Baking Potatoes Powering an RV With Jackery’s Biggest Solar Generator Kit
We’ve reviewed a number of power stations and solar generator kits here at CleanTechnica, including most of what Jackery offers. Previously, I’ve reviewed kits as small as the Explorer 300, charged by a single 60-watt panel, and kits as large as the Explorer 1500, with 400 watts of panels. But, if you’re doing professional work, want to provide power to power-hungry appliances, or just have a fancy “glamping” setup with all of the comforts of home, even the Explorer 1500 will start to show its limits.
But it turns out that I hadn’t seen the biggest the company had to offer. Recently, Jackery sent me an Explorer 2000 Pro, their biggest power station, and six of their larger SolarSaga 200 watt solar panels.
Specifications Features
Before I get to the solar panels, let’s talk about the hulk of a power station they sent over. It’s got a massive 2,160 watt-hours of storage. If you’re into EVs and are familiar with kilowatt-hours (kWh), that’s about 2.2 kWh. You wouldn’t be able to drive very far on that energy, but this is a LOT of battery storage for something with a handle that you can carry around and put in the back of a car for a camping trip, or in the back of a truck to go do work.
This power station could run a microwave oven for well over an hour (something you’d never really do), or run power tools of all kinds almost all day (if you’re using them for a few seconds at a time like most jobsites require). Really, with 2200 watts max steady output and 4400 watts peak output, you can power just about anything that doesn’t require a 240-volt plug.
Like other Jackery power stations, it has a variety of plugs. There are three 120-volt US wall plugs, several USB-C plugs, a USB-A plug, a 12-volt 10-amp cigarette lighter plug, and a light to see what you’re doing with these plugs in the dark. On the back, there are two DC-power inputs for the solar panels or car charger, and a plug like you’d find on the power supply of most desktop computers.
One particularly nice thing about this station is how fast it can charge on AC power, but it’s something you have to be careful with. It can pull up to 15 amps from a wall plug, charging up in around 2 hours. But, if you plug it in on a household circuit that’s already powering other things, you could pop a breaker. So, plan accordingly.
One big (and I do mean BIG) downside is how big and heavy the unit is. It weighs over 40 pounds. So, if you want something lighter, go with another Jackery unit. But, size-wise, it’s not that bad compared to the smaller Explorer 1500. That’s because it has a flat top and a folding handle instead of the signature Jackery top handle. This makes it a lot easier to fit in a closet or car and put other things on top of it.
1200 Watts of Solar Power
My brother’s Jackery Explorer 1000 and 200 watts of panels, with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Pro and 1200 watts of panels in the background.
The Explorer 200 Pro can come with or without solar panels, and you can get 2, 4, or 6-panel bundles. For my testing, Jackery sent me 6 panels and three-way splitters to get them all plugged into the power station.
In theory, and in ideal conditions, this would give you 1200 watts of charging power, but in the real world you always get less than the ideal rating. I figured I’d get 800-900 watts of power out of the setup, but the efficiency of the panels surprised me. When I plugged one in, I got 175 watts (I was expecting around 150 watts). When I got all six plugged in, the unit gave me over 900 watts. When I aimed them carefully and tried to make sure there were no shadows casting over any part of them, I got over 1,000 watts.
There’s one downside to having this many panels, though. Setup and takedown can be a little tedious. You’ve got to unzip, unfold, plug in, and position six panels. When you go to leave someplace, you’ve got to do it all over again. So, as it was with the weight of the power station, if you don’t need 800-1000 watts of power, you’d probably be better off to go with something smaller and easier to set up.
Putting The Unit To The Test Baking Potatoes
If there’s one thing that’s been ruled by fossil fuels off grid over the years, it has been cooking. For lighting, we don’t need lanterns like we used to, as LED bulbs make campsite lighting far easier on batteries. Even a modest solar panel and battery can give you light all night every night. Cooking takes a lot of energy, but you can generally get away with using an efficient induction cooktop or griddle with a smaller power station and 400 watts of power.
But, I wanted to see if I could get away with cooking baked potatoes. With my toaster oven, that means 1,250 watts for over an hour, which would kill most power stations before the potatoes are ready to eat.
