Anker SOLIX F2000 - Best Choice of 2023?! Excellent Performance - 2048WH - LFP - 2400W Inverter 

What did you think of the performance? If you liked it, check out the links below: Visit Anker's website to learn more HERE: shrsl.com/3xxom You can check it out on Amazon HERE: amzn.to/3ECvWof You can see my Power Station Grading Sheet HERE: jasonoid.com/powerstations/

I was looking for a power station and I first looked at my friend’s Ecoflow Pro. It’s fans are too loud for use indoors. I don’t need the ability to expand to 240 V split phase with two units so I decided on the Anker 767 with the extra battery and I’m really happy with it. 4KWh for $2600, stellar build quality, 93% inverter efficiency, and quiet!

Was able to snag myself one of these with a 200w solar panel for $1800 on prime day sales. Felt like I won the lottery.

great review. very thorough. thanks for helping me decide which to buy.

Thanks for this super informative video Jason! We are thinking of buying something in this range and this review was super helpful! I appreciate your thorough reviews! Katy

P.S. Nice review Jasonoid !!!!! P.P.S. 2023 is gonna be a bright year for these power stations :)

Great video as always! Looks like a nice power station as well. I have the anker 757 and 555 myself and a delta 2 and river 2 all of witch I bought after watching your reviews on them.

Love your reviews. Just purchased during Amazon Days for 1399.

You do a very good job of testing and reviewing the devices and clearly laying out the pros and cons. Thanks much

I'm glad it has wheels so I can tow it behind my e-bike and drive to Mexico.

Great review! We reached the same conclusion. Awesome unit.

Mahalo, Appreciate the great review. Aloha

Another weird "gotcha" with this unit is the 10amp vs 20amp solar charge rate. I tried 2 URE 365 watt panels in parallel (40.7VOC). I couldn't get the unit to charge more than 10amps so I measured VOC at the panels (37V), and again at the ends of my MC4 cables (33.5V). Despite being above the 32 volt threshold for 20amp charging, I couldn't get it out of "10amp mode". I asked Anker for an explanation and they never really answered my question. Long story short, get your VOC up in the high 40's or low 50's for best results. Ankers own 531 panels are 57.6VOC which leaves very little room for cold weather.

Thank you Jason 👍🏼 I have a mishmash of panels going on more out of panic pre hurricane buying. So having to buy their panels gets pricey for me. Looks like a great unit the handle and wheels are great for weaklings like me😂 The RV plug really is a huge huge plus! Really like this unit 👍🏼👍🏼

Looks pretty good. Nice build too. Just bought my AC200. Can't doubt my decision now 😄

The 300w output was very impressive while changing the 3 pps. Thanks for a great review Jason.

💚 Thanks Jason great review 🐾🐾

Seems like a solid unit and great start to 2023. Can’t wait to see how the competitors respond.

Anker is a Good company and looks like alot of options in models to choose from! Information great and great job!2

Great Video!! Yes biggest take always was no dual charging, low voltage for solar charging and for expansion I dont like the hard rigid cables which makes it a tougher choice for storing or the RV community. When will companies stop making those? Or a updated cable would be great 👍🏼 Over all still a good unit and efficient!

Great review Jason! Cool to see we get very similar data, glad the sine wave was so clean and there was so little noise. Jealous you had 3x 100w USB-C PD devices to test with - 560w of DC output is impressive! I agree that the super quiet fans and cooler GaN tech is best in class. This feels super simple and solid, it just works. 9.5 is really good, I didn’t expect that high a score

Great job! This is one of the ones I was interested in. I'm hoping to see an Oupes Mega review sometime.

Nice review! The price may be premium, but this looks like a premium product (like everything else I've seen from Anker). I am again considering another power station, and it would be a big one. I used my budget on a very nice laptop lately (instead of buying a years-old refurb, I got a new Thinkpad T16), so I'll need to wait, but this one checks all the boxes I need. Askive reviewed another interesting model lately, but this one looks better.

Thanks!

Looks really good despite the solar charging issue, which is pretty huge. Anker better get moving on making some rigid panels.

Man, I'd like to get my hands on one of these! Anker really should expand to South Africa, EVERYBODY's in the market for power stations as our power utility is sliding down the toilet in a hurry. We have regular blackouts (they don't like that word, it's called "loadshedding") each day. And it's only going to get worse. With winter coming up, everybody's buying portable power stations left & right, and I'll predict extra batteries in no time after. I've done quite a bit of research, and the best available here is the Ecoflow. It's 30% heavier, doesn't have that nice pull-out handle to move around, and it's way too loud for my taste. If you work from home, have to do recordings and editing, as well as regular online meetings...well, you want as little noise interference as possible. This looks like the real deal.

