Recharging with solar

The Anker SOLIX F2000 accepts up to 1000W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 3.8 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.

Solar can keep up. A window AC (5,000 BTU) uses about 2.5 kWh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Anker SOLIX F2000 can run it indefinitely.

Tips

  • Small window units draw around 450W while the compressor runs. On hot days it rarely switches off, so expect 60–80% duty.
  • You’ll still have about 1950W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
  • The Anker SOLIX F2000 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
