Jackery Solar Panel Connector

I love my Jackery 1000 Plus solar generator. It is robust, reliable and lasts a long time. I use it to power a camping fridge/freezer, lights and to charge my phones and other electronics. Without charging, it easily lasted 3 to 4 days.

On the down side, the two 100 W solar panels that came bundled with it were a bit of a disappointment. They had to be in clear, direct and unobstructed sunlight to even begin working. A shadow of a twig across the corner of the panel dropped the output by more than 50%. To maintain full charge on my generator, I had to constantly move them. By contrast, I have another brand solar panel that works well irrespective of the sun angle or a small shadow (these do impact, but not as markedly as the Jackery panels). On the plus side, the panels are robust, light and easy to carry, transport and pack.

The other minor disappointment is that the Jackery 300 bundled with this purchase requires a usb C input to support solar recharging. I had to buy this separately. This should be part of the supply package for the generator.

Overall, I am happy with what I got.

I misunderstood the function of the Solar Panel Connector. I was intending to use it at the far end of a single extension Cable. It is only useful at the Jackery battery end, requiring extension cables for each solar collector. But I love my Jackery 2000 Plus to power our off grid cabin in Wisconsin's Driftless Area. Very Happy with Jackery.

This device is solid and run about everything. I am able to charge the device using several different methods, including the 200w panels.

This cable is needed if you want to connect two panels at once. They don't tell you this when you buy 2, just offer it.

Purchased on 7/17/24, got three separate deliveries with the generator being the last one to arrive on 8/6/24.
