Anker Solar Generators

If you put an anker solar generator next to anything else on the market, there is a world of difference in quality. Materials used, software and everything else is a step above the rest. The competitors products feel like cheap toys and they always have issues. If you want something that “just works”, buy an anker. They are also the most quiet and efficient models on the market because they use gallium nitride transistors. I use these to power lights in my video studio and they are so quiet that they are the only option that I have. Once you get an anker, you will be set.

Anker SOLIX Generators

These are some of my favorite solar generators. Anker makes reliable, easy-to-use power stations with fast charging and great battery capacity.

Anker SOLIX C1000

Compact, fast-charging power for everyday home use, camping, and smaller backup needs.

Anker SOLIX C2000

More capacity and output for RVs, vans, workshops, and bigger off-grid setups.

Anker SOLIX S2000

A larger battery and serious output for keeping essential home devices running when the grid goes down.

Anker SOLIX F3800

Now these things are HUGE! Extremely large and can back up your house or a critical loads panel. The big downside with this system is the PV input is very small! Most inverters on the market today can handle 5,000-12,000W of solar, but this unit can only handle 2,400W. The inverter output is fantastic though and it doesn work really well, but I would not use this as a stand alone solar power system. For battery emergency battery back up or a small array of a few panels, this is fantastic. PlugNplay and you can build the system in a few minutes.

Even a single F3800 can charge an EV! Each one can output 120/240V and it has a NEMA1 14-50 port on the side, so you can plug in an EV charger in seconds.

Anker SOLIX F3800

Huge capacity for serious home backup, RVs, and high-demand power needs. Designed for large loads and flexible off-grid setups.

Anker SOLIX F2600

This thing is a total beast! It can easily run a RV, van, cabin or disaster relief backup supply. The wheels and handle make it extremely convenient. Their other models can be huge! I like this size a lot. 

Anker SOLIX F2600

Huge power output for RVs, vans, cabins, and emergency backup.
A great choice when you need serious capacity without stepping up to a full home battery system.
