Reading the numbers

  • Anker: the C1000 Gen 2 page lets you choose a 100 W, 200 W or 400 W panel, but the prices of those combinations are not in the page text we saved, so we do not list them. Anker’s page also lists a 2 × and a 6 × C1000 Gen 2 option without prices in that text.
  • The panels are different products. A bundle name gives the wattage only. The implied panel price is a subtraction, not a price the maker lists for the panel alone.
  • Prices on these pages carry dates. Jackery’s page data shows its prices valid until Nov 3, 2026; Bluetti’s page says the Elite 100 V2 ships from Nov 12; EcoFlow’s says mid-November.
  • Check the match. Jackery’s maximum solar input is 400 W, the others’ 1,000 W, so panel wattage that suits one station can exceed another’s limit.

How we compare

Every value comes from a page that the maker publishes: product pages, policy pages and warranty tables. We did not test these products, and nothing on this page is a review or a rating. When a maker does not state a detail on the page we read, the cell says so instead of guessing. Prices and shipping dates change quickly; the maker’s page is final. Figures marked “our arithmetic” are divisions or subtractions of published numbers, not measurements.
