✅ Specs verified against the manufacturer's official listing — source · Last checked
Our verdict
1264Wh with 4000W surge and expandability — a more capable unit than the 1000 v2 for $100 more, if you can accept the extra weight.
Best for: Buyers who want a 1kWh unit they can grow into a larger system.
What we like
- 4000W surge beats the 1000 v2's 3000W
- Expandable, unlike the 1000 v2
- 800W solar input is double the v2's
Where it falls short
- 32 lb vs the v2's 23.8 lb
- 2000W output is overkill for its capacity
