Recharging with solar
The Jackery Explorer 1500 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’t fully keep up. A dehumidifier uses about 3.6 kWh a day at 12 hours of use, more than the Jackery Explorer 1500 v2’s best-case solar harvest. Solar will stretch the runtime but not sustain it.
Tips
- A 50-pint dehumidifier draws about 500W while its compressor runs.
- You’ll still have about 1500W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The Jackery Explorer 1500 v2 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
