Solar generators are more and more being utilized in our daily lives, bringing added convenience to off-grid living, camping, home backup, disaster relief, RV living, and more. Since its inception, FOSSiBOT has released portable power stations of various levels, paired with solar panels to generate and store clean, renewable power. FOSSiBOT F800, FOSSiBOT F2400 and FOSSiBOT F3600.
Based on its names, we can clearly identify its main features: 800W AC output, 2400W AC output, 3600W AC output for the 3 models, satisfying different needs.
So, which solar generator best fits your requirement? Before selecting a solar generator, there are several factors you need to consider:
- Battery capacity(WH/KWH)
- Constant output and maximum output(watt)
- Solar panel input power(how many solar panels needed at most)
- Charging method(besides solar)
- Recharging time(by solar panel and by other methods)
- Battery chemical(LiFePO4/Ternary /other)
- Quality
- Lifespan
- Cost
- Size, weight, portability
- Others...
Based on different user requirements, FOSSiBOT has launched three models of portable energy storage units. To help you quickly know the 3 models, we have listed some detailed information for them below.
A. Best for outdoor activities, camping, etc. - FOSSiBOT F800+200Wsolar panel
B. Best for RV living, power outages, off-grid living, sheds - FOSSiBOT F2400+200W/420W Solar Panel
C. Best for disaster relief, power outages, off-grid living, professional work, luxury camping - FOSSiBOT F3600+SP420 Solar Panel

From the above tables, it’s obviously that if you only need a portable power station for home appliances with lower power, then F800 is enough. But for those high power needed appliances, you still need a large capacity, high output power portable power station. FOSSiBOT F800/F2400/ F3600 covers entry-level, large-capacity, and super high-capacity top-level needs, meeting all different types of usage requirements.
There some common features of FOSSiBOT portable power stations, all the 3 models applies FOSSiBOT bi-directional fast charging technology. With one cable, you can realize super fast full recharge in 1.5 hrs by AC+solar panels. This technology not only result in super fast charging but also saves size and weight for the machine as it combines the inverter with the machine board itself. The 3 products all use LiFePO4 battery which is known as its high safety, super long lifespan. You can use it for more than 10 years until it reaches to 80% capacity. Except for F800, F2400 and F3600 both features a physical adjustable input power knob which allows you to recharge the machine in different input power and different speed.
All the 3 models supports solar panels and input power superposition. For example, F3600 EU version, it supports 2200W AC charge and 2000W solar charge. When you charge the machine with AC and solar panels simultaneously, the max input power can reach up to 4200W. FOSSiBOT released 2 solar panels, SP200 and SP420. SP200 is suitable for all the 3 models while SP420 is only suitable for F2400 and F3600. The combination of portable power station and solar panels generates solar power.it not only saves a lot of energy bills for you, but also green power for the earth.
What do you mainly need the solar generators for? Save bills? For home backup? Or for camping out and RV living? Pick the one you need from FOSSiBOT.
