of the power output module;
an AC to DC power converter configured to receive an AC power input signal from an AC receptacle of the power output module, convert the AC power input signal to a first DC power charging signal, and output the first DC power charging signal to the battery;
a power interface including the one or more AC receptacles;
a solar panel charging interface configured to receive a second DC power signal from one or more solar panels and output a second DC power charging signal to the battery; and
a user interface including a display configured to display one or more parameters associated with the modular portable power system.
