Jackery’s giant new solar generator can power your home for up to two weeks – preorders start today

Power stations are like huge power banks for your home, allowing you to store energy — collected from the grid or captured from the sun — and use this to power your home appliances. Whether there’s a power outage — or you want to use the cheap power you’ve collected from the sun —  a power station can be a great investment.

Jackery, a name in the power station market for over a decade, has released a new power station, the Jackery Solar Generator 5000 Plus, and it’s a behemoth.

Jackery Solar Generator 5000 Plus features:

• 5 to 60kWh capacity and 7.2 to 14.4kW output for reliable home backup power lasting up to two weeks
• 120V/240V dual voltage enhances compatibility, supporting loads like dryers, water pumps, ovens, ACs, EVs, or RVs
• Fully charges in 1.7 hours, compatible with AC, high-voltage PV (4000W), low-voltage PV (1200W), and more
• UPS 0 ms switchover for uninterrupted power to essential devices
• Next-gen LiFePO4 cells last over 10 years, and the power station comes with a five-year warranty plus two optional years
• ChargeShield 2.0 for advanced protection and efficient charging
• Smart App control allows the device to be remotely monitored and managed 
• Easy moving with wheels and a pull handle
• Low noise level of just 30 dB
• Connects with Jackery 500x 25% efficiency solar panels

Several stand-out features to the Solar Generator 5000 Plus put it head and shoulders over the competition. First, the 5kWh capacity is enough to run a home for a day, and with every Battery Pack 5000 Plus you add, you add an extra day of running, up to a colossal 60kWh.

The unit also supports 120V and 240V voltage output, so it can handle everyday devices like lights and laptops along with heavy-duty equipment such as dryers, water pumps, and ovens. It can also be used to recharge electric vehicles. 

The 0ms response time in UPS mode is also useful for situations where you want the unit to start immediately when the power dips, making it perfect for powering sensitive devices such as routers, backup devices, and medical devices such as CPAP.