The Jackery 2000 Pro with 1,000 watts of power charging the battery? Not a problem at all. Not only were there some sporadic storm clouds passing through, but the sun set into the trees about half way through cooking the meal. There was more than enough spare battery capacity to keep the cooking going for almost an hour and a half. The result? Baked potatoes far off grid in the forest with no fossil fuel use.
When I was done with that, I plugged a family member’s RV in for a few minutes. We topped off their camper batteries and they cooked a side dish with their microwave. We were even able to run the air conditioner for a few minutes.
There Are Few Things You Couldn’t Do With This
For just about anything that plugs into a wall outlet, the Explorer 2000 Pro gives you plenty of power. The little oven is an extreme example, and most things you’d want power for at a glamp-site just wouldn’t put that kind of demand on the system. For things that use far less power, the 2000 Pro can store days’ worth of power to help you get through cloudy days.
I don’t like paywalls. You don’t like paywalls. Who likes paywalls? Here at CleanTechnica, we implemented a limited paywall for a while, but it always felt wrong — and it was always tough to decide what we should put behind there. In theory, your most exclusive and best content goes behind a paywall. But then fewer people read it! We just don’t like paywalls, and so we’ve decided to ditch ours.

Introduction top
The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 has enough power to run my entire office and editing suite, or my studio strobes and related gear for use in the field or studio, and enough battery capacity to run any of this about all day.
A power station is a big power bank. It’s a big battery with inverters to provide whatever sort of power you’d like. You can use whichever outputs you like at the same time; each section has its own switch.
You charge through either the 7.9 × 0.9mm circular or Anderson DC inputs on the left (only one at a time) with the included AC-to-DC adapter, the included 12V DC car charging cord or optional solar panels (two included with the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 set).
Charge this power station with a solar panel and the combination is called a solar generator. It’s much bigger than a power bank, and it’s still much more portable than any gasoline generator.
Unlike a gasoline generator, it’s completely silent and safe to use indoors. It’s just a battery.
The solar panels charge it in several hours. It’s just as fast as plugging it in the wall, and solar power is free.
You don’t want to leave your valuables sitting outside to charge directly from a solar panel, so charge this by day and then charge and run everything later from the power station.
You can use this while it’s charging. You might want extension cord(s) if you want to work away from the solar panel, or get more than one power station and run from one while the other is charging.
You can charge at school, in your car or office during the day and then use the power at home at night.
Charge in the hotel or your RV each night and run everything from it on location all day, or just keep it charged at home for emergency power. Charge from solar or OPP (other people’s power) and your power is free!
For my light-duty uses, running my MacBook Pro and charging my cameras, iPhones and iPads, a couple of hours of charge provides for days of heavy use, so I can charge whenever I like and run from the power station most of the time.
Its battery is big enough (1 KWh or 270,000 mAh in power bank terms) that I have clocked that it can charge and run my MacBook Pro for about 48 hours of hard all-day Photoshop and web development use with numerous card readers and peripheral drives! That’s a week or more of full-time heavy professional use, or weeks of more of rational use like just web browsing. With casual use of just my MacBook Pro as shown here it ought to run about 90 hours just from the Explorer 1000:
Jackery Explorer 1000 running my MacBook Pro with Magic Mouse. (Nikon Z9 and Audeze LCD-1 on ride-along today.) bigger.
MacBook Pros usually have plenty of juice to run all day, however an advantage to this power station is I can run fast and hard without worrying about screen brightness, processor loads or even bothering to check any battery gauges.
My Explorer 1000 easily drives my complete desktop system with a 55 4K monitor, numerous external HDDs and SSDs and optical drives and a full complement of class A and class AB professional audio monitors and biamplified powered subwoofers, DACs and crossovers. It runs all this for about 4~5 hours from its AC outputs. Of course my power-hungry pro audio system uses much of the power, as does my huge 55 monitor; the computer and drives use a small fraction.
This Explorer 1000 is perfectly happy driving my big, fat American-made 500 watt-second Novatron studio strobe power pack both in my studio and in the field, complete with its modeling lights. The Explorer 1000’s fan blows a bit after each shot because of the spike of power drawn by the strobe’s power pack after each shot.
