Jackery Explorer 1500

 With 1534 Wh, the Jackery Explorer 1500 promises to run a refrigerator for up to 15 hours, a T.V. for up to 21 hours, and a microwave for up to 68 minutes. That’s more than enough to get through most outages unscathed, especially when you consider how efficient the Jackery Explorer 1500 is. 

The Jackery Explorer 1500 is one of the most efficient solar-powered generators for home use, thanks to its upgraded MPPT controller. You’ll reach an 80% charge in just four hours of solar exposure. That’s not bad, given that it only allows for 400w input. 

Jackery recommends using this generator with their SolarSaga 100w solar panels, up to four at a time. Though you’ll have to purchase them separately, they’re affordable and foldable, making them exceptionally convenient.

If you happen to own other solar panels, though, you’ll have to purchase adaptors to work with Jackery products. Jackery uses proprietary connections, which can be a little frustrating for those who already have solar panels in place.  

The Explorer 1500 features seven power outlets in various forms, including three USB ports. It also has a digital screen that will provide real-time battery monitoring.

All in all, this is a highly efficient and easy-to-use power generating machine.
