Now is a good time to buy a portable power station + solar panel combo, with significant discounts available. 10ways users generally love Anker, so we’ve focused on three of their best options below, although there are plenty of alternatives from other brands too, which we’ve linked to in our Amazon Shop at the bottom.

Here’s a quick comparison of the three options we’d consider right now, from a small portable setup through to something capable of serious home backup.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Part 1 - Why would I ever buy one?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Portable power stations aren’t just for emergencies. Having a big rechargeable battery with normal plug sockets can be surprisingly useful:

🍳 Cook food / hot drinks etc on days out in the back of the car instead of spending a fortune eating out, powering things like a small air fryer, induction hob or travel kettle, subject to the power station’s output.

🏕️ Camping & off-grid trips to run lights, fridges, coolers, pumps, laptops, cameras and other equipment without needing a campsite hookup.

⚡ Power cuts to keep your Wi-Fi, phones, lights and other essentials running when the mains goes down.

🔌 UPS / backup power for computers, networking equipment and other compatible devices, helping avoid sudden shutdowns and lost work. Some may also be suitable for certain medical devices, but always check the device requirements and UPS transfer time, and never rely on a consumer power station as the sole backup for life-critical equipment.

🏠 Home backup with the larger models capable of powering much more demanding appliances, from fridges and freezers to microwaves and kettles.

☀️ Free power from the sun by connecting a solar panel, useful when camping or during a longer outage where you can’t simply recharge from the mains.

🚗 Keep one in the car for photography, fishing, sporting events, picnics or anywhere else you might want proper mains power away from home.

🛠️ Power tools anywhere to run or recharge drills, saws, sanders and other tools when you’re working somewhere without easy access to a mains socket.

Part 2 - Explain the figures
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Capacity (Wh) tells you how much energy the battery can store. For example, a typical 2,000W kettle running continuously for an hour would use around 2,000Wh, although in reality you only run a kettle for a few minutes at a time. By comparison, a typical tablet battery stores roughly 30Wh, so a 1,000Wh power station theoretically contains enough energy for around 30 full tablet charges. In practice it’ll be a little less due to conversion and charging losses but this gives you a rough idea.

Output (W) tells you how powerful an appliance it can run, so a 2,000W power station can handle much more demanding equipment than a 300W model.

The solar panel wattage (W) gives you an idea of how quickly you can potentially put energy back into the battery using sunlight, the higher the number, the quicker it can potentially recharge.

Part 3 - So what's available right now? What should I buy?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

🔋 Anker SOLIX C300X, 288Wh / 300W + 60W solar
£284 (was £369)
➜ https://amzlink.to/az0pLoyFfMT3W (aff ad)
The compact option. Ideal for phones, laptops, cameras, lights and other smaller devices while camping, travelling or during a power cut.
✅ GOOD: Small and portable, cheapest option, plenty for electronics and smaller devices.
❌ NOT SO GOOD: Only 288Wh capacity and 300W output means no kettles, air fryers or other high-powered appliances.

___

⚡ Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2, 1,024Wh / 2,000W + 100W solar
£591.84 (was £739.00)
➜ https://amzlink.to/az0p79LcbyaUc (aff ad)
The all-rounder. Over 3.5x the capacity of the C300X with a huge 2,000W output, so it can run many proper household appliances.
✅ GOOD: 2,000W output, 1,024Wh capacity, still reasonably portable and capable of running much more demanding equipment.
❌ NOT SO GOOD: Less than half the battery capacity of the S2000, despite currently costing only around £124 less.

___

🏠 Anker SOLIX S2000, 2,010Wh / 1,500W + 100W solar
£715.35 (was £1,378.00)
➜ https://amzlink.to/az0IyiuWqseqN (aff ad)
The big battery option. Almost twice the capacity of the C1000 Gen 2, making it particularly attractive for longer power cuts, caravans and extended off-grid use.

✅ GOOD: Huge 2,010Wh capacity, almost twice the C1000 Gen 2 for only around £124 more at these prices.
❌ NOT SO GOOD: Bigger and heavier, and despite the larger battery its 1,500W output is actually lower than the C1000 Gen 2’s 2,000W.

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
Part 4 - So which one? What other options are available? What about other brands that aren't Anker?
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
For most people, the choice comes down to how portable you need it to be, what you want to power and how long you need it to last:

🎒 C300X = Small & portable, best for electronics and days out
⚡ C1000 Gen 2 = Best all-rounder, with the highest 2,000W output
🔋 S2000 = Biggest battery, best when longer runtime matters

We’ve focused on Anker above because they’re consistently popular with 10ways users, but they’re certainly not the only option. EcoFlow, BLUETTI and Jackery all make alternatives worth considering, and sometimes the better deal will simply depend on what’s discounted at the time.

If none quite fits what you need, there are smaller power banks for simply keeping phones and tablets charged, right through to much larger expandable home-backup systems capable of storing several kWh.

💬 Tell us what you’d actually want to power and for roughly how long, and we’ll try to point you towards the right size rather than simply telling you to buy the biggest one.
