Recharging with solar
The Jackery Explorer 1000 accepts up to 163W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 611Wh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours).

Tips
- The Series X peaks around 170W while gaming.
- You’ll still have about 830W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Jackery Explorer 1000 uses NMC cells, which are lighter but rated for fewer cycles (typically 500–800) than newer LFP models.
