SOLIX C1000 Portable Power Station, 1800W (Peak 2400W) Solar Generator, Full Charge in 58 Min, 1056wh LiFePO4 Battery for Home Backup, Power Outages, and Outdoor Camping (Optional Solar Panel)

First off, we've purchased 7 of the C1000s, 3 of the BP1000 expansion batteries and 4 of the C300. Secondly, we are not RVers or campers. We started with just 2 of the C1000s. We wanted something for backup on our refrigerator and freezer. The C 1000, by itself, will not run a regular size energy star refrigerator for a full day. It will run a TV for about 5 hours. We were surprised to find that most non energy star TVs pull 200 watts when on and about 50 watts when off. (Our 65" TV and 32" TV use nearly the same amount of energy) If you think you are going to quickly charge these power stations with 200 watts of solar panels, you will have to think again. Two 100 watt panels charge at a rate of 30 or 40 watts. To charge the C1000 takes around 25 or 30 hours of sunlight. To charge the C300, it takes about 10 to 12 hours of full sun. We use two 100 watt panels for the C300 because the total output is so low, and they are compatible with the C300. We found that the C300 will not keep my cPap running through the night. We've dedicated a C1000 for it. We purchased three battery expansion units and they make a big difference. The energy star refrigerator runs a full day. The TV runs 10 hours and since we keep the news on almost all day long, the expansion battery helps. We like these units so much that we've decided to run all of our major appliances from them as the main power source. At first, we thought we'd charge it from the wall outlet, AC, but the calculations show that it uses as much power as the appliance so there is no energy consumption savings. We can charge the unit via AC or solar panel as the power station provides power to our appliance. We've decided not to use the BP 1000 for our other freezer or even other refrigerator, we plan to use 2 C 1000 per major appliance. That way, when one runs out, we can safely disconnect it and reconnect the other C 1000. It affords us the ability to continue to power our appliance while the depleted C1000 is charged. Currently, we have the C1000 connected to 3 200 watt panels which supply about 200 watts total output. So it takes 5 hours of full sun to charge. Doing research, I've found that the absolutely best solar panel only generates about 25% of it's rating. Keep that in mind. Be mindful of the IP67 or IP65 rating of the panel you are going to purchase. An IP67 can be submersed in water for a short period of time, so I think it is OK to be in a light rain for a period of time. In fact, it is rated for rain. An IP65 can take a splash of rain, we have a couple of IP65, because we didn't know, but we make sure they are used only when it is a bright, dry, sunny day. IP65 panels are less expensive. When shopping for a power station, be wary of the ones that say you can run your dryer for 30 hours, and they are showing small units. Do the calculations. P = I E which means that Power (in watts) = Current (in amps) TIMES Voltage (in volts). We need to run a sump pump 24/7, pumps are typically rated in AMPS. Our 1/6th hp sump pulls 4.4 amps so that means it needs between 506 and 528 watts PER HOUR. For us, that means we need a power station that will give us nearly 13 KW for a day. What that means, for us, is that we need a pretty huge system that can be charged by solar. It will take a lot of solar panels. Fortunately, we don't have to run the sump all the time so we can use the power station to run our furnace, washer, and dryer. If you are thinking of getting a P 300 for device charging. I've found that iPads pull about 10 watts and the charging cable makes a difference. My old cable won't even charge off the P 300. We had some issues with the app, but it is working fine right now. It is really nice to be able to monitor the unit's charging status and the discharge status. It is also nice to be able to shut off lights right from the app. That's my take on the Anker C1000, C300 and BP 1000. I like them, my husband likes them and we started with 2 and are up to 7. At 30 pounds, they are not too difficult, for my ancient husband to move around. We are both ancient and that should tell you that it is easy to set the app up because that is what I do. The blackouts in the Iberia area of Europe on April 28, 2025 should stand as a warning for all of us. It can happen. In any event, really consider Anker. We are now considering a couple of the F3800 because they can be charged with a GAS generator.

I purchased this power station and sent it to my mom in Cuba, and it has been perfect. It is reliable, easy to use, and provides excellent backup power when needed. The battery lasts a long time, charges quickly, and gives great peace of mind during power outages. The quality is outstanding, and I am very happy with this purchase. Highly recommended!

