Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX C1000 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. An Xbox Series X uses about 510Wh a day at 3 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX C1000 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- The Series X peaks around 170W while gaming.
- You’ll still have about 1630W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Anker SOLIX C1000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
