How Much Can You Save on Electricity With Jackery 2000 Plus?

If your household regularly runs large appliances during peak electricity hours (usually between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m. in many US states), your energy costs can spike, especially if you're on a time-of-use rate plan. With the Solar Generator Jackery 2000 Plus, you can recharge the power station using free solar power during the day, then use that stored energy in the evening to run high-usage devices like your refrigerator, microwave, fan, or internet router.

Let's say you use 2kWh of electricity each evening during peak hours, and your utility charges $0.40 per kWh at that time. This calculates to $0.80 per day, or $24 per month, with only two hours of usage per day. Now, imagine offsetting that with the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus instead. Over the course of a year, you can save nearly $300 with light usage. If you expand the system or use it daily, your savings can increase.
