Thank you

Nice, I have an old Ecoflow that won't charge and gives me a warning when I try to overcurrent it Definitely best to get a solar generator that limits charge current on it's own
Comment from : @Electronzap

what comparison is that? you tested a foldable portable solar with 2x fixed bulkier one? Oo
Comment from : @donciak

Hello I have the same power station Anker Solix C1000x and I have a 160W solar panel from Ecoflow The 96 A from the solar panel is quite close to the 10A from Anker Do any of you know this will be a problem with the charging? Thanks
Comment from : @dumitruovidiupandurasu5238

Wow, I recently bought the same Anker power station and was searching for a solar panel solution using off-brand panels This is an excellent solution Thank you for creating this video! It’s incredibly helpful!

Q All of these for 141 of Tesla chargers?!!!!!!
Comment from : @eddiela6658

Thanks
Comment from : @BIGwillTHEGAME

Being as close to perpendicular to the sun as possible is important to get the maximum out of the panel the two sets shown are at different angles brThere is an app for your phone called PVOptimizer to help you do this Periodic adjustment during the day will maximize your charging via solar

Can you please send me the link for the 200 watt panel?
Comment from : @jtouro7851

I have the Anker Solix 1000 with 200 watt solar panel If it's sunny, it can save me up to 30 cents a day on electricity instead of buying it from the power company
Comment from : @SalvadorButtersworth

This video helped me a bunch without having to waste my time wading through fifteen videos to get the same answers you gave Thank you
Comment from : @realgk2417

Garbage product will crap out in 6 months DO NOT BUY!!!!
Comment from : @hunterwalker6832

Hello Which adapter am i supposed to buy? Your amazon link shows a 10awg and a 12awg option Thank you
Comment from : @phsenor

All very well for single panels, most will be OK but the issue comes when multi panelling to reach the max wattage
Comment from : @mandarinmiata8209

Good and informative video thanks
Comment from : @jhunjacquicamarillo6263

Hi I just bought the solix c 1000 and want to get Renogy 400W Lightweight Portable Solar SuitcasebrI know you haven’t reviewed this but this will this work with it? if I understand what you have told me The price is right for me right now
Comment from : @briancarlin6879

I have a solar panel with 12v 20a charger that i use to charge the batteries on my trailer I was confused for a bit on the charging of the power station I think I understand correctly that to use those panels I would actually want to bypass the charge controller and go directly to the power station from the panel?
Comment from : @donhummel6630

thanks for showing examples of different panels and how to determine their compatibility
Comment from : @effenfish661

Thx 4 this!
Comment from : @batana99

Higher voltage is more efficent, some of the battery systems can be used with more panels than the max wattage You want 50 volts open circuit 10 to 12 amps and use them daytime to reduce battery cycling

Buy your stuff now before the tariffs come!
Comment from : @ElricX

Followed your setup exactly with the same products in my camper van Works great!! Exactly what I needed for weekend camping or road trips
Comment from : @orangewrite-off8897

Why see see no one talking using 500 watt on anker solix, it always talked about using 400 w?
Comment from : @jasonhitton9149

I got the Anker C1000 with a 200w solar panel for $699 (pre-tax)
Comment from : @michaelaustria4693

what happens if i tried higher solar panel Amps to it ? is just not gonna charger or will it damage my power station ?
Comment from : @x93Bx

Great review, Thanks
Comment from : @AdelaideMan

Ok Cool Thank you I like saving moneybrCan that power box run an A/C unit ? If so for how many hours ?brIf this can't is there anything that can ?
Comment from : @Not_Sure_

The amps/voltage information is incorrect as many have pointed out Perhaps add a correction to the video to head off misinformation As for brand vs off brand, the main reason to get the brand solar panel is quality abd support Anker quality and support is generally better than most off brand products For the right price (eg Black Friday sale), the cost difference is minimal The main reason I went with Anker is for the reasons above, and portability However, I also plan on getting an off brand, permanent solar panel set for use at home as well and plan on using a parallel connection when needed to boost charging
Comment from : @ntsejfamyaj

Hi, any suggestions on 200W after market solar panels compatible with the Jackery 1000 V2? Thanks
Comment from : @jet-setters1791

If I use the Solar Charging Cable included with Anker C1000 (which has 2 XT60 inputs) Can I connect an Anker 100W solar panel in one port and another off-brand 300w or whatever is compatible with those numbers in the second Would this combination work?brbrSorry for maybe stupid question but are very new to this 😅
Comment from : @lowesmed5681

Will the Renogy 200 Watt Solar Panel work with this?
Comment from : @47coffee

but what if you have a basic battery with PWM controller is reall needed to follow the compatbility ?
Comment from : @mandamiddle0278

4:18 - Sorry dude, but that solar panel is just fine
Comment from : @JenkinsUSA

Dude! This video is outstanding Having just come through hurricane Helene in Asheville, I'm beefing up my power backup game I have an Anker power station, but kept wondering if I NEEDED to go with the name brand solar panel Your video help me make that decision
Comment from : @blueridgeastrology360

omg, thsi video is EXACTLY what I've been looking for as a learning beginner! I'll be rewatching this over and over
Comment from : @CesarGamino

adn cable costs that diference
Comment from : @36xxxxty

Going to save this video This is very needed information Thanks dude My wh is 1476, i think Haven't got it yet i bought 2-100w, 12 A solar panel and i hope it works I would have bought 400W, but i didn't have the money i hope 200 is enough
Comment from : @Kimberlyworks-ps2wm

Do you know Ian Beale?
Comment from : @exxonein7729

Wait for the sales and you can get a bank and panel for pretty cheap
Comment from : @planetdee3587

