Keeping up on solar

At 4 peak sun hours, counting 75% of the panel rating: 200 W of panels bring in about 600 Wh a day, 38% of the 1,590 Wh it uses at 6 h a day. 1,000 W of panels bring in about 3,000 Wh a day, more than the 1,590 Wh it uses at 6 h a day, so the station keeps up.

Other options

The smallest EcoFlow model in the data that is enough for a full day of a slow cooker is the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Max (2,048 Wh). The nearest capacities from any brand:
