Growatt INFINITY 1500 vs DJI Power 1000
Side-by-side on the specs that decide it — surge, capacity, runtime and price.
Both models' specs verified against manufacturer listings · Last updated
The short answer
DJI Power 1000 costs $100 less. Whether that gap is worth closing depends on what you need to run.
- Growatt INFINITY 1500 holds 48% more energy (1512Wh vs 1024Wh), so it runs the same load proportionally longer.
- DJI Power 1000 has 1400W more surge headroom (4400W vs 3000W) — that decides whether a fridge, pump or AC compressor will actually start.
- DJI Power 1000 is 9.5 lb lighter (28 lb vs 37.5 lb).
- DJI Power 1000 is rated for 4,000 cycles vs 3,000 — meaningful if you cycle it daily.
A capable mid-size that flies under the radar. Solid 2,000W output and fast charging, let down mainly by a shorter warranty than the big brands.
Best for: Value hunters who want 1.5kWh and don't need the longest warranty.
Where it falls short:
- 3,000W surge is modest for the output
- 3-year warranty vs 5 from the majors
DJI's first power station is a genuinely strong 1kWh unit — 2,200W output and a 4,400W surge put it ahead of most rivals its size, though the ecosystem leans toward DJI's own drone and camera kit.
Best for: Content creators and drone operators already in the DJI ecosystem.
Where it falls short:
- 400W solar input is modest
- Accessory ecosystem is DJI-centric
