Jackery Solar Generator 2000 v2: Explorer 2000 v2 + SolarSaga 500 X
The Jackery Solar Generator 2000 v2 pairs the Explorer 2000 v2, a 2,042 Wh LiFePO4 power station with 2,200 W of AC output, with the SolarSaga 500 X, Jackery’s 500 W bifacial folding panel. It is the current-generation replacement for the Explorer 2000 Plus + SolarSaga 500 X kit CSE Solar USA used to list: lighter (39.5 lb), faster to recharge (1.75 hours from the wall) and built on 4,000-cycle automotive-grade LFP cells. Use it for home essentials during an outage, RV and camping trips, or job-site power with daytime solar top-ups.

Solar input note: the Explorer 2000 v2 accepts up to 400 W of solar input across its two DC 8 mm ports, so the 500 X’s 500 W rating gives headroom in weaker light rather than a 500 W charge rate. Jackery sells this exact pairing as its “Explorer 2000 v2 + SolarSaga 500W” kit.
Compatibility
- Solar panels: SolarSaga 500 X (included), SolarSaga 200W and 100 series via the DC 8 mm ports.
- Expansion: the Explorer 2000 v2 is a standalone station and does not take expansion battery packs.
Who this bundle is for
Households that want plug-and-play backup for a refrigerator, router, lights and phones; RV, van and camping users who want a full-size panel; and contractors who need quiet 2,200 W power with a daytime solar top-up.
Frequently asked questions
How is this different from the old Explorer 2000 Plus kit?
The Explorer 2000 v2 is Jackery’s current 2 kWh model: about 39.5 lb versus 61.5 lb for the 2000 Plus, 1.75-hour wall charging and a 4,000-cycle LFP battery. It does not accept expansion batteries; if you need an expandable 2 kWh system, look at the HomePower 2000 Plus v2.
How fast does the SolarSaga 500 X charge the Explorer 2000 v2?
The station’s solar input is capped at 400 W, so in full sun the panel charges at up to 400 W. Jackery does not publish a charge time for this exact pairing; real-world time depends on sun strength, angle and temperature.
Can it run a refrigerator during an outage?
Yes. With 2,200 W of rated AC output and 4,400 W surge, the Explorer 2000 v2 handles a full-size refrigerator, Wi-Fi router, lights and small appliances; it switches to battery in under 20 ms when used as a UPS.
What is the warranty and how does shipping work?
Jackery covers the Explorer 2000 v2 with a 3-year manufacturer warranty and the SolarSaga 500 X with 5 years. CSE Solar USA is an Authorized Jackery Dealer; the kit ships free within the continental USA direct from Jackery.