My Explorer 1000 easily runs all the Luxli LED lights in my video studio (two Timpani and one Cello), as well as my TASCAM DR100 Mk II audio recorder and phantom-powered microphones. With the Timpani at 67% and the Cello at 35%, everything draws only 125W total. Be careful; the Explorer 1000’s internal fan may turn on if needed after a while, so keep it away from your microphones.
I love using this because it has every kind of power I need. I just grab-and-go to power or charge anything without having to find the right charger and then finding a wall outlet and/or extension cord.
It has a huge battery. It probably can run a month just charging mobile devices so I only might only have to charge the Explorer 1000 once a month, or whenever it or free power are convenient.
Good intro top
Solid, reliable and well-regulated power at all loads in a compact package.
It runs calmly and never does anything screwy when overloaded, connected or disconnected. It’s a mature design with no surprises.
While only rated 1 KW (1,000 W) continuous, it is surge rated to 2 KW (2,000 W) and can drive overloads for various amounts of time without a problem.
While it won’t drive an electric heater or hair dryer very long at a full 1.5 KW (1,500 W) setting, set a hair dryer to medium heat and it should be fine. Of course there isn’t much battery life at full load (less than an hour), but you can do it. at Usage.
Charges quickly from SolarSaga 100W solar panels or other sources.
Charges from just about anything from 12 to 30 V DC: one or more solar panels, the included AC-to-DC adapter, the included 12V DC car cord, or any other DC source like my 12V DC hard drive power supply, so long as you have a 7.9 × 0.9mm plug on the end. at Charging.
Outputs work fine while charging. Depending on charge and load levels you may either wind up with net charging or net discharging.
Has a basic flashlight on the left side, which ought to run for a month on a charge.
The LCD panel is always active while charging or operating, but the backlight always times-out after 15 seconds so you need to be in decent light to read it.
Very efficient converters and inverters. The DC or AC inverters each only draw an indicated watt or two at idle.
Idle power draw is so low that leaving any of the outputs active for extended periods won’t waste any significant amount of power.
Nice, big, fat rubbery orange feet for use indoors or on granite boulders.
Display backlight blinks ten times when you hit 20% on discharge to warn you, as well at at 10%.
Bad intro top
Nothing other than not being free. Works great.
Missing intro top
No time-till-empty or time-till-charged indicators.
Like all power stations, doesn’t really work as an uninterruptible power supply because the maximum charge rate is much less than the maximum power output. at my User’s Guide.
The display LCD is always active while charging or operating, but the backlight times-out 15 seconds after each button-push. There is no way to keep the backlight on continuously.
It reads power-in and power-out separately, so if you’re using and charging at the same time it doesn’t show net battery charge or drain; you’d have to do the math yourself.
Not waterproof.
No case included (does include a case for the charge cords).
No storage compartment for small accessories, adapters or plugs.
Jackery’s Solar Generator 1000 Pro uses batteries and sunlight to power almost anything
As a lover of the great outdoors, I enjoy stepping out of the house and touching grass. At the same time, I prefer staying connected with my electronics, playing with my battery-powered toys, and using other electric gadgets while I’m out there, and I can think of no better way to accomplish all that than with a Solar Generator by Jackery.
When you think of a generator, gas-powered units probably come to mind. But these days, we can harness energy from the Sun to such great extents that it can power our lives, and the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro uses this innovation by packing it into a portable powerhouse that you can take with you and use almost anywhere you go, even while trekking the great outdoors.
Packed with a massive 1,002 watt-hour battery unit, the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro doesn’t mess around. This behemoth can power a 100-watt projector for around eight hours or a 900-watt power tool for around two hours. If you’re using it as a power bank, then you can recharge your MacBook almost 120 times or your iPhone almost 130 times.
If you need even more power, then this is where the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro’s solar generation function comes in handy. You can ultimately choose which solar panels you wish to pair with it depending on your power needs and what you want to spend, and I opted for the 160 watt (2x 80 watt) solar panel bundle. This feeds a continuous power supply to the unit whenever it’s sunny and keeps your stuff powered all day.
