Solar Generators

Jackery solar generators are solar solutions that combine portable power stations with solar panels. Using solar panels, our solar generators convert solar energy into electrical power, storing it in a portable power station for later use. Jackery solar generators provide clean and reliable power for campers, RVs, and anyone who needs backup energy during an emergency.

Output watts: what needs to run at once?

Watts (W) measure how much power a station can deliver at one time. Add the running wattage of the devices you expect to use together, then account for the higher startup demand of equipment such as refrigerators, pumps, and power tools.

For example, a 60W laptop and a 10W light require 70W while running together.

Watt-hours: how long should it run?

Watt-hours (Wh) measure stored energy. Estimate each device’s running watts multiplied by its hours of use, then add those results to compare your daily needs with available capacity. This is especially useful for recurring loads such as lights, a router, a TV, or monitoring equipment.

For example, a combined 70W load running for 5 hours uses 350Wh.

Place solar panels in direct sunlight to collect more energy.

Solar input: how will you recharge?

Solar panels can replenish stored energy during daylight. When comparing an off-grid solar generator, consider the station’s supported solar input, the total rating of the connected panels, available sun, and how much energy you expect to use between charging periods.

Choose a compatible panel setup that fits both your station and your typical recharge window.

YOUR DEVICES, YOUR DAILY ENERGY

Calculate Your Off-Grid Energy Needs

Add each appliance and its expected hours of use between charges. The calculator combines their energy use and simultaneous load.
Example: 60W × 5 hours plus 10W × 5 hours equals 350Wh. Use device-label or measured wattage, and enter 0.5 hours for 30 minutes. Add every essential device in your setup.

Data is based on lab test. The fully charged hours are based on the weather and other conditions

Why Plan for Extra Battery Capacity?

Choose more battery capacity than your estimated device use to account for power conversion, the station’s own energy needs, changing conditions, and time between solar recharges.

For appliances that cycle on and off, such as a refrigerator, use a full-day energy reading instead of multiplying the maximum wattage by 24 hours. Convert kilowatt-hours to watt-hours when comparing daily use with battery capacity: 1 kWh equals 1,000 Wh.

Off-Grid Solar Generator FAQs

  • How much does a solar generator cost?

    A bundle’s price covers the selected power station, panels and any included batteries or accessories. Changing the configuration on a product card updates its price and contents.

    Extra batteries, home transfer equipment and installation add to the budget when purchased separately.

  • What size solar generator do I need?

    You need enough watts for devices running together and enough watt-hours for their total use. A 60W laptop and a 10W light running for five hours use 70W together and 350Wh of energy.

    The battery needs additional energy for the station itself and power conversion. Fridges and pumps also draw a brief burst of power when starting. Calculate your device energy.

  • How do I build a solar generator?

    Our solar bundles pair a portable power station with solar panels, so the battery, inverter and controls are already built into the station. The panels recharge the battery, and the station’s outlets power your devices.

    A connection to home circuits adds compatible transfer equipment and installation.

  • How long does a solar generator last?

    There are two useful measures: hours of power on one charge, and battery life over repeated charges. More stored energy gives the same devices more running time; heavier loads use that energy sooner.

    Explorer 100 Plus is rated for 2,000 cycles to 80% capacity, and Explorer 1500 Ultra for over 4,000 cycles to 70%. Those percentages describe the storage remaining after repeated use; the battery continues working beyond that point.

  • How does a solar generator work?

    Solar panels turn sunlight into electricity, the power station stores it in a battery, and its outlets deliver it to your devices. Stored energy is available after sunset as well as during the day. See how the three parts work together.

  • Can a solar generator run a refrigerator?

    Yes, with a station that can handle the compressor’s starting power and store enough energy for the backup time you need.

    For example, a refrigerator measured at 1kWh per day uses 1,000Wh over 24 hours. That daily reading includes the compressor’s on-and-off cycles. A full day of backup needs additional battery energy for the power station itself and conversion losses.

  • Is it worth purchasing a solar generator?

    A solar generator is useful for keeping essential devices powered during outages, taking electricity camping and recharging away from wall outlets. The same station can move between home and a trip, with panels providing a reusable daytime charging source.

    For frequent use over several days, extra battery storage carries more energy between charges, while additional compatible panels can collect more daylight energy.

  • What size solar generator do I need to run a house?

    The size comes from the appliances or circuits you want to power and the length of the outage. HomePower 3600 Plus provides 3,584Wh of base storage and 3,600W output. 5000 Plus provides 5,040Wh and up to 7,200W through its 120V/240V outlet.

    Extra batteries add backup time. A home circuit connection also includes compatible transfer equipment and installation. Explore home backup systems.

  • Do Jackery solar generators support pass-through charging?

    Yes. You can charge the station while it powers connected devices. If those devices use more power than the charger or panels supply, the battery provides the difference and its charge level falls.

  • How is a solar generator different from a gas generator?

    A solar generator stores electricity in a rechargeable battery; a gas generator burns fuel to produce electricity. Compare charging, placement, sound and upkeep.
