Best solar generator deal: Save $3,200 on Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Kit

SAVE $3,200: The Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Kit (6kWh) with 400W solar panels and two expandable battery packs is now $3,299 at Amazon — that’s 49% off its original list price of $6,499.

Those who’ve been waiting for the ultimate excuse to invest in a serious off-grid or emergency power solution, it’s time to rejoice. As of Aug. 8, the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Kit (6kWh), complete with 400W solar panels and two expandable battery packs, has had a monumental price drop at Amazon. Normally $6,499, it’s now going for $3,299 right now.

Packing a staggering 6128Wh capacity and 3000W output, the Explorer 2000 Plus isn’t just for charging a phone or two; Jackery says this can run air conditioners, fridges, RVs, or multiple heavy-duty devices at once. All of that power delivers a whisper-quiet 30dB, so you won’t have to listen to a constant drone while it works.

Charging is blisteringly quick, too: from flat to 80% in just 1.3 hours via AC or 1.6 hours with solar. With the included battery packs, you’ve got 6kWh to play with, but the system is designed for flexible expansion. Add more packs and you can hit 12kWh, or even link two units together for a jaw-dropping 24kWh capacity, 240V output, and 6000W power — enough to keep a home running through an outage.

Safety and longevity are built in. Thanks to LiFePO4 battery technology and Jackery’s advanced cooling system, you can expect up to a decade of reliable use. The unit is also fire-resistant, shock-resistant, and protected against temperature extremes, so whether it’s a summer camping trip or a winter blackout, it’s ready.

Jackery even offers a five-year warranty for peace of mind, along with eligibility for a 30% residential clean energy tax credit in the U.S.

Overall, this is an exceptionally rare discount on a high-capacity, expandable power station that’s as suited to home backup as it is to wild expeditions.
