Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 accepts up to 600W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 2.3 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A humidifier uses about 320Wh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- Ultrasonic humidifiers use 25–50W; warm-mist models use far more (200W+).
- You’ll still have about 1960W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
