Battery capacityUsable runtime scales with watt-hours. A 1,000 Wh station runs a 100 W load for roughly 8–9 hours once inverter losses are counted. 3840 Wh 4096 Wh 25%
Continuous AC outputThe rated (continuous) inverter output decides which appliances you can plug in. We use the rated figure, not surge or 'boost' modes. 6000 W 4000 W 20%
Max solar inputHigher solar input means faster recharging off-grid, if you have enough panels to use it. 3200 W 2600 W 15%