Great info but It hurt @ 2:20 when you laid the solar panel face down on that concrete
Comment from : @thefpvlife7785

For those who didn't watch until the end, this video was about car insurance not solar panel compatibility Thank me later
Comment from : @challengeronrift

I didnt see tips on picking the correct cable adapter
Comment from : @AlexKidd4Fun

Loved it
Comment from : @suhailahmd3493

Hey man amazing videos !!! I have a question should I get the Anker c800 or c300 or the eco flow river 2 max I think it is thank you
Comment from : @ernestomontalvo6750

Yeah I’ve recently thought why bother getting branded, unless maybe you need folding It is so easy to make a frame or stand for non-“portable” ones…
Comment from : @TheNewMediaoftheDawn

HOW LONG IT TAKES TO CHARGE? REPLY FAST PLEASE TNX
Comment from : @jermpoz2971

You should do a test to see how long it would take to charge a Tesla with this type of battery and solar panel setup
Comment from : @ROGU3L3PHANT

Thank you Im new to this It helps alot Just liked and subscribed
Comment from : @donhtb1

are you allowed to take this big power bank on a plane or will you get kicked off?
Comment from : @UserName-q4i5d

It's surprising how hard it is to find useful information, on any subject Thank you for this
Comment from : @RobNeeth

That's a useful video!
Comment from : @johnsmith-dm2tq

doesn't overcharges? someone told me to buy mppt first
Comment from : @Elijah-wo8bm

Comment from : @johnsmith-dm2tq

Note: the Anker will auto limit the power I fed mine with 60Amps of solar the anker self limited to 10A Here is why you want to out 60A of panels on it 60 Amps of solar panels gives me 10 Amps of solar power on a cloudy day I fully charge in 4 hours on an overcast day Sunny days I'm just wasting any power that is created, smart thing would be to tap off it and charge up 2-3 of the anker batteries at the same time when sunny
Comment from : @TimGray

How do we know whether the cheaper panels will continue to perform over time, compared to the more expensive models?
Comment from : @mikechaplin1566

Great, Thank you
Comment from : @negrinator0071

Is this better than Jackery 1000??
Comment from : @goldenblooms6672

I love your videos! Very newbie-friendly brI’ve seen comments highlighting that you made some errors concerning amps, but please just integrate that knowledge and keep making videos! Your format is still great and not knowing everything is not a problem
Comment from : @arvidlu

In a grid down situation, would the panels on my home still send power to my outlets? Or is there some device that prioritizes the grid in that situation?
Comment from : @steves1390

Car insurance it's a scam
Comment from : @luisjarama5194

Beyond the amp issue in your video you also fail to account for the different implementations in those panels One is meant to be portable, the other stationary hence the price difference
Comment from : @davi75668

Hi We just went through Hurricane Helene I have no knowledge of this product category I ordered an Anker C2000 with a 100-watt panel It seems like I should have gone with a larger panel, but it's already shipped Can I buy some other panel and use it in conjunction with the Anker panel? If so what cable to I need? Sorry for the beginner questionbrThanks for any input
Comment from : @howardhurwitz4263

Thanks for the education A180 Bluetti is arriving soon and was looking for a cheaper solar panel options
Comment from : @cadizwilmo9687

You are a super good teacher What about the cord I would need to buy to attach to the C1000?
Comment from : @MeriMorMick

I have a question which your mother is good to charge electrical Skuter 🛴 INMOTION RS
Comment from : @kirozahariev502

You can find 400-watt panels for around $100, too
Comment from : @robligeti8353

Just found your channel and I must say I love your videos Thank you!brAlthough I have a background on electronics engineering my solar kit knowledge is limitedbrCheers, from Portugal
Comment from : @Jorge1419

This was extremely helpful and very much appreciated!
Comment from : @juddfrazier

Begging for help here I currently have a brand new Anker solix c1000x I have one compatible 170w rigid solar panel Everything I Raa we as says I need a charge controller still if I’m connecting the power station directly to the panel? Is this true? Adapter looks like it just connects right to the panel This is going to be in a fixed position on my shed roof Any info would be greatly appreciated
Comment from : @jacoblong5840

Can I add 2 more of those panels ?
Comment from : @erikw2012

Can I charge it with Pulsar 2319N gas genetator? How long to charge assuming 1,000watts?
Comment from : @tronziebit

You care to make a video correcting all the issues everyone pointed out?
Comment from : @mreega4812

I was kind of sure about the numbers but now you answered my question Cool dude
Comment from : @mark4837

Hey, good video, you explained very well
Comment from : @vandweleer8004

I got the Renogy 200w Solar Panel for the Anker Solix c300!brDoes anybody know if this is a good combo? I didn't want to pay $299-$499 for the 100w-200w anker panels
Comment from : @KoreanWorldTraveler

I only need a 300 watt unitdo they make a 300 watt version? I would use a 100 maybe 200 watt panel to charge it
Comment from : @minibikemadman

4:47 the shorts current on the panel spec is the short circuit current Not resistance load
Comment from : @benburton3496

Can it be charged through car lighter port?
Comment from : @frankpagan1294

I purchased two 200W Renology 12v solar panels off of Amazon They are usually on sale and they are way cheaper than Anker's solar panels, and they usually work better at solar than Anker's panels They work great with my Anker f3800 power station! Anker's is nicer for portability, but they need to do better with their panels since Renology beats theirs
Comment from : @mcfunswimmer011

Thank u
Comment from : @mrmike6711

Several comments about the amps pulled, but no one mentioned that if you do the math on the solar panel at 4:00, you can put two of those panels in series for 45V at 1221A, giving you just under 550 Watts maximum power at the input of your Anker
