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.
Tips
- A typical laptop battery holds 50–70Wh. Charging over USB-C PD is more efficient than using the laptop's AC brick.
- Running it from the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2’s DC port instead of the AC outlet avoids inverter losses: about 72Wh more usable energy.
- 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.
