Wellbots is offering two deals on the Jackery HomePower 3600 Plus right now. The generator alone is marked down to $1,699, but punch in the code CNET300J at checkout, and it drops further to $1,399. If you’re after the Solar Saga 500W X bundle, it’s listed at $2,399, which is down to $1,999 with the code CNET400J. Jackery is a brand that frequently shows up on our best portable power station list, which makes this a good one to buy while you can.
A reliable solar generator is useful in a variety of situations, such as power outages, camping trips, off-grid cabins or hurricane season prep. But the most popular way to use this portable power station? Keeping your fridge, lights and phone charged when the grid goes down, and you have no idea when it’s coming back.
You get 3,600 watts of output, 3,584 watt-hours of capacity and up to nine devices running simultaneously. It supports dual voltage in parallel, meaning it can handle both standard and heavy-duty appliances when you need the backup. It’s expandable up to 21-kilowatt-hours if you need even more juice.
The Solar Saga 500-watt panel pairs cleanly with the generator, pulling in enough solar energy for a full recharge in around 4 hours. The HomePower itself rolls on wheels with a telescopic handle, so moving it around isn’t a workout.