So close to perfect, c'mon Anker give us 100V+ solar input!

Why didn't you test the 30 Amp rv plug in?

The main two reasons I did not choose the anker is the price and the 60-volt solar limit. Other than that, it looks like a great unit. I went with a Pecron 2000. Great price right now on sale and the fact it takes up to 95 volts of solar in both inputs made it perfect for me. I got the unit yesterday and charged it with my 4 230-watt panels today with no issues other than tree shade and clouds. It was getting 66 volts from both sets in series. If you were not aware, the newest version of the Pecron 2000 puts out 120 volts on the ac inverter now. I have not tested the usbc ports yet or the 12 volt side.

Great and very thorough review! I'm glad to see that these things just continue to get better and better. The price is a bit high and since i have too much invested in the AC200MAX with 2 extra batteries and DC charge enhancers, i won't be switching to anything else any time soon. Maybe one of these manufacturers will actually make a good all in one with true split phase 240 VAC operation that will run a medium size load (such as a well pump) for a round a half hour or so without having to buy two along with the bridging adapter. If you look at the Delta 2, then you realize that EcoFlow could easily combine 2 of those in one box, and sell a 2048W LFP with a 3.8 KW 240 VAC split phase for the same price as this Anker unit. That would be a real game changer for 2KW battery size range of solar generators

I wish this unit had come out prior to purchasing the ac200 max. That being said, I’m pretty happy with it

looks like a great unit, if i didn't already have my ffpower p2001, i would be very interested in this unit. having 120v instead of 110v is a great option. being able to set the charging rate is a great option to have on the anker, though i can reduce the charging rate on the p2001 by putting a load on it while it's charging. and of course the bluetooth app is also a nice addition.

Love it and would buy one if I had money to just use but when I can just build another 280ah battery for under 700 bucks...

Great review and good product. My only concern is the 60 volt max. Could (2) 100 watt 24 volt panels be combined with (1) 200 watt 45 volt panel?

Off grid camping input a challenge. Output great with Rv connection. But power in is a safety must for me if no power but Sun.

Thank you for the thorough review! So many other reviews on this unit just read off the spec sheet. Really wanted to like this one for its size and efficiency while still being just about portable, but those solar charging limits are keeping me holding out for Bluetti refreshing the AC200Max with a bidirectional inverter for UPS and no external brick. I kinda think they chose those solar limits on purpose as it is basically impossible to hit 1000W nearly exactly except with their ludicrously expensive panels. The only two panels I could find are some 200W fixed panels with Voc of 29V and Vmax of 24.5V so with a 3P2S setup you are technically over paneling at 1200W but only going over on current so the unit would limit that anyway and that’s probably a good thing since you never get full capacity anyway in the real world. Would likely need at least 10 gauge wires if not 8 though for less loss. Also not being able to mix solar and AC for charging is just poor. Solar is essentially free once you have the panels so it should always try to use that and then make up any shortfall with AC. Even the Bluetti EB3A does that. I do like the use of the GaN circuitry for better efficiency and lower temps. I hope other adopt this like they are doing in other AC chargers as I did have issues with the EB3A overheating with continual use.

Another awesome video! The most solar I've been able to get into mine is 808 watts (and only for a moment) with 2 Qcell 480 watt bifacial panels. I challenge anyone to overpanel this unit and get the full 1000 watts. Another CON is the expensive expansion battery and you are limited to only 1 expansion battery.

If they change this unit to dual charging would be the great unit for RV and I will buy it.

As of this date,4-21-24 I have found this unit at $1,395 (New) not refurbished which drops the cost per watt way back.

So much competition now . In the 2000wh range I'm actually leaning towards the pecron e2000 lfp for my next purchase. But wow I love what Anker is doing and already years of proven support an established trusted company.

Hi thank you I have been looking at this, so very helpful, was also interested in the expansion battery do you have any info on that . Great review well did. 👍🐝🌞

Yeah Ita cool to have the 2 12v sockets but I still don't like them ha. It would have been nice to see a 12 and 24 or one of them as a dual 12 / 24v.

The way products reviews should be done. Great video.

