The C1000 in brief
Third-highest AC output among 25 stations in the 700 to 1,500 Wh class belongs to the C1000, at 1,800 W. That is enough for a 1,575 W space heater for 34 min to 41 min or a 1,500 W microwave for 36 min to 54 min, and a refrigerator lasts 9.8 h to 26 h. The battery is 1,056 Wh of LFP rated for 3,000 cycles to 80 percent, in a 28.44 lb case, and one BP1000 expansion battery doubles it to 2,112 Wh. Wall charging at 1,000 W takes 1.1 h. Anker no longer sells the C1000 new in its own US store, and its newer model is the C1000 Gen 2, at 1,024 Wh and 2,000 W.
How long the C1000 runs things
Times use about 85% of the rated capacity, the part left after inverter and battery losses. The furnace blower (875 W running) and the sump pump (1,050 W running) fit under the 1,800 W output, but their starts of 2,350 W and 2,150 W do not.
Work out your own mix of loads. A red bar means it draws more than the 1,800 W this station can supply.
How fast it refills
Solar time assumes panels reach 75% of their rating. Figure it for your state and panels.
Solar panels for the C1000
Its XT60 port takes 11 to 60 V, up to 12.5 A and 600 W. A panel's voltage rises in the cold, so the marks below show each one at 14 F, and a pass here keeps 10% of headroom under the maximum.

Who the C1000 suits
Choose it for kitchen and heating loads such as the microwave, the coffee maker and the space heater, all of which clear both running and startup power. It also suits anyone who wants to double capacity later with a BP1000. Move to the C1000 Gen 2 if you need to start a 2,150 W sump pump, since its 3,000 W surge rating covers it and the C1000 does not. Pick the Jackery HomePower 1000 Plus v2 if you want the same 1,800 W output with a 3,600 W surge rating and a 6,000-cycle battery.

FAQ
Can the Anker SOLIX C1000 run a space heater?
A 1,575 W space heater is under the 1,800 W output, and its 1,300 W start is covered as well. Expect 34 min to 41 min of heat from the 1,056 Wh battery.
How much can the C1000 be expanded?
One BP1000 Expansion Battery of 1,056 Wh can be added, which brings the system to 2,112 Wh. The listing allows one, not two.
Which solar panels stay inside the C1000 input limits?
The Anker 440W Rigid and PS100, the Jackery SolarSaga 500 X, and two EcoFlow 220W panels in series are inside the 11 to 60 V limits. The Anker PS400 and PS200 at 57.6 V open-circuit are outside. Anker recommends its own panels and PV connectors, so any other brand's approval is a separate matter.
How long does the C1000 take to recharge?
From the wall, 1,000 W fills it in 1.1 h. On solar, 2.3 h is the figure at the full 600 W input.