Update: Returned home after a 30 day trip back in May 2024, traveling from NC to upstate NY in our northstar SC 650,. We used this the Solix C1000 with the expansion battery everyday. Although It won't power our rooftop AC, it powered everything else. Came in super handy during quiet hours when we wanted to use our microwave, or keurig coffee maker and so on. We do carry a generator on board so at the end of everyday around 4-6 pm, we would start our generator and backcharge our entire system. Our onboard solar system would charge our "house battery" but the generator would top off the anker system in about 1-1.5 hours depending on how much power was drawn off the system. We keep the system in our camper and backpower through the shore power hookup. It worked flawlessly for the entire trip. It's pretty handy given the weight, I put the main system where we want it and then stack the auxiliary battery and hook them together with the provided cord. No regrets on this purchase to date. The C1000 and BP 1000 work well for our specific needs and physically handling the system wrt weight is just right! Hope this update helps someone out who is looking for a similar system for a similar application. After purchasing the solix C1000 and then partnering it with the BP1000, I have doubled the output watts I desire to power my northstar sc650 truck camper over a longer offgrid experience. Although I've not tested it on a multi day trip yet, but testing over several hours and running the things I normally would on shore power, I am extremely happy with what it can now power over extended periods of time. Literally running multiple items from our microwave, furnace, hot water heater, and more, when plugged into the surge pad socket with a 15 amp cord I am essentially running everything I need when I need it. The BP1000 discharges first and then will consume power from the C1000 and Vice-versa when charging the system back up. I believe that the system is setup this way so that the user will always have control over power charging and discharging The system does not have a pass through charge function but rather works like a UPS system in the sense that when plugged into shore power and backcharging, if power is needed to run something, the system will stop charging and immediately switch into ups mode and power what you need in the moment. Our plan is to use this system in campgrounds during quiet hours when gas generators cannot be used. Based on our particular wants & needs, I Would highly recommend. I wanted something small but that packed a high watt output when I need it. So far, so good. Boondocking in my northstar truck camper I am able to backpower the entire camper with the Solix C1000 for about a 24 hour period. This depends of course on what I am running. Occasional microwave oven use, my fridge on propane setting, lights, water pump, even the hot water heater and hot air furnace, again, limited high use items. Only used so far on 2 overnight trips. Next morning I use an 1800-2200 watt generator to power the anker back to full from about 15% only drawing a set watt charge of about 750. The generators rpm only increase a little bit and the anker is charged in about 1 hour and 30 minutes. I could increase my charge watts to 1000 and be done inside of 50 minutes or less but I want to break the unit in several charge cycles first and I like running my generator on eco mode. The anker is not heavy at only 28 lbs and I can set it up on my campers kitchen counter or just about anyplace else inside my rig. I bought it for $650 from amazon, anker Direct, and it shipped to my house in under 5 days and came in just under $700 total, a great buy in my opinion. I am looking to eventually buy the expansion battery to give more power in depth but am in no rush at this point. I am 100% satisfied with this small yet powerful unit. It definitely lives up to what it says it can do, also, the app is simply incredible. Great job to the folks at anker. Highly recommended, just do your homework on what you plan to use it for. I've been a goal zero fan for years but it's the older led acid yeti 400 and 1250 units. Great products and they still work great, I also have the ego nexus system and run 7.5 amp batteries on it, again, great units all around but this anker system takes the cake. Size, weight, power output, and charge times is what sold me!! Happy shopping.

Absolutely amazing item. Got the solar-peer bug and found myself buying this on a fluke. Mother image it, I can’t recommend this one enough! Got the 1kw Gen-1 C1000 (has light strip in top) bc I find it slightly better than the newer version. But either would be great. It’s simply a champ! The portability, ease of charging, various inputs, reliability: it’s been a lifesaver during power outages. I paired it with the Remogy 200 watt solar panel and two work perfectly together. I encourage everyone get one of those. Its powers everything from my 1800watt microwave, snow blower, tv, refrigerator, Vitamix blender, virtually everything! I wish I had gotten it years ago. It’s elevated my camping trips as well. I would recommend the c2000 or f2000 if you can budget for it. Beats a gas-powered generator any day of the week for my purposes.

I bought my Anker SOLIX power station to have a reliable backup against power outages and for my camping getaways, and it has exceeded my expectations! 👍 What I liked the most: 🔋 Long Life Battery (LiFePO4): The peace of mind of knowing that it has a super safe and durable battery chemistry, with thousands of life cycles. Anker offers an excellent guarantee, which gives a lot of confidence! 🚀 Ultra Fast Charging: It is incredibly fast to charge the station. Recharging from the wall is very fast (often less than an hour for a large percentage!), which is crucial before a trip or an emergency. 🔌 Power and Versatility: The number of ports (multiple AC outputs, high-power USB-C, USB-A and car output) is perfect. I was able to connect appliances, power tools and charge all my gadgets without problems. Its ability to handle power peaks (with SurgePad technology) is excellent. 📱 Smart Control: Anker's app is fantastic. It allows you to monitor consumption in real time, see the remaining charging time and control station settings remotely. 💡 Built-in LED Light: The LED light bar is super useful and has the perfect warm tone for camping or as an emergency light, without being too bright or annoying. 👎 Aspects to consider: Fan (in heavy use): When used at maximum power or during fast charging, the cooling fan can be a little noisy. It's a small price to pay for so much power. Weight: Although it is portable for its capacity, it is a sturdy unit, so transport may require some effort (but its handles are very sturdy!). ✅ Conclusion: If you're looking for a high-quality power station that offers you performance, safety, and incredibly fast charging, look no further. The Anker SOLIX is a premium equipment that is worth every penny. I recommend it 100% for anyone who needs reliable energy at home or outdoors.