Great review Jason! I'm really impressed by Anker's performance and efficiency. I think the only one more efficient is the Pecron E2000LFP. Completely agree on the low solar input voltage and needing another 12V port that's not the horrible cigarette lighter port. The input voltage really needs to be higher. While it can recharge at the ~600W in ~4hr, that's with no load. I use my power stations under load while solar charging, so I need the ability to charge within 2-3hrs at no-load conditions so I can fully recharge while I'm using the power station. The Anker is like a full featured Pecron. Unfortunately, while the features are nice, I can't justify the cost difference. Plus the Pecron is expandable to 8kWh. But that little extra output capability on the Anker inverter is nice. I've overloaded the Pecron 2000W inverter. BTW, do you plan to test the Oupes Mega 5? That one like very interesting with a massive 4kW inverter and expandable to 10kWh. Though some of their numbers are marketing hype, like their 2250W solar input that isn't realizable due to their 15A current limit.

Great review on what looks like a very solid unit, despite the voltage limitation on solar charging! How does the expansion battery hook up?

I agree it's a very nice unit, but at $0.97/Wh and the fact that you're almost forced to buy their solar panels means I would give it a pass. Also, I am of the opinion that the UPS function is inadequate, especially for servers and other critical electronics. 10 milliamps/second or less is for me the standard; 3 out of 4 successful events is actually unacceptable. I went looking to see if I could find a 12v/5150 converter to plug into one of the 12v sockets, but could not find one readily available. This was a nice review and you are very thorough - thanks!

Jason, do you think the 767 will have issues starting a Midea Duo 14,000 BTU inverter portable air conditioner? I ask because of how surge is managed. The Midea only ever pulls about 1200w on my meter, but I have not measured inrush on high cool situations where it is in a hot room at start. Any insight I appreciated, as this is a big use case for me. The Media inverter backs off nicely and ramps way down but I have to run when it peaks!

Very fine review! I like the Anker, but given I have two Delta 2s that will last quite awhile, I’m not ready for another “solar” generator just now.

Our Solar Arrays are similar 2S 2P, did you keep this configuration and just plug into two of the slots on the provided adapter?

Thank you for another great review. Too bad with the low Solar Input. If I am going to spend 2 grand on a Solar Generator, I expect a solid MPPT controller for decent Solar Input (or even better two MPPT's for dual). I mean, how are you even going to hook up rigid solar panels? I can not connect even two of my qcells 340 W in series with the low Voc max of the Anker of 60 Volts. Too bad, as I have a feeling, this unit is better quality and customer service than Bluetti and Ecoflow. And definitely quieter, the noise from the competition is a deal-breaker for me, unfortunately this lack of Solar Input on the Anker is probably a deal-breaker as well. I guess, I have to go with Pecron. Best compromise, and great value-for-money, I feel.

Absolutely excellent video. Very well done! Just one question, how come in the video you say that this power station got a 9.5 based on your rating system but in your google sheet it has a score of 8.5?

Hi Jason. Great video and impressive power station. To overcome your power loss in the solar test, could you increase the cable size from your 12 awg to say...8 awg? Would the connectors on the 8 awg still work with the mc4 connectors on the panels?

Great review! Quiet is good. What about surge wattage? Window AC for blackouts in Florida is a concern.

Thanks a lot for the review Jason, i bought this unitt now but i would like to plug stronger (400 W ) solar panels. Wich ones would you recommend that would work with this unit + i would surelly need plug adaptors correct?

One thing on the price it does come down if you have the need for more battery power and add the expansion battery

Jason, I just purchased the Anker 767. Can you connect regular 100w panels to this & how many could I do in series? I own newpowa 21.8V / 5.55A? Thank you in advance

just curious......can you use the Jackery 200w SolarSaga panel to charge this unit

Do they have a box that would hook two of these together for 240v?

I have a UK version and the 20ms isn’t fast enough to stop my pc or tv from restarting. Doesn’t always happen but enough that it’s an issue.

This looks good, but more than my current budget. I am looking for a battery and solar system backup (not grid replacement) in the $1500 range. What would you suggest for the generator and solar panels?

Make the max solar port voltage 150V, and allow dual charging with solar charge priority (maybe even a state of charge limit to start ac charging), and this would best pretty much anything in this price range.

I would love to see your comparison of the new ANKER SOLIX F3800, and Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000 :-) Or maybe I should hold out for the EcoFlow Delta Pro 2

Great video. What is the capacity of the battery in amp hours? I’m trying to compare it to standalone lithium batteries which are typically rated in Ah.

Please advise on feasibility of 12v to 48v step up converter, with the understanding that wiring would be sufficient

I think I will stick with my Ecoflow Delta 2000, It does just fine,. And my ice box is just like yours and my Ecoflow runs it with close to 50% power after 24 hours. thky great video .. dan t.

