How it scores
The rating comes from 8 measured or published factors, each scored 0-100 against fixed reference points for its size. How we rank explains each one.
Independent capacity tests
Usable energy delivered from a full charge through the AC outlets, as measured by independent reviewers. Inverter losses mean no station delivers its full rated capacity.
| Tested by | Usable AC energy | Of rated | Conditions |
|---|---|---|---|
| The Solar Lab | - | 75% | 2,275W load from full to shutoff; first run stopped at 36 min with an overheating warning, retest after calibration ran 40.5 min. Measured idle draw about 13.6W and a 1 h 21 min AC recharge. |
