What the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 can't run
These draw more than its 1,500 W continuous output, so the station will shut off: Induction hot plate.
These might trip it as they start, because their startup surge is far above its rating: Portable AC, 10,000 BTU; Sump pump, 1/2 HP; Well pump, 1/2 HP; Circular saw (7¼"). Many stations tolerate short surges, so check the surge figure in the manual, and start one motor load at a time.
Charging the Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 with solar
The Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 accepts up to 400 W of solar. Panels usually deliver about 75% of their rating, so it takes around 600 W of panels to max that out. Then a full charge from empty needs about 2 h 40 min of peak sun, which a single sunny day can cover. Smaller panels take proportionally longer. Try other panel sizes in the solar recharge time calculator.
