Value

The best solar generator for the money is the BLUETTI Elite 300: $0.40 per Wh and about 6.6 cents per lifetime kWh. 15 models ranked by price and cycle life.

The best solar generator under $1000 is the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: 2,048Wh, 2,400W and 800W solar for $999.99. Plus DELTA 3 Max and Elite 200 V2.

Is a solar generator worth it? Used monthly, a 2kWh unit covers its gap over a budget gas generator in about 1.5 years. Worked math, caveats, verdict.