Thank you SO much for a thorough review of a very tempting power station. Your points are excellent. I would buy this right now IF, like you pointed out, it had dual-charging AND more than 60volts to allow 1000w of any other brand of panels ( like most of us have ). Do you think there is any likelihood of Anker upgrading to Dual-charging & higher solar wattage ?

Thank you for the great review(s)! We are planning to build a campervan and thinking of using a powerhouse as main powersource. So far we would go for the Anker 767 + expansion battery. Since we will be off-grid most of the time, we are trying to find alternative ways to charge the powerhouse. The company that sells this powerhouse in The Netherlands wrote me that its not possible to charge the powerhouse will driving using the starting battery. I already thought that's weird.. I ended up checking another video from you about using converters like the Victron Orion, but I still have troubles understanding what are the things I should keep in mind. Since we don't want to end up with a dead starting battery ;-) I guess the size of the battery in amps or amp-hours is important?

Thank you for the thorough review. You pointed out that the low voltage / high amp combination of solar panels in parallel means that there is significant loss when running longer cables. I would like to place some of the Anker 531 solar panels outside during the summer, but store the 767 indoors. Would it be better to get an extension cable for running between the splitter and the unit, or separate extension cables for each panel (and keep the run from the splitter to the unit as short as possible?) How long of an extension could I run? Thank you!

Thinking of one of these for my van. The Delta Pro has much more dc capacity. Could you combine both 12v sockets into one to to increase the power and feed a 12v fuse panel? That would probably be enough.

Recently watched your video of the Series and parallel , did you try the BougeRv 180W panels in 2s2p config. with this power unit I'm looking at panels options and don't need to over panel it , actually I think something around 650-700w will work for my needs, if you did try it any issues with over voltage or amps, if not in need of the 1000W is this a setup you'd recommend for this power station, been also considering the JJN Bifacial 200 Watt Solar Panels 12V 10BB in 2s2p, any experience with those?, Thanks again.

Jason please do a head to head with the Eco float Delta pro

Excellent Video. I am looking for a down Grid solution and like everything else, there is a lot to learn. What do you think about getting a cheap gas powered generator to charge instead of solar panels? ETA: Have you tested the Mango E?

Did you verify the DC idle consumption by being able to draw ~1700Wh (0.98 x 1738Wh) from the DC output after first letting it sit for 15 hours? I feel it's important to check the validity of the SoC indicator, since it might not be very accurate when being under very small loads for longer periods.

For van dc use, do you think I could use the 2 dc 10 amp sockets connected to a dc panel to get 20 amps total to the dc panel?

thanks for great review, just wondering is it possible turn on and off AC charging by app with wifi? thanks

Great review! I just purchased the 767 with 2x200w solar panels. Trying to decide on ordering an expansion battery or another 767 unit. With my Anker credits its a difference of about $400cdn for me to buy a second 767. Would you have any thoughts on this? Thanks, Jake.

Do you think 2 of the rich solar 200 watt 12v panels would actually pull near 400 watts on a good clear day?

Very nice review , is it true that you can't use extension cords with this power station , read that somewhere and found it strange , did you try that , if not can you please ty it and let us know, Thanks and keep up the good work.

Hi Jason, thanks for the very comprehensive reviews. What an impressive body of work you have established here on YT in a very short time! I look forward to your videos. And thanks for sharing your spreadsheets!! I bought my 767 in March. Regarding the VOC 60 limitation, I have two questions... First, if Anker gets around to addressing this issue by increasing the VOC limit, how likely is it that the solution will take the form of a software upgrade versus a hardware change? Is it realistic to think that an Anker solution would be within eventual reach of us early adopter-customers with our existing devices? (This 60 VOC thing seems like such a poor decision in constructing a marvelous industrial-strength device loaded with features, and then holding customers ransom to proprietary and comparatively puny panels. Feels like someone in marketing prevailed over engineering common sense. Ouch!) Second, in attempting to find and select 180W panels to be used in various combinations of P&S, I find no mention in your review of the need for individual charge controllers for each panel. Is a charge controller warranted for each panel of the solution? (Possibly you have discussed this in another video.) Or can we just expect the inverter in the 767 to manage the cleansing/conditioning of the incoming power captured by the panels without any auxiliary controller? Please share your thoughts on this. Again, many thanks for all you do!

Does it support 240 VAC charging? Also, some outlet covers on the AC outputs would be nice.

