Recharging with solar
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 accepts up to 400W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 1.5 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. A computer monitor uses about 240Wh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- A 24–27 inch LED monitor uses 20–40W.
- You’ll still have about 1470W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
