In a groundbreaking move, Jackery, a global leader in portable and eco-friendly power solutions, has announced the expansion of its flagship Plus series. The debut, which took place at the IFA 2023 consumer electronics fair in Berlin, introduced the world to the Explorer 300 Plus and Explorer 1000 Plus power stations. These portable energy hubs promise sustainable, reliable power generation, raising the bar for outdoor power solutions.
Portable Solar Generators Built for the Future
The Explorer 300 Plus is designed to be the most compact and lightweight unit in the Plus family, weighing a mere 3.75 kg. Despite its small size, this mini power station boasts an impressive 288 Wh and 300-Watt continuous power output. Tailored for outdoor enthusiasts, it easily fits in a backpack and is ideal for camping trips, picnics, and other adventures.
The unit’s design features a smart rounded casing and a retractable handle. The front panel offers five connection options, including two USB-C ports with 100 watts and 15 watts, a USB-A port with 15 watts, a 12-volt connection, and an earthed socket. What sets this model apart is its innovative 40-watt mini solar module, dubbed the SolarSaga 40 Mini. Waterproof and TÜV-Rheinland certified, the 1.25 kg photovoltaic pad can be folded to a minimal 25 x 30 cm size, yet opens up to catch 97 x 30 cm of solar radiation.
Extended Power Capabilities with Modular Design
The Explorer 1000 Plus is Jackery’s answer to high energy demands, packing a robust 1.26 kWh. The station’s capacity can be expanded up to a whopping 5 kWh with up to three additional battery packs. It operates quietly, emitting ≤30 decibels of noise, and offers seven connection options. With a lifespan exceeding 10 years under daily usage conditions, the Explorer 1000 Plus is not just powerful but also long-lasting.
Included with this model are two 100-watt solar modules, known as SolarSaga 100W, ensuring that users can harness renewable energy efficiently.
Advanced Safety and Monitoring Features
Jackery has put a significant focus on safety and sustainability. The Plus series features 12 BMS algorithms, offering protection against overcurrent, short circuit, deep discharge, overload, overvoltage, and overheating. The brand’s proprietary “ChargeShield” technology ensures fast yet safe charging, even in extreme temperatures up to 45℃. Via a dedicated app, users can monitor the live status of the device, bringing unparalleled transparency to portable power management.

The Explorer 300 Plus is retailing for £319, but a special promotion on Amazon offers it at £279 until September 11, 2023. The complete set, including the mini solar panel, is priced at £399. The Explorer 1000 Plus comes with a price tag of £1,149.