I/O offers limitless possibilities
The first thing you see when glancing at the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro are the three tri-pronged AC power outlets. You’ll also notice an automotive style DC power outlet, two USB-A Quick Charge 3.0-capable ports, and two USB-C Power Delivery-capable ports. An on-demand high-power LED also stands out so you can see what you’re doing when you plug things in, and the built-in display shows live power consumption stats.
I really like the display because it shows how much power (in watts) that the Jackery unit takes in and pumps out simultaneously. It also displays how much power remains in the unit as a percentage, much like the icon at the top-right of your iPhone’s Status Bar. That’s user-friendliness if I ever did see it.
In case you were wondering, the specs for the ports on the front of the unit are as follows:
- AC Output: 3x 120V, 60Hz, 8.33A Max, 1000W (2000W peak)
- USB-A Output: 2x Quick Charge 3.0, 18W Max 5-6V⎓3A,6-9V⎓2A,9-12V⎓5A
- USB-C Output: 2x 100W Max 5V⎓3A, 9V⎓3A, 12V⎓3A, 15V⎓3A, 20V⎓5A
- Car/DC Output: 12V-17.5V⎓8A
On the back of the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro are two DC input jacks for connecting solar panels that can charge the unit from empty to 80% in as little as 7 hours and one AC input jack that can charge the unit from empty to full in as little as 1.8 hours. If you choose to charge the unit with your car’s DC outlet, you can accomplish that in as little as 4.4 hours.
You may have also noticed that many of these ports are covered by rubber boots, which can protect them from the elements. While the USB ports and three-pronged power outlets aren’t covered, you can buy inexpensive third-party covers that get the job done and will universally work with your other devices as well.
Solar power on Sunny days
The massive battery pack that the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro behaves like is nothing to scoff at, but if you really want to stay off the grid for extended periods of time, then you can connect solar panels. Third-party solar panels are a dime-a-dozen on Amazon, however the SolarSaga panels that Jackery offers for its units are by far the most efficient and well-built.
Here, we have two of the 80-watt SolarSaga panels that can provide a constant 160-watt power source when placed at an optimal 40-60º angle in direct sunlight. These panels come in a reflective case that directs more of the Sun’s rays at the panel instead of the ground, and it doubles as a stow away case for storage. A metal prop keeps the panel aimed at just the right angle when the Sun is out.
You’ll also notice that the corners of the SolarSaga panels are well-padded. They feel like they can handle a significant drop without any significant damage – not that you’ll be dropping them very much thanks to the beefy folding carry handles.
Jackery says that the SolarSaga panels come with IP68 water and dust resistance and carry a 25% power efficiency. Each one takes less than 60 seconds to set up and use.
Several use cases
The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro is capable of many demanding tasks. I typically use mine so that I can have a fun day outside without raising my electric bill. I’ve so far used it to power my XGIMI Horizon Pro projector and Nintendo Switch to play outdoors on cool nights, to charge my Ninebot MAX electric scooter for rides, and to power a mini fridge to keep the beers cold while I conduct outdoor projects.
While the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro is ideal for camping/glamping when you know you won’t have much access to power, it also excels as a mobile power source for where your extension cords won’t reach and as backup power in natural disaster emergencies. I’m vividly familiar with the latter here in Florida where we see hurricanes regularly and lose power as a result.
If you spend any time doing any sort of handywork, you can easily throw this unit and the solar panels into a truck bed and work right out of it. For what it is, it’s very portable and weighs much less than a traditional gas-powered generator. Everything folds up into a conveniently movable package when not in use, which makes both storage and transport a sinch.
Design
Jackery knows its products will be used outdoors and for demanding tasks, so the company built the Solar Generator 1000 Pro with durability in mind. The unit itself is drop proof and the handle’s beefiness are a testament to that. The solar panels even have a high durability feel to them that will make you feel confident when you sprawl them out on the lawn.
The cables that come supplied by Jackery for the Solar Generator 1000 Pro and the SolarSaga solar panels are made with thick gauge wire, so it doesn’t seem possible to wear them out quickly or to shear them without intentionally grabbing a pair of wire-cutters to snip them.
