Owner pros and cons
Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2
- +2,400W continuous with 4,000W surge
- +800W solar or alternator input
- +41.7 lbs for 2,048Wh of LiFePO4
- +Storm Guard mode charges ahead of forecast weather
- −TT-30R is 120V, so it does not feed an L14-30 transfer inlet
- −Expansion battery is a big extra cost
- −App-based setup of Storm Guard and TOU modes
Jackery HomePower 3000
- +3,600W continuous with 7,200W surge handles a well pump and fridge together
- +Dedicated 120V 30A outlet for an RV cord or transfer inlet
- +59.5 lbs is light for a 3kWh unit
- +Bypass mode passes wall power through
- −Cannot be expanded; Jackery points to the 2000 Plus or 5000 Plus for that
- −120V only, so no 240V loads and no whole-home panel feed
- −No published noise figure
