Received this product and used it for the first time at my off-grid cottage this weekend and I must say that I wish I would have purchased this unit from the start. Seems like a great compact package with a nice display and easy to use App. I did have to by an adapter to hook up my already installed 400W solar panels, but it was cheap and easy to install. I run a dual compartment 12V fridge and LED lights throughout my cottage, phone charging and a radio all day and into the evening and only used 65% of the first battery which I was pleasantly surprised about. it was raining most of the time and i only seen a high of 40ish watts of power being generated by my solar panels so little to no charging during this period of use.

After hurricane helene, family member needed to borrow due to power outage. This product allowed them to charge phones, laptop, batteries for power tools, etc. They charged it back up using the car charger which worked well (as the solar panels were in transit). Subsequent to them returning to me, I used the solar panel (100w) to recharge as it arrived. Went from 76% to 100% in 4 hours (keeping in mind, I placed out in the morning and the sun was not at its peak, I repositioned into direct sun after an hour, and the charge rate went up quickly. Overall, I would recommend. Those concerned with size, it’s about twice the size of a men’s size 13 boot (eg it does not take up a lot of space), and is fairly easy to lift with the handles.

Great product if you need a battery for 15amp appliances. Need a larger battery if you need a 20amp receptacle

I picked up the Solic C1000 and solar panels alongside a JBL PartyBox 700, and n Anker EverFrost cooler.This setup is absolutely incredible for long days at the pool and beach. The C1000 will power the speaker and cooler all day, even in the hot Florida sun. Add the solar panels and you can run an electric grill right on the beach and never worry about running out of juice. The solar panels can be daisychained, so you can add even more accessories like fans, phones, computers, anything you’d want at the pool.I find myself hosting more and better parties for my friends knowing that I can create a comfortable environment using the C1000 and solar panels. Plus it’s just cool to be able to do it using the sun!

My father wanted a portable power station to connect to his solar panels to power TV plus router cable box etc......he really appreciates the app so he can monitor usage. His only regret is not getting a larger unit, but in time he will.