Weighing in at almost 30 pounds, the Solar Generator 1000 Pro is on the heavier side compared to portable battery packs, but none of those will even come close to what this machine is capable of. In case you were wondering, the solar panels weigh around 10 pounds each.
The built-in LED light is a very thoughtful feature, and with the 1,002-watt capacity, it will never really have an opportunity to run down your battery. It’s useful for seeing in the dark or for lighting your way when you try to plug things in.
Final Thoughts
A device like the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro is perfect for time outdoors with the family where you believe you might need to power small electric devices and when you don’t expect you’ll have any kind of power supply. You don’t really need to worry about depleting the batteries inside of the unit because of the ability to connect solar panels.
I’ll discuss some of the positive and negative things I experienced while using the Jackery Solar Power Generator 1000 Pro below:
- Many different outlets and ports to power different types of items
- Massive 1,002-watt battery capacity laughs off most tasks and charges quickly
- Support for solar power charging means you never run out of power
- Intuitive display gives you a real-time readout of what the unit is going
- Button controls can turn different sections of the I/O on or off on demand
- Rugged and reliable design that won’t fail you when you need it most
- Highly portable and easy to store when not being used
- The unit and the solar panels are costly compared to some smaller brands
- Stores power for only one year before needing to be re-charged again
- Could offer more USB ports
Getting a Jackery Solar Generator
The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro can be had on its own from Amazon for 1,100, while the SolarSaga solar panels are 250 apiece. If you desire a solar panel bundle package, then the 160-watt bundle option I have in this review clocks in at 1,600, while a beastly 800-watt option comes in at an eye-watering 4,000. Keep an eye out for coupons too, as Jackery likes to offer discounts here and there.
For most people, the unit itself will be enough. The solar power comes in handy when you put heavier loads on the unit and want to keep it charged for extended periods. The smaller 160-watt solar power works for smaller devices and toys, but if you plan to use power tools or anything significant with your unit then you should probably up the ante and get the 800-watt option to make sure it keeps up without discharging too quickly.
If a battery pack with USB ports just doesn’t cut it for you, then the Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Pro will. I and some friends of mine enjoy using ours, and we’re equally confident in the product’s ability to perform. The sheer amount of power it packs, and what you can do with that power, are some of the most exciting features.
New Solar Generator Takes Portable Power To The Next Level

Go Off-Grid Longer, Easier with New Jackery Solar Generator
In a review of the Jackery Explorer 1000, we noted how powerful this easy-to-use portable power station was. In another piece, we discussed 9 benefits of a Jackery portable power station. That was with the Explorer 1000.
Now, big brother is home and he wants you to know it. We got our hands on the Jackery Solar Generator 1500, boasting a full 1800 watts of power with a surge wattage of 3600 watts.
Unboxing the Jackery 1500
Unboxing the Jackery 1500 is almost Apple-esque. Foam padding surrounding the orange and black 33 lb solar generator is stout and precision cut. Solar panel Y-adapters are neatly boxed in attractive, branded boxes. There’s no impossible-to-remove shrink wrapping here. The power adapter and cables are neatly enclosed in the included neoprene zipper pack.
The 100-watt SolarSaga Solar panels are individually boxed. Here again, you won’t have any frustrating shrink wrap to cut through. The sturdy panels charge the solar generator. And also provide power in their own right. It features a standard USB-A jack and USB-C port to power or charge devices. You can charge directly from the panel itself.
Each SolarSaga panel can charge two devices and feed power to the solar generator – Photo: Jackery
What does 1500 watts of power mean?
What does 1500 watts of power mean to the average camper? Say you are powering a portable, powered cooler. They use about 60 watts of power. This is the same as a typical mini-fridge. You can run that cooler for 21 hours on a single charge of the Jackery Solar Generator 1500.
A 32-inch TV is not much more than that at roughly 70 watts. You can certainly count on reserve power to watch the big game if you need to. Often it’s the spike in power that can really kill the house batteries when dry camping or boondocking. You can save on those spikes. Power devices like coffee makers, toasters, blenders, and microwave, with the Solar Generator 1500.
