Recharging with solar

The Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 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 desktop computer with monitor uses about 1.2 kWh a day at 8 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 can run it indefinitely.

Tips

  • An office desktop plus a 27-inch monitor averages about 150W during normal work.
  • You’ll still have about 2850W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
  • The Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
