Solar panels for the Anker SOLIX F2000

Written by Ian Schneider·Solar & Off-Grid Tester

Anker has sold this station under two names. The PowerHouse 767 and the SOLIX F2000 are one unit, model A1780, and the solar socket is the same on both. One XT60, the yellow DC plug, rated for 11 to 60 volts and 1000 W. Thirty-one of the forty-one panels we track publish a voltage, and all thirty-one come in under 60.

The socket has two speeds. From 11 to 32 volts it takes 10 amps. From 32 to 60 it takes 20. Most 200 W folding panels read under 32 on the label, so one of them on its own is in the slower band. Wire two in series, one panel's lead into the next so their voltages add, and the pair reads twice as tall. Most of the folding-panel sets further down are built as two pairs in series.

Behind the socket is 2048 Wh, and no set we track fills the input. The closest is three of Renogy's 590 W rigid panels, with the battery full in a little over two hours of good sun. One 200 W folder on its own needs about fourteen. At 67.2 pounds this is a station I'd set down once. On my deck the panels would move with the sun and the F2000 would not.

Anker's product page has a Max Solar Input tile, and on the day we read it the tile said 0 W. The spec table lower down knows better.

The door

Every panel we track, lined up at the SOLIX F2000's solar input

Every panel we track with a published voltage, stood in a line by that voltage. The figure is the open-circuit voltage, Voc on the back label, what a panel reads in sun with nothing connected to it. The black line is 60 V, the most the F2000's socket will take. Anker's spec row stops there and so does every bar.

The pale cap on each bar is the extra voltage a cold morning adds, about 10% at −10 °C. Cold glass makes volts. The tallest bar is Renogy's 590 W rigid at 52.63 V on the label, and the cap leaves it under the line. On a January morning on my deck I'd expect the Fluke to agree with that cap, give or take.

There is a second line this chart cannot draw, at 32 V. Below it the socket takes 10 amps, above it 20. A bar that stops short of 32 is a panel the socket holds to the slower band when it works alone. Two of those in series read as one bar twice the height, and the 60 V limit is on the total. Add the bars yourself before wiring that way.

Hover a bar for the panel's name. If you own a panel that isn't here, type the Voc off its label into the field and the chart finds it a place in the line.

A day on solar

How long the SOLIX F2000 takes to charge on solar

Two hours, with the socket at its full 1000 W. No set we track gets it there, so the tick sits a little ahead of anything on the list. The nearest is three of Renogy's 590 W rigid panels at 874 W, a little over two hours. Three Jackery SolarSaga 500 X folders deliver 834 W and take two and a half.

Carry one 100 W folder and the sun has about twenty-eight hours of work ahead of it, because 72 W is what that panel delivers in practice. A 200 W folder delivers about 144 W and halves the wait to about fourteen hours.

A good day has 3 to 6 hours of sun that strong. Fourteen hours is several of those days back to back. Twenty-eight is a week of clear weather, and the pines take a slice off each of those days on my deck. The system builder turns the hours into days for your state and your month.

Every panel that fits

Solar panels compatible with the SOLIX F2000

Thirty-one fit, and Anker's own 440 W rigid is among them. For each one: the cable that gets it to the XT60 socket, what a single panel delivers in good sun, and the most the F2000 will take from a set. Eleven want an MC4-to-XT60 lead, MC4 being the weatherproof pair of plugs on the back of most rigid panels and many folders. Four Jackery panels want DC8020-to-XT60, Jackery's barrel plug, and three want Anderson-to-XT60, Anderson being the grey plug on several of Jackery's folders. One, EcoFlow's 125 W modular rigid, ends in an XT60 already. Anker's page shows a What's in the Box list, and it belongs to a different station, the C1000 Gen 2, so we could not read the F2000's. Budget for the lead. Sorted by delivered watts.

Own a panel that isn't in the line-up?

Type its voltage into the door chart above for the height test, then put the rest of the label into the panel checker, already set to the SOLIX F2000, for current and plug too. Or build the whole system to see how it keeps up where you live.

The plain answers

How long does the SOLIX F2000 take to charge on solar?

One 100 W panel delivers about 72 W in good sun and refills the 2048 Wh battery from empty in about 28.4 hours.

One 200 W panel delivers about 144 W in good sun and refills the 2048 Wh battery from empty in about 14.2 hours.

At its 1000 W solar limit it refills in about 2 hours. More panel watts than that won't charge it any faster.

A day gives three to six hours of sun that good, depending on season and place, so one 100 W panel takes 5 to 10 days to fill it. The system builder works it out for your state and month.

What adapter does the SOLIX F2000 need for solar?

None, if the panel's plug is XT60: EcoFlow 125W Bifacial Modular plugs straight in.

The cables the other panels need: MC4 to XT60 (11 panels), DC8020 to XT60 (4 panels), Anderson to XT60 (3 panels) and DC5521 to XT60 (2 panels).

10 panels don't have a named plug from their maker, so check the lead before you buy a cable.

Can you use non-Anker solar panels with the SOLIX F2000?

Yes. What decides it is the panel's voltage and plug, not the brand. 31 panels from Renogy, Jackery, Anker SOLIX, EcoFlow, BLUETTI, Eco-Worthy and Rich Solar work with it, as long as the panel stays under 60 V on a cold morning and starts above 11 V.

The strongest single panels here are the Renogy 590W N-Type Bifacial (425 W delivered) and the Jackery SolarSaga 500 X (360 W delivered).

Can you connect two solar panels to the SOLIX F2000?

Yes, joined into one input with a series or parallel cable.

Don't wire two BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible panels in series: together they would pass its 60 V limit. Parallel them instead.

Past 1000 W delivered, more panels only help on cloudy days.

What is the SOLIX F2000's solar input?

XT60 Input: 11–60 V, up to 20 A, 1000 W.

Input limits from Anker's documents, checked 2026-09-18 (source). Delivered watts assume 72% of the panel's rating in good sun.