This means you can start your day with coffee and a great breakfast before you head out. With that much power to spare, you’ll have plenty of reserve. Charge your phone, portable GPS, flashlight, and other goodies. For bigger adventures, just load the Jackery onto your ATV. Hit the trails, take all of that portable power with you.
How do you charge the solar generator?
What if you opt to leave your solar generator back at camp? You can charge it with the shore power provided by the campground. It’s done through the A/C or D/C adapter. Or by using the efficient SolarSaga solar panels. The Jackery 1500 will take up to four panels. Each will get you from 0 to 80% charged in just 4 hours.
Each SolarSaga 100-watt panel folds open to maximize exposure to the sun. On the back side, you’ll find those USB ports. The charging cable, and a unique and simple kickstand arrangement allows you to tilt those panels toward the sun. Panels close back up again to less than 1.5-inch thickness. The Smart magnetic handle system makes storage a breeze.
The 1500 features an easy-to-read display – Photo: Jackery
It’s all about the power
At the end of the day, it’s still about the power. The updated display on the Solar Generator 1500 is now in color, and easy to read. A simple touch of the Display button shows you everything. Input wattage, Output wattage, and battery life.
In seconds you can easily determine how much power is coming in through the solar panels. With other inputs, you can how much power is being used by your connected devices. It’s easy to see how much battery power is left. The Tesla-controlled lithium-ion batteries are designed to last 8 years.
Explorer 1500 is equipped with 3 – AC Pure Sine Wave AC outlets. There’s 1 – PD 60W USB-C Port. 1 – Quick Charge USB 3.0 Port. And 1 – USB-A Port. Also, 1 – 12V car port. It will power up to 85% of your appliances. Including home devices, lights, power tools, microwaves, refrigerators, and other larger power demands. – Jackery website
Quality construction
The attention to detail we saw in the packaging is equally evident in the construction of the solar generator itself. There are no edges or knobs to get broken or snapped off. It’s sturdy, even as you move your Jackery 1500 in and out of your home, car, truck, boat, or RV. It has smooth attractive surfaces, and clear, concise labeling. The well-thought-out control positioning is evident. There is even a built-in light.
The rubber feet are large, deeply embedded, and sturdy. They won’t get knocked off the first time you drag or move the solar generator. There’s stainless steel, recessed, Allen head bolts. These attest to the thought and quality that went into construction. Jackery believes in their quality too. The Jackery company has a two-year warranty for the solar generator. That’s for the solar panels, too.
A Digital Nomad’s Dream
Part of the allure of the modern digital nomad movement is to get outside and get in nature. To do the often mundane task of daily work. Tallying spreadsheets is far more tolerable when sitting in a forest. Or working next to a stream or scenic overlook.
Dragging extension cords and power strips with you so you can enjoy that time is less tolerable. With the Jackery Solar Generator 1500, you have enough power and ports to plug in your needed devices. And that’s without having to drag along those power strips and extension cords.
Podcasters that typically have a laptop, phone, camera, microphone, and even a light (if doing video) will appreciate the condensed, easy-to-carry power without all the additional entanglements.
Stay off-grid longer in your camper van
For the vanlifer campervan crowd, the Jackery Solar Generator 1500 is a lifesaver. Whether you bought your Class B van fully loaded or it’s a DIY project of your own design, vans never seem to have all the power you need.
Enjoy a hot meal or even using your hairdryer after that natural shower under that cool waterfall. Stay off-the-grid longer with the solar generator and solar panels.

Break those late night generator rules!
So you’ve had a great day of trail hiking and beachcombing. The kids are asleep but a little popcorn and a movie would be a nice end to the day. Unfortunately, you don’t have enough power without running the gas or diesel generator, and it’s after generator hours.
The Jackery Solar Generator 1500 doesn’t make a sound and will provide you with plenty of power to cook that bag of popcorn, power your phone or jetpack for streaming, as well as the TV so you can enjoy that movie before doing it all again the next day.

The Solar Generator that’s not just for RVing and camping
The Jackery Solar Generator 1500 is a great resource to have on hand in the event of any type of power outage. Having emergency power for CPAP machines or other medical devices is critical. Keeping your phone charged to keep up with family and emergency notifications is no longer optional, and you need power to do that. A good solar generator could power a cell phone for days.