Outstanding review, however I was wondering if you ran into two "serious" issues with your testing. 1. The issue with fluctuating power to window AC units. (This has supposedly been fix with a firmware update). 2. The problem of reversed wiring of the 4 120v outlets. Did you test these?

Great video. I am confused about UPS mode. So if you gave it plugged into the AC outlet, it will go into UPS mode (Bypass mode) and you can only draw 1440W from the outlet so it cannot charge the battery at the same time, or what will happen if you draw 2000W while it is plugged into the AC outlet? What will happen if you have it plug into the AC out bey set the charging to, I.E. 500W and you run the 2000W load at the same time? What i am trying to find out if it has pass through charging or not with either solar or AC charging. The 'Bypass mode' is confusing, it sounds like it has transfer switch that connect the AC outlet directly to the AC input when you have unit plugging into the AC outlet. Thanks.

Good review, thank you. Unit is a little expensive!

This unit is definitely compared to the delta Max 2000. Low voltage solar input does kinda suck but 1000 watts is nice input!

Hi,Did you check the polarity of the AC plugs , I've read 2 reviews on Amazon stating that the plugs were miswired hot and neutral backwards!!, Thanks.

I really like this unit. The one thing I don't get about these units is why they aren't designed to work exactly like a computer UPS when in UPS mode. If your computer UPS runs down its battery and shuts off, it will automatically restart once grid power is restored. This unit requires manually turning the AC outlets back on. I don't know why you can't have a setting in the firmware that says - for now you are a UPS and should behave the same way, including restoring passed through AC power to the outlets whenever AC power is restored.

Hi Jason, can you tell me what the specifications were (volts and amps) for your solar array you used to test the 767? Did you wired in a series parallel?

I just had two Anker 767 unit experience an under 1second mains power glitch. Each unit was backing up separate refrigerators at home, with one also backing up internet, wifi, and my 65” TV (we will call this 767 Unit B) Power saving mode was off on both units. The power glitch caused TV to turn off, which is normal for it. It would not turn on, so I went the the unit b 767 and noticed the AC outlets were off and Power saving light was on. The refrigerator it is backing up was also off. I switched AC Outlets on and the Refrigerator came on and the TV also worked. The other 767 seemed unaffected, but an hour later its AC out was off as was the other refrigerator (unit A). Has anyone seen a 767 drop AC outlets after any power short power failure? I opened a ticket with Anker.

Can you fast charge the Anker PowerHouse 767 from a Level 2 EV charging station through some sort of J1772 adapter?

Have you tested the Bougerv Rover 2000?

How long has the 767 been out in the marketplace? Also, any thoughts on doing an update on what issues you may have found with your 767?

After seeing this review and a couple others, I purchased my own Anker 767, but haven't bought any solar panels yet. I would really like to see your recommendations on solar panels specifically for this solar generator, besides the Anker solar panels you mentioned in this video. Also, I was really impressed with your testing thoroughness and explanations of your reasoning for the scores you gave. Would love to see a video that matches that thoroughness for the solar panels. My Anker 767 arrived last Friday and I want to get some solar panels ordered asap. I plan to mount the panels onto the roof of a camping trailer, but the trailer will be parked close enough to use the solar for charging the 767 while I'm at home as well as camping.

How do you connect this to your home circuit breaker?

Is 120v output vs 110v really make a difference when running a home fridge and a tv only

We’ve seen EV owners hook up inverters to their 12v’s and power small loads like the Anker 767 will do. My question is since the 767 has the inverter built in, could one theoretically use the solar DC input for the 767 as a way to recharge from an EV’s 12v? In other words, power goes out, use the 767 initially and if the outage persists, then hook it up to your EV to extend run time during the outage. Thoughts?

Urgent question here. I received my replacement 767 today and the AC outlets test OK (when using my outlet tester) when plugged into my house AC receptacle, which also tests "wired correctly." So, this 767 seems to be wired correctly. BUT, when I disconnect the power cord from the wall, to simulate a power failure, the tester shows "hot and neutral reversed." One red and one yellow light. Is my unit defective? I am not an electrician here....... Thanks for your input!

Hi, really good video. If it possible make a good 1 on 1 battle with Bluetti AC200MAX. I'M hesitated on this two unit. Thanks

Some DC barrel plugs instead of the second car socket would have been nicer.

I am looking for a product like this to plug into my fuse box with a safety switch shutting off the main power. If I shut off all 220 circuits would this power my house running only 110?

can you connect two anker power houses together like the eco delta pro series?
