Anker SOLIX C1000: The LFP Upgrade
The Anker SOLIX C1000 represents Anker's move to LFP chemistry after the older 757 PowerHouse used NMC. With 1,056Wh of LFP capacity and 2,400W AC output, it sits squarely in the competitive mid-range segment against the EcoFlow Delta 2 and Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro.
What Changed from the 757 PowerHouse
The upgrade to LFP chemistry is significant. Where the 757 PowerHouse was rated for 500 cycles, the SOLIX C1000 delivers 3,000+ cycles - enough for daily use for nearly a decade. Anker also improved the HyperFlash charging to reach 80% in just 58 minutes, competitive with EcoFlow's best charging speeds.
Performance
The 2,400W AC output handles virtually any household appliance short of a full HVAC system. We ran a microwave, electric kettle, and laptop simultaneously without issue. Runtime on a 60W fridge load: 14.2 hours. The 1,000W solar input (via two inputs) allows full charge in approximately 2 hours of good sunlight with appropriate panels.
App and Smart Features
The Anker app has improved substantially with the SOLIX line. Charge scheduling, solar priority mode, and remote monitoring all work reliably. The app lacks some of EcoFlow's sophistication but covers all practical use cases well.
Value vs Competition
At around $999, the SOLIX C1000 competes directly with the EcoFlow Delta 2 ($999) and Jackery Explorer 1000 Pro ($999). The EcoFlow edges ahead on app quality and ecosystem; the Jackery is slightly lighter. The SOLIX C1000 wins on AC output (2,400W vs 1,000W for Jackery) and matches EcoFlow on most metrics. For a detailed comparison, check our EcoFlow Delta 2 vs Jackery 1000 Pro analysis. Strong value overall.
Final Score: 8.6/10
The Anker SOLIX C1000 is the best version of an Anker power station yet. LFP chemistry, fast charging, and solid app make it a genuine competitor to EcoFlow and Jackery at the same price point. If you're considering other models in the range, see our complete Anker SOLIX buying guide. Recommended for buyers who want LFP reliability without paying the EcoFlow premium.
