The Explorer 1000 Plus in brief

No other station in the 700 to 1,500 Wh class, all 25 of them, outputs more AC than the Explorer 1000 Plus at 2,000 W, with 4,000 W of surge. Its LFP pack holds 1,264.64 Wh and weighs 32 lb. The extra output matters for cooking and heating. A 1,500 W microwave runs 43 min to 1.1 h, a 1,575 W space heater 41 min to 50 min, and a 1,875 W hair dryer 34 min to 36 min. A refrigerator lasts 12 h to 31 h. Solar input reaches 800 W through a DC8020 port that takes 12 V to 60 V at up to 22 A, so a full solar charge takes 2.1 h. The wall takes 1.7 h. Jackery covers it for 3 years, plus 2 more if bought from Jackery.

How long the Explorer 1000 Plus runs things

Times use about 85% of the rated capacity, the part left after inverter and battery losses. With 1,075 Wh usable, heavy loads drain it quickly: the gas furnace blower runs 1.2 h to 3.6 h and the sump pump 1 h to 1.3 h.

Solar panels for the Explorer 1000 Plus

Its DC8020 port takes 12 to 60 V, up to 22 A and 800 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.

12 V 60 V maximum 53 V, SolarSaga 500 X 48 V, 2 x SolarSaga 200 50 V, 2 x SolarSaga 100 Prime 27 V, SolarSaga 100 32 V, SolarSaga 100 Air 27 V, SolarSaga 100 Light 28 V, SolarSaga 40 Air

Extra batteries for the Explorer 1000 Plus

Who the Explorer 1000 Plus suits

It fits someone who wants big output now and room to grow. Jackery says it can support up to 3 Battery Pack 1000 Plus units, each 1,264.64 Wh, for a system maximum of 5,058.56 Wh.

The BLUETTI AC180 weighs 36.16 lb, outputs 1,800 W, works down to -4 F and has a 5-year warranty, but holds fewer watt-hours at 1,152 Wh. This unit is rated down to 14 F.
