Pros and cons

Best 1 kWh for SolarModel Elite 100 V2

BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 Portable Power Station

A strong, compact 1 kWh station for solar users, with two fast USB-C ports. Wall-charging speed and expandability are where it trails the EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus.

Pros

  • 1,000 W of solar input in a 25.3 lb body
  • Two fast USB-C ports: 140 W and 100 W
  • 10 ms UPS switchover
  • 5-year warranty

Cons

  • Combined AC and solar charging is capped at 1,200 W, so the two inputs do not add up
  • Power Lifting runs heating appliances at reduced power, not at their full rating
  • Wall recharge is slower than the Anker C1000 Gen 2 and EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus

Lightest 1 kWh StationModel Explorer 1000 v2 (JE-1000D)

Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 Portable Power Station

  • 23.8 lb, the lightest 1 kWh station we cover
  • Slightly more capacity than the 1,024 Wh rivals
  • One-hour recharge in Emergency Super Charging mode
  • Two 100 W USB-C ports

Cons

  • 1,500 W of AC output is the lowest of the 1 kWh group
  • Cycle life is rated to 70% capacity, where EcoFlow and Anker rate theirs to 80%
  • Not expandable
  • The extra two years of warranty apply only when bought from Jackery directly, not from Amazon

Choose the BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 if

  • You run appliances between 1,500 W and 1,800 W.
  • You charge from solar: BLUETTI publishes a 1,000 W input limit.

What we could not confirm

Jackery's pages we could read did not state the 1000 v2's solar input limit or UPS switchover time. BLUETTI's manual does not list the Elite 100 V2's AC outlet count.
