Recharging with solar
The Anker SOLIX C800 Plus accepts up to 300W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 1.1 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Tips
- Electric pressure washers have a heavy motor start; many stations will trip on it.
- The Anker SOLIX C800 Plus uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
