Runtime = usable energy ÷ average draw. We count 85% of the rated 3,072 Wh as usable (2,611 Wh) to cover inverter and DC conversion losses. Fridges and freezers are averaged over their compressor cycle. An appliance runs only if its running watts fit the 3,600 W inverter and its start-up surge fits the 7,200 W surge rating. Wattages come from our appliance wattage table; try your own mix in the runtime calculator.
Which solar panels fit it?
- Solar input up to 1,000 W
- Voltage window 12–60 V
- Connector 8mm DC
Recharge time is from empty with one panel in full sun: 3,072 Wh ÷ the lower of75% of the panel's rating or the station's solar input limit. A panel rated above the input limit is safe as long as its Voc fits, because the station only draws what it can take. MC4 panels need a standard MC4 adapter cable, which many stations include. Wiring two panels in series doubles the Voc, so check the total against the voltage window. Try any pairing in the solar panel matcher.
4 panels that don't fit
- EcoFlow 125W Bifacial Modular Solar Panel: its XT60 plug doesn't fit the 8mm DC solar port
- Goal Zero Nomad 400: its brand-specific plug doesn't fit the 8mm DC solar port
- Goal Zero Nomad 200: its brand-specific plug doesn't fit the 8mm DC solar port
- Goal Zero Boulder 200 Briefcase: its brand-specific plug doesn't fit the 8mm DC solar port
