Solar VS Gas Generators: What’s Best?

Compared to a traditional gas generator, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro recharges through solar power. Just connect it to the solar panels included in this bundle package. It can run continuously off of solar energy generated by the sunlight, so you don’t have to purchase additional fuel.

Solar-Powered Jackery is Quiet, Versatile & Eco-Friendly:

In addition, solar generators run very quietly (no exhaust or fumes to worry about either). For example, the Explorer 2000 has an extra low noise output level of 52 decibels , which is quieter than a standard dishwasher.

On top of that, this device weighs less than 50 pounds. Therefore, you can move it around, travel with it and set it up in different locations. In that way it’s very versatile.

Jackery Solar Generators Have Mutiple Power Outlets (USB, AC, 12V) for Versatility

It also comes with multiple ports (AC, USB-A, USB-C, 12V Car Port, AC Input, DC Input) As a result, you can plug-in virtually any device, from your cell phone or camera to a coffee maker, blender, hot plate, power tool and more…

Portable Power Station is Easy to Use & Low Maintenance:

This all-in-one battery set-up is also very safe and reliable. For instance, the lithium battery has dual battery protection and four temperature core detectors.

It also provides fault codes and low battery indicators right on device, so you immediately know what’s going on with the machine if there’s a problem. The BMS (battery management system) monitors the unit’s temperature, tracks internal connections and calculates its remaining charge.

Safe and Reliable Portable Power Generator - Jackery Explorer 2000

You may pay more for a portable solar power generator than building a system yourself from scratch. That said, this simplified system is super convenient and easy to use, making the Jackery with with extra cost for many people.

Note: Jackery solar generators are not designed to supply power to your entire house in the case of an electrical outage. However, with a 2160 watt hour capacity, this larger model can power some refrigerators and air conditioners. Plus, it comes in handy for charging other high-power machines like e-bikes, pellet smokers, coolers etc..

How Long to Charge the Solar Jackery Power Station?

You can completely charge this portable power station in as little as 2.5 hours with 6 x 200-watt solar panels. However, if you don’t care about fast charging and want to save money, you can use 2 x 200-watt panels to charge the unit in 7.5 hours. (Or use 4 panels for a 5-hour re-charge.)

Therefore, you have options when it comes to how much money you want to spend on your solar generator system. You can also start with 2 or 4 panel packages and then purchase additional panels separately at a later time.

Jacker Solar Generator has Pass-Through Charging, So You Can Run Your Appliances While Simultaneously Re-Charging Your Generator

Alternatively, you can charge the Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro via a standard AC wall outlet in 2 hours. Or, with a 12V car port it takes 24 hours.

Note: By the way, this system has a pass-through charging system.

In other words, you can re-charge your portable generator while still running your appliances, tools or electronics. (This feature comes in really handy if you have an electric cooler, computer or phone.)
