Step 1: Check The Started And Rated Wattage Of A Mini Split
The wattage required to start a device two to three seconds before its running time is known as the started or surge wattage. The rated wattage is the wattage drawn by the device while running. These wattages are mentioned directly on the device or in the manufacturer's user manual. If this is not the case, you can find the device's voltage and ampere in the user manual, and by multiplying them, you will get the wattage.
Step 2: Check the Started And Rated Output Wattage Of Jackery
It is essential to know the starting and rated wattage of the power station to determine whether it is compatible with the device you are charging. The power station with the right size and capacity will provide ample power to the device with long working hours. If you look at the power station's model number, you can learn its output wattage. For example, the output wattage of Jackery Solar Generator 1000 will be 1000 watts. However, this doesn’t apply to the “Plus series.”
Let’s say you want to run a mini-split (1000W) with Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station; then you can calculate the working hours using the formula given below:
Working Hours = Jackery Portable Power Station Capacity in Wh × 0.85 / Operating Wattage of mini split
Working Hours = 2042.8 Wh × 0.85 / 1000W = 1.73 hours.
Note: While charging the devices, some power loss occurs; hence, multiplied by 0.85.

Jackery Solar Generator and Jackery Portable Power Station: How to Choose?
Choosing between a Jackery Solar Generator and a Jackery Portable Power Station depends upon various factors, such as usability, the number of appliances you want to charge, whether you wish to charge for indoor purposes or outdoors, how long the charging will take place, etc. In addition to these factors, the power station and solar generator's capacity, wattage, and size shall be considered when choosing the ideal size power station for your needs.
The Jackery Solar Generators combine Jackery SolarSaga Solar Panels and Jackery Portable Power Station. When placed outside or on a rooftop, the solar panels capture solar radiation during the daytime and transform it into electrical energy. This electrical energy is stored in the power station's battery, and the built-in inverter converts the direct current (DC) into alternating current (AC) to supply charge to the devices. The Jackery Solar Generator can be ideal for off-grid living and power supply during blackouts and power outages.
If you need a power supply for road trips, camping, van living, etc., the Jackery Portable Power Stations would be suitable. When you are around a location with a grid power supply, you can charge the portable power station using a wall outlet.
Conclusion
The Jackery Solar Generators and Jackery Portable Power Stations can charge a mini split for cooking and heating purposes. The solar generator or power station you choose should have the right size and capacity to charge the device. For example, a mini-split has a cooling range of 600W-1000W, so you can charge it using the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus, Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (4kWh), and Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (6kWh). For a mini split with a heating range of 5000W-6000W, you can prefer the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (6kWh) for charging it.
