Storm knocks the power out. The house goes quiet. Then the fridge hums back on and the lights return no fumes, no pull‑cord, no drama. That’s the promise of a solar generator. It takes sunlight, stores it in a battery, and gives you steady power for what matters: the fridge, lights, Wi‑Fi, even the window AC on a hot night.
Anker SOLIX solar generators capture energy with high‑efficiency panels and store it in portable power stations. Tough shells. Flexible output. Easy to move. They’re built for outages, off‑grid living, road trips, camping, and those “just in case” moments. Use them daily, too peak shaving can trim your bill by shifting usage away from expensive hours.

Solar Generators Portable: Power You Can Carry
Heading into the wild? Solar generators portable are your grab‑and‑go answer. Small enough to pack. Strong enough to matter.
Great for:
- RV trips, van life, and road miles
- Camping, overlanding, and tailgates
- Fishing weekends and beach days
What they’ll run:
- Lanterns and camping lights
- Coolers and mini‑fridges
- Phones, laptops, cameras, drones
- Coffee makers, small cooktops, hair dryers (check wattage)
A favorite sweet spot is the C1000, quick to charge, easy to carry, and powerful enough to cover your daily devices without weighing you down. Sunshine in, steady AC out.
How A Solar Generator Works (Simple)
- Panels gather DC power from the sun.
- The battery inside the portable power station stores that energy (often LFP for long life).
- An inverter turns DC into AC, the kind your appliances use.
- You plug in and go. Indoors or outdoors.
No fuel cans. No exhaust. No shouting over engine noise.
Whole‑Home Backup vs. Essential Circuits
Whole‑Home Backup
Hook an F3800 to a Home Power Panel and let it switch automatically during outages. Keep the big stuff moving central air (model/size dependent), pumps, ovens, EV charging, the works. It stores solar and grid energy so you’re ready day and night.
Essential Backup
Prefer a simpler setup? Add a Transfer Switch and feed only the circuits you care about: lights, the fridge/freezer, a window AC, network gear, home office. Flip the switch and your portable power station becomes a steady home backup battery until the grid returns.

Quick FAQ
1) What is backup power?
Stored energy that keeps the essentials on when the grid goes down.
2) What is a home backup battery?
A battery (often paired with solar) that powers the home or key circuits during blackouts.
3) Are solar generators better than gas for home backup?
For many folks, yes. They’re quiet, clean, and low‑maintenance. Gas has its place, but it needs fuel, venting, and routine care.
4) Do battery backups “use” a lot of electricity?
They store energy from solar or the grid. Smart modes and peak shaving can reduce bills.
5) How long will a solar generator run?
Depends on battery size and load. A large unit (like F3800) can keep fridges, lights, and electronics going for hours or days with the right capacity.
6) How much backup do I need?
- Small apartment: a few kWh
- Family home: 10–15kWh or more
- Full off‑grid: larger stack with expansion batteries
7) How do I maintain it?
Keep firmware updated, store it dry, top it up, and wipe dust from the panels.
8) What about the warranty?
Anker backs its portable power stations and home battery backup gear with multi‑year, hassle‑free warranties and lifetime support.
