Jackery at Eco Solar Kits: Power Stations, Solar Generators and Panels

Jackery makes LiFePO4 portable power stations, the SolarSaga folding panels that recharge them, and bundles of the two sold as solar generators. This brand page gathers the whole US catalog in one place, 64 products, so you can move between a bare station, a station-plus-panel kit and an add-on panel without jumping between categories.

The range starts at $109 with the Explorer 100 Plus, a 99Wh unit for phones and cameras, and runs up through the Explorer and HomePower stations to the HomePower 3000 kit. Stations sold alone go from 99Wh to 2,048Wh and up to 3,000W of output; kits add a 40W to 500W SolarSaga panel. If you already know your daily watt-hours, the numbers below map straight onto a model.

How to choose within the Jackery range

• Station only, or a solar generator kit. Buy a bare station if you charge from the wall or car, or already own a SolarSaga panel. Buy a kit if you want off-grid recharging from day one; the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 v2 with SolarSaga 200W at $789 costs $300 more than the same station alone and includes the matched panel.
• Explorer versus HomePower. Explorer is the travel line: the Jackery Explorer 600 v2 at 640Wh and 500W is a common first station. HomePower is the backup line, with 6,000-cycle batteries and higher output at the same capacity; the Jackery HomePower 1000 v2 gives 1,024Wh and 1,500W for $579.
• Output for the largest appliance. A microwave or space heater wants 1,500W or more. The HomePower 1000 Plus v2 delivers 1,800W with a 3,600W surge; the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus delivers 3,000W with a 6,000W surge from a 2,042Wh battery for $899.
• Capacity for how long you run it. 288Wh in the Explorer 300D lasts a weekend of small electronics. 1,536Wh in the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra runs a compressor fridge and lights for two to three days.
• Cycle rating. Ratings run from 2,000 cycles on the 100 Plus to 4,000 on the 300D, 1000 v2, 1500 Ultra and 2000 Plus, and 6,000 on the 600 v2 and every HomePower model. Daily users should lean toward the 6,000-cycle units.

Sizing tips

• Run the Solar Kit Calculator with your appliance list and ZIP code. It converts what you plug in into watt-hours, inverter watts and panel watts, which is exactly how the Jackery lineup is organized.
• Size the station on watt-hours first, output second. Most buyers who regret a purchase bought enough watts and too few watt-hours.
• Pair panels at roughly one fifth of the station's watt-hours: 200W for a 1,000Wh station, 400W to 500W for 2,000Wh and up.
• If a HomePower 2000 Plus v2 is on your list, note that it expands to 12kWh with add-on battery packs; start with the station and grow later rather than overbuying now.
• Black and white versions of the 1000 v2 and HomePower 1000 models are the same hardware; the black units are $30 to $40 less.
• For storm backup, keep the station on a wall charger between events so it is full when the power drops.

Frequently asked questions

What battery chemistry does Jackery use? Every station in this collection uses LiFePO4 cells, rated between 2,000 and 6,000 charge cycles depending on the model. That chemistry is why these units are suited to daily use rather than occasional emergencies only.

Can I add a panel to a station I bought without one? Yes. SolarSaga panels from 40W to 500W are sold separately on the Jackery solar panels page, and any Explorer or HomePower station accepts them.

Which Jackery is right for an RV? The Explorer 1500 Ultra or Explorer 2000 Plus for their capacity, or a HomePower 2000 Plus v2 if you also want it as home backup and the option to expand.
