We tested portable power stations from Bluetti and Ecoflow that have solar panels as optional extras and found that they took over five hours to recharge to 44% and 79% respectively in sunshine with no clouds. But again, it'll depend on the size of the battery (the Bluetti was much larger) and how many solar panels you use.
