What 2000w Solar Generator do you recommend?

[nvisibl]

I'm looking for a good 2000w Solar Generator to use for powering Electric Hob, Heater, Lights, Fridge etc..

Any recommendations?

Depends on what you want to spend. Get a "package" and it may be more then $1000. Build it yourself and it will cost less and probably be a better system.

Thanks

I'm looking for ease of use so would rather have an off the shelf unit like the Jackery 1000w I recently purchased

I'm looking for at least 2000w now though

I have seen a blue unit that comes in different wattages. But I never saw the price and expect it to me more then the Jackery.

I guess I am a little biased because I built a small solar / battery system back around 2015 and it cost me a lot less then the commercial system of comparable wattage and watt hour output.

But that was when I had more time then money.

I recommend building to your own specs. I am only familiar with the Bluetti series, and I read those to be limiting on solar charging power, so if you plan to run large watttage items the solar input won’t keep up, which is a problem The AC200 has a 2000 watt Innverter, but only allows 700 watts of panels. 700 watts of panels may get you 1.4 kWh to 3.5 kWh of power a day depending on the time of year.

Using lithium batteries and the correct SCC and solar, you could get as much power input as you desire.

Really comes down to watt hours. If you are running Air conditioning off this, than it is an issue, If you using only a couple kWh of power, its not.

I think the term Solar Generator is a marketing term to dumb down this subject to sell high priced devices with lots of bells and whistles but very little capacity. A better value can be obtained by following the above advice and building to your own specs.

looking for 2000w is not a easy task

yes,Buddy,it is not easy, how about this 5000w solar generator from renogy? I am also seek for more recommendations here

[Ampster]

Wow, such a deal at $1,000 per kWh.

Yeah those package "solar generators" are wildly expensive. What they also don't mention in their adds is the number and depth of the cycles the unit can provide.

[Ampster]

These "solar generators" are not really generators at all. They are expensive batteries that store a small amout of energy and need expensive solar panels to do more than store energy.

So what is the really solar generators？ could you give some advices?LOL

I feel that the term "solar generators" is also a misnomer. They are really boxes that contain batteries of different chemistries which can be charged from solar panels but also charged from the home or car. So I would not necessarily believe in the advertisements stating they are "solar" in anyway because some people decide not to charge them via a solar panel.

Oh and they are very expensive IMO.

[azdave]

"Solar Generators" is pure marketing stupidity. Unfortunately, I doubt the term will ever go away.

Please stop posting links, thanks.
