A: The Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500 v2 supports a maximum solar input power of 200W.

With a 100W solar panel: Up to two panels can be connected.
With a 200W solar panel: Only one panel can be connected.
Required accessories:
For one panel: No additional accessories are required. Connection is made directly via the included cable.
For two panels: The separately available “Jackery Solar Panel Connector” is required.
Important notes when connecting two solar modules:
To ensure compatibility and safe operation, both modules must meet the following criteria:
1. Same maximum output power
2. Same open-circuit voltage
3. Same operating voltage (nominal voltage)
Example of a compatible combination:
JS-100C (100 W / 20 V operating voltage / 24.8 V)
JS-100F (100 W / 20 V operating voltage / 24.8 V)
Different models can only be used together if all three electrical specifications match.

Q: How do I activate power saving mode?

A: To prevent battery discharge through unused outputs, the energy-saving mode can be manually activated:
When activated: The outputs automatically switch off after 6 hours of low power consumption.
When deactivated: DC and AC outputs do not switch off automatically.
If activated and neither charging nor power output is detected: The device switches off automatically after 6 hours.
