Black Friday Solar Deals 2026: Power Stations, Solar Kits & Batteries

By Serhii Dovzhenko, Solar & Energy Storage Specialist · Updated November 9, 2026 · Prices checked November 9, 2026 · Data verification: Adsec.ca

Black Friday 2026 falls on November 27, Cyber Monday on November 30. Every year we see the same pattern: shoppers wait for the big day, then find the model they wanted sold out or discover it cannot run their well pump. This page is our deals hub for the season. It lists only products that are in stock and active in our store today, with the real price, the list price shown on the product page, and the best promo code that actually applies at checkout. We will re-check every price, code and stock level each Monday and on Thanksgiving Day, and update this page when anything changes.

Adobe Digital Insights expects US online holiday sales to reach a record $275.1 billion this season, with $47.5 billion spent during Cyber Week alone and electronics discounts peaking at about 30% off list on Cyber Monday (Adobe forecast, Sept 2026). Solar gear follows the same curve, but stock on large power stations and freight kits runs out faster than on TVs. If you know what you need, the deals below are already live.

Black Friday solar deals 2026: power stations

Prices checked November 9, 2026. "List price" is the compare-at price shown on our product page. One code per order. ECO100 needs a cart of $1,500 or more, so a Mango Power E ($1,299) or HomePower 3000 ($1,499) qualifies only with an add-on such as a solar panel. All units use LiFePO4 batteries. Free shipping to the lower 48 states.

Black Friday home backup bundles and whole-home solar kits

Bundles are where the ECOBLACK2026 code matters. It takes $150 off carts of $2,000 or more on 25 selected products from November 20 to December 1 - the ones in stock are priced in the last column below. Where a bigger code already applies today, we show that one.

Prices and stock checked November 9, 2026. Sold-out kits removed. Kits ship by freight. More kits are in our Black Friday & Cyber Monday 2026 sale collection.

Every promo code, and when it works

Two rules save most checkout headaches. First, one code per order: pick the largest code your cart qualifies for. Second, the minimum is the cart subtotal of eligible items, so a $999.99 power station alone will not unlock ECO100, but adding a $499.99 solar panel can. Each product card in our store shows the code that applies to it.

Price per kWh: the fastest way to spot a real deal

A big "% off" badge tells you little. What you are buying is stored energy, so divide the price by the battery capacity in kWh. That one number lets you compare a $499 unit with a $3,049 unit on equal terms.

Three things stand out this year:

• 2 kWh units beat 1 kWh units. The Bluetti Elite 200 V2 ($434/kWh) and Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 ($465/kWh with ECO50) cost less per kWh than any 1 kWh model we stock.
• The 3.5 kWh class is the value leader. The Mango Power E at about $368/kWh is the cheapest way to get more than a day of essentials from one box.
• 240V costs extra. The HomePower 3600 Pro Max (about $558/kWh with ECO100) and Apex 300 (about $614/kWh; codes do not apply) cost more per kWh for their 240V output. You pay for split-phase output and big inverters, which only makes sense if you need to run a well pump or other 240V loads.

Size it before you buy: the 3-minute math

A deal on the wrong size is not a deal. Use this quick method, or run your list through our Solar Kit Calculator.

Step 1: add up daily energy (kWh)

A typical outage list: refrigerator 1.5 kWh + Wi-Fi router and modem 0.5 kWh + 10 LED bulbs for 5 hours 0.45 kWh + phones and a laptop 0.2 kWh = about 2.65 kWh per day.

Step 2: divide by 0.85 for usable capacity

Inverter losses and reserve mean you get about 85% of the rated battery. 2.65 ÷ 0.85 = 3.1 kWh of battery for 24 hours. That points to a 3.5 kWh class unit such as the Mango Power E or HomePower 3600 Pro Max. A 2 kWh unit covers the same list for about 15-16 hours, which is enough for an overnight outage.

Step 3: check starting watts, not just running watts

Motors draw 3-5 times their running power for a moment at start-up. A fridge that runs at 150 W can need 1,200 W to start; a 1 HP well pump that runs at about 1,200 W can need 3,500-4,500 W and usually 240V. If your list includes a well pump, filter for 120/240V units with 6,000 W or more.

Step 4: plan the recharge

Daily solar harvest ≈ panel watts × peak sun hours × 0.8. Two 200 W panels in 4 sun hours give about 1.3 kWh per day, roughly half of the essentials list above. Buying panels in a bundle during the sale usually costs less than adding them in spring.

Our 6 best Black Friday solar picks for 2026

Best deal under $600

1. Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 - $549.99 (list $799.99)

1,024 Wh · 2,000 W (3,000 W peak) · 120V · 4,000 cycles · 5-year warranty · 24.9 lb · $549.99 (list $799.99)

The S2000 that led this list in October has sold out, so our pick for a small, fast deal is now the C1000 Gen 2 at about 31% under its list price. It recharges from a wall outlet in about 49 minutes with UltraFast charging (1,600 W), takes up to 600 W of solar, and its 10 ms UPS keeps a router, CPAP or computer running through a grid drop. Anker rates it for roughly 7-14 hours on a double-door refrigerator. It is not expandable, and our promo codes do not apply to it.

