This portable battery station can power your home for two weeks - but there's more to it

"If you see the sun regularly, solar generators are the way forward. They allow you to capture and store the free energy that's beaming down from the sun, convert it into electricity, and store it in batteries. Solar generators consist of two parts: a portable power station (think power bank, but bigger) and solar panels. The power stations come in all shapes and sizes, from small boxes you'd be happy carrying for a short distance to big boxes on wheels."

"Jackery, a familiar name in the power station game for over a decade now, has a new power station called the , and this thing is a total game-changer. You can scale it up from a single unit that's good for a day or two of camping, to an array of batteries and solar panels that can power your home for two weeks. You read that right: two weeks."

"You might notice that there's something sitting atop my Explorer 2000 Plus. That's an add-on PackPlus E2000 Plus battery pack that adds 2042.8 Wh of electrical storage capacity to the system. This is even bigger! Is 4,000 Wh not enough for you? You can connect up to five PackPlus E2000 Plus battery packs to a single Explorer 2000 Plus to get 12,000 Wh of storage. A single PackPlus E2000 Plus weighs 41.9 pounds (19 kg), so the two units combined weigh over 100 pounds (46.9 kg). Still not enough? No problem! You can join together two Explorer 2000 Plus units, each connected to five PackPlus E2000 Plus battery packs, to give you a whopping 24,000 Wh of power-storing capacity -- enough, according to Jackery, to provide power for the average household for two wee"

Solar generators capture sunlight, convert it into electricity, and store it in batteries for later use. Systems pair a portable power station with dedicated solar panels. Power stations range from small, easily carried units to large wheeled boxes intended for minimal transport. The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus can operate alone for camping or be expanded with PackPlus E2000 Plus battery packs for extended home backup. Each PackPlus adds 2042.8 Wh; up to five packs yield 12,000 Wh per unit. Two linked Explorer 2000 Plus units with five packs each can provide about 24,000 Wh of storage, sufficient for multi-day household power.