Battery great, could use a few minor features. Good battery, charges efficiently, good sized inverter, switches over after power loss fast, bluetooth and wifi connectivity to app, all the basics are good. To be 5 stars I'd have liked: bug fixed in wifi connectivity, it can lose connection and require restart, wierd. It has a nice light on front, with variable brightness from app, very useful, but its either on all the time or off... you cannot set it to turn on when unplugged (powerloss). Its more for camping I guess, not for power-loss but that simple feature would help be useful for both. It maintains wifi connectivity during home power loss (assuming your wifi is on battery which mine is) so I can communicate with it from app, but it doesnt have any notification preferences. I'd like an app push when unplugged / powerloss, and when battery at 50%, 25%, 5%. I dont want these all the time, so notifications on or off for each, and for battery level set up to 3 levels I want to be alerted at perhaps. As well as when plugged back in (power restored).

Product Review I am very satisfied with this portable power station. It is easy to use, compact, and very reliable. The battery lasts a long time and charges my devices quickly, which makes it perfect for camping, outdoor activities, or emergency situations. The design is sturdy and well-made, and the display clearly shows the battery level and power usage. Overall, this is a high-quality product that works exactly as expected, and I would definitely recommend it.

I liked it so much I got the add on battery pack. Fans can get a little loud in it. Ive tested up to the peak 2400w and it handles it like a champ. Anker makes legit phone battery chargers and moble battery packs. So I trusted them to do a great job at this. Its pretty good.

After seeing many good reviews for the Power Station, I decided to purchase one for my camping trips. I am glad I did. I have another Portable Power Station from Conpex with similar "Specs", but, oh boy, the difference is huge! In combination with my 400W Solar panels, this thing basically never runs out of power when I use it with my electrical camping gear. Although I never had to use it for this purpose, I also think that should there ever be a power outage the Solix C1000 will be a good addition to my household to keep essential appliances running. AAA+++

Good power supply. A bit heavy but I can move it around easy. Not complicated to use, holds the charge well. I use it in my craft room for my radio, lamps, laptop and wifi extender. The only thing that drains it really quickly is my tiny 500w heater! Also useful as we live in an area that can get power cuts as it easily powers a small tv

I have not charged it with the solar panels as yet, but it does charge quickly by plugging into the grid. It has been a life saver this winter with the two outages that I have had. I have a lot of dash products on hand, and it works well with those. I also received a rice cooker for Christmas and it only needs 300W of power to use, it takes little time and usage from the Anker SOLIX to make or reheat a meal. I'm so happy I bought this product. One of the outages lasted 19 hours in frigid temps and I was even able to use a heater without depleting.

Voila 1 an que nous utilisons cette batterie principalement pour du car camping et alimenter un réfrigérateur BougeRV Aspen ainsi que la charge de tous les équipements électroniques. Lors du premier essai, il a été branché a la prise voiture et le Aspen. Nous avons eu la surprise que la batterie s'est arrêtés dans la nuit. Heureusement qu'il ne faisait pas trop chaud et le réfrigérateur était toujours froid au matin. Plus tard ce problème a été corrigé avec une mise a jour du firmware. Il me permet d'alimenter le réfrigérateur de camping pendant 3 jours (en plus de charger d'autres appareils type cellulaire) si la température extérieure n'est pas trop chaude. Au dessus de 25 degrés C, cela peut descendre a 48 heures. L'appareil est costaud même si un peu lourd mais les 2 poignées sont vraiment pratique a l'usage. Point que j'ai aimé c'est sa recharge, en une heure maximum, la batterie peut être rechargé complétement. L'écran est très lisible. L'application sur cellulaire est pratique aussi pour voir l'état de la batterie. Il faut parfois lui forcer la main pour reconnecter l'appareil dans l'application surtout en l'absence de Wifi. La disposition des prises est très bonne et je n'ai pas rencontré de problème de place avec certains cables de charge. J'ai par la suite et grâce a de belles promotions, acheté des panneaux solaires ainsi que l'extension de batterie mais a ce jour je n'ai pas encore pu les utiliser. La seul chose que je n'aime pas avec l'extension de batterie c'est le cable de liaison qui va vers le C1000 qui est rigide et trop encombrant. Un cable plus souple aurait été apprécié. Au global, très bon appareil et qui peut servir aussi en cas de panne électrique a la maison. C'est toujours satisfaisant d'avoir de la lumière, internet ou pour garder en vie un plus gros réfrigérateur le temps que la panne soit résolue. C'est un produit hautement recommandé
