While this isn’t the absolute lowest price for the power station, it’s just $20 shy of the record low we saw last month. Alternatively, you can pick up the solar generator set with a 200W panel for $699, which is $500 less than usual.

Why You Need the Anker Solix C1000

Anker’s Solix C1000 is one of the most popular 1 kWh power stations available. It packs a 1,056Wh battery while remaining lightweight, compact, and more durable than many alternatives with the same capacity. With two large handles, it’s easy to maneuver and transport. The expandable LFP battery also offers a long lifecycle, with Anker rating it to retain 70% of its health after 3,000 cycles.

When it comes to powering devices, the Solix C1000 delivers 1,800W of output with a 2,400W surge capacity. This means it can power high-energy appliances like an electric grill, a coffee maker, or even a mini fridge. The station also features 11 ports, including multiple AC sockets and USB ports for smaller gadgets. Additionally, a built-in front-facing LED lamp provides bright illumination, making it handy for nighttime use.

Charging the Solix C1000 is also incredibly fast. Using a standard wall outlet, it can refill from 0 to 100% in just 58 minutes. For those relying on solar charging, it supports fast top-ups with solar panels. If paired with a 600W panel, it can be fully recharged in under 2 hours—perfect for off-grid adventures like camping or beach trips.

Another convenient feature is the ability to manage the power station through the Anker mobile app. This allows users to adjust AC wattage levels, monitor battery status, and control ports remotely.