Pros2,000 W output in a 24.9 lb box; 49-minute recharge; 10 ms UPS; 5-year warranty.

Cons1 kWh only; not expandable; no promo code applies.

Best home backup value

3. Mango Power E - $1,299, no code needed

3,530 Wh of LiFePO4 (rated for 6,000 cycles) and 3,000 W of 120V output for $1,299 - about $368 per kWh, the lowest of any single power station we carry. It accepts up to 2,000 W of solar, adds a second battery for 7,060 Wh, and has a 5-year warranty. At about 100 lb it is a roll-it-around unit rather than a carry one. Store price $1,299, checked November 9, 2026; ECO100 applies only if your cart reaches $1,500.

ProsAbout $368/kWh, 2,000 W solar input, 6,000 cycles, 5-year warranty, expandable to 7 kWh

Cons120V only from one unit; about 100 lb

Best 240V deal

4. Jackery HomePower 3600 Pro Max - $1,999 with ECO100 (sold out)

One unit gives true 240V: 4,000 W at 240V (8,000 W surge) through a NEMA 14-50 outlet, or 2,000 W on its 120V outlets. 3,584 Wh of LiFePO4 rated for 6,000 cycles runs a fridge, lights, internet and a furnace blower through a long evening, and add-on battery packs take it to 21.5 kWh (43 kWh with two units in parallel). A sub-10 ms UPS keeps computers on through a grid drop, and it connects to household circuits through a manual transfer switch. Store price $2,099 (list $2,309), checked November 9, 2026; ECO100 takes $100 off this model (one code per order).

ProsTrue 240V from one unit, 8,000 W surge, expandable to 21.5 kWh, 6,000 cycles, UPS

ConsOnly 2,000 W on the 120V outlets; about 74 lb; transfer switch and install extra

Sold out (stock checked November 9, 2026). In-stock alternative: Mango Power E 240V kit ($2,599) for 240V output, or the Jackery HomePower 3000 ($1,499) for 120V.

Best backup kit with automatic transfer

5. Mango Power E home backup kit with mPanel Pro - $3,099 (list $3,719)

Two Mango Power E stations (7,060 Wh total) plus the mPanel Pro, a smart integration box a licensed electrician wires to your essential-loads panel. When the grid drops, those circuits switch to the stations' combined 6,000 W of 120/240V power automatically - fridge, furnace blower, well pump, lights and Wi-Fi stay on without extension cords. Each station takes up to 2,000 W of solar, and the kit grows to 14,120 Wh with one expansion battery per station. This replaces the Anker F3000 transfer-switch kit, which has sold out. Store price $3,099, checked November 9, 2026; our promo codes do not apply to this kit.

ProsAutomatic switchover; 240V for well pumps; 4,000 W solar input; expandable to 14 kWh

ConsElectrician install required; two ~100 lb units; no promo code

Buy now or wait for Black Friday?

Our honest answer: buy now if the product you want is listed above at a price you are happy with. Here is why.

• The codes are already live. ECO100, ECO50, SAVE250 and EARLYBF500 work today. Only ECOBLACK2026 waits until November 20, and it applies to 25 products.
• Brand pricing moves monthly. Jackery's October promotional prices ended on November 8, so most Jackery units now cost $60-$300 more than in October (the HomePower 3600 Pro Max went from $1,799 to $2,099). Prices can move again before Black Friday.
• Stock is the real risk. Three Anker deals we listed in October (S2000, C2000 Gen 2 and the F3000 kits) have already sold out. Freight kits also take longer to deliver than parcel orders, so ordering early gives you a system in place before winter storms.
• Waiting makes sense for the 25 ECOBLACK2026 products if your cart is $2,000 or more and $50 more savings matters to you (versus ECO100).

What our customers ask before buying

• "I saw a $100 code online - does it work on this?" This is the most common pre-sale question we get. ECO100 is real, but it needs a $1,500+ cart of eligible items, and only one code applies per order.
• "Can you put my whole system on one invoice?" Buyers of multi-part systems (batteries, inverter, panels, cables) often ask us to bundle everything on one order. Our team can do that, which also makes it easier to reach a code's minimum.
• "A local company quoted me a different battery - is it the same?" Customers often send us a competitor's link. We compare spec for spec: usable kWh, BMS current, cycle rating, low-temperature charging and warranty, not just amp-hours.
• "How big is the delivery?" Large kits arrive on freight pallets, and mounting racks can be long and heavy enough to need a pickup or trailer. Plan the delivery spot before you order.
• "Which size do I need?" We usually answer with the Solar Kit Calculator and the 3-step math above. Most essentials-only buyers land on 2-3.6 kWh.
