Silo · Portable power stations
This silo is the 120 V fridge-and-network buy. Three named SKUs. Four buyer pages. Official manufacturer photographs. Dated specs. No rooftop. No Powerwall.
The fridge is 150 watts. The router is less than a lamp. That is the load this aisle carries. A portable power station is a lithium pack, an inverter, and outlets you can see. People search “solar generator.” The solar is a folding panel you aim by hand. The generator part is the inverter. Utility drops, you plug the refrigerator and the ONT into the case. You do not energize the whole service. You do not backfeed a dryer outlet.
One class in this aisle. About 2 kWh, 120 V, lithium iron phosphate. Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus (2,042.8 Wh, 3,000 W, 61.5 lb, $899). BLUETTI AC200L (2,048 Wh, 2,400 W, 62.4 lb, expandable to 8,192 Wh, $899). Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2 (2,048 Wh, 2,400 W, 4,000 W peak, 41.7 lb, up to 4 kWh, $999.99). Street prices came off the US manufacturer pages on August 26, 2026. Surge on Jackery and BLUETTI is blank. Those live pages were unclear or conflicting. We will not invent a 6,000 W Jackery peak.
Here’s the fork. A 240 V well or a split-phase air handler is not this hub’s job. The Anker 240 V fork is the F3800 in home batteries. A house that has to stay alive for days starts at whole-house generators. Daytime refill is a station plus portable solar panels. Name your load first.
New to this, read the silo in order. The buying guide is the math. Running watts, starting watts, watt-hours, chemistry, Voc, UPS, TT-30. The best-of hands each of the three cores a job. The vs page is lock-in. Extra packs, case weight, 120 V against the F3800, and the SolarSaga / SP200L / PS400 families. For home backup is the house. Fridge, ONT, CPAP, LEDs, no backfeed. Reviews sit under each SKU.
Specs on thehomebackup.com are a dated snapshot. Right now the date is August 26, 2026. A manufacturer page that was unclear or conflicting gets a blank cell. That is why Jackery and BLUETTI surge show an em dash in the table. Better an empty cell than an invented peak watt. Photographs are the manufacturers’ own. Write your three loads down before you open a cart.
