Anker Solar Power Charger

Anker Solar Power Charger: Panels and the Stations They Charge

An Anker solar power charger in this collection means one of two things: the SOLIX PS400 folding panel that turns sunlight into charge for a SOLIX station, or a station bundled with that panel so you get both halves in one order. The panel alone suits people who already own an F3000 or F3800; the bundles suit anyone starting from scratch who wants a fridge, tools or a home circuit running from the sun.

The collection lists 16 products, all Anker SOLIX. The standalone 400W panel starts at $700, the F3000 station on its own at $1,500, and bundles range from $1,900 for an F3000 with a 400W panel to $6,100 for the F3800 PLUS with a home power panel.

How to choose an Anker solar charger

• Panel wattage against station input. The Anker SOLIX 400W 48V PS400 Portable Solar Panel produces up to 400W at 23% cell efficiency. The F3000 accepts 2,400W of solar and the F3800 PLUS 3,200W, so one panel uses a fraction of the input. Buy one to start, add more when you know your real daily use.
• Portable or rigid. The PS400 folds and travels. For a permanent cabin or shed install, the Anker SOLIX F3800 PLUS + 440W Rigid Solar Panels ships with an 880W fixed array instead.
• Storage behind the panel. A 400W panel refilling a 3,072Wh F3000 is a different day from the same panel refilling a 6,144Wh setup. The Anker SOLIX F3000 + 400W Portable Solar Panel at $1,900 is the balanced starting kit; the F3000 with 6,144Wh Extra Battery and 400W Panel doubles storage for $2,900 and really wants a second panel.
• Voltage of the panel. The PS400 is a 48V panel designed for the SOLIX 48V stations. It is not a 12V panel for a car battery or a small third-party charge controller.

Setup and usage tips

• Run the Solar Kit Calculator with your ZIP code first. It tells you how many panel watts your location needs to refill the battery you pick; in the northern states in winter, one 400W panel often is not enough for a 3,072Wh station.
• Angle the PS400 toward the sun and reposition it at midday. A flat Anker portable solar charger on the ground gives up a large share of its rated output.
• Keep the panel surface clean. Dust and pollen on a folding panel cut output the same way they do on a roof array.
• Do not chain panels beyond the station's input rating. 2,400W on the F3000 and 3,200W on the F3800 PLUS are hard limits.
• Charge the station from the wall before a trip. Solar is for topping up; an Anker foldable solar charger will not fill 6,144Wh in a day.

Frequently asked questions

Does the PS400 work with non-Anker power stations? It is a 48V panel built for SOLIX stations. We only recommend it for the F3000, F3800 and F3800 PLUS listed here.

How many PS400 panels can I connect? As many as the station's solar input allows: up to 2,400W on the F3000 line and 3,200W on the F3800 PLUS. Start with one and measure.

Is an Anker solar panel charger enough on its own for a phone or laptop? It is designed to charge a station, not devices directly. Pair it with a SOLIX station and charge devices from the station's ports.

Everything here ships free to the mainland US from Anker partner warehouses, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. If you are matching a panel to a station you already own, call and we will confirm the fit.
