It’s the holiday season again, and you want to find something that checks the boxes for your loved ones. 

As we search for gifts to show friends and loved ones how much we care, many are also focusing on sustainable gift-giving. Minimizing waste and providing a sustainable energy solution as a Christmas present would be a creative yet practical idea – clean power from Jackery. With Jackery, you can share the warmth, share the power.

Jackery believes that solar power, as a renewable and clean energy source, is the solution to today's energy crisis. The need for a more user-friendly way of generating electricity gave rise to photovoltaic power, as opposed to traditional generators that are noisy, heavy and powered by diesel. Jackery’s products weigh less, and their energy is more efficient. And every single safety feature we can think of has been added. That’s why Jackery is now the top portable solar-generator brand in global retail sales, with more than two million units sold worldwide since 2018.

Featuring a stylish and silent design, Jackery’s most popular Explorer series and Solar Generator series have achieved huge success in the global market. Check out the four most popular models from Jackery.

Causing no noise (46dB), the product also features a battery management system (BMS) for ultra-long battery life. The Explorer 1000 lasts 10 years for one usage per week. The low self-discharge rate allows it to last 365 days from an 80% battery level, making it excellent for off-grid living or if the power goes out at home.

For the eco-conscious among us, portability alone isn’t enough when it comes to power – the source of that power must be renewable The Jackery Solar Generator 1000 meets that demand. It combines the Explorer 1000 Portable Power Station and SolarSaga 100 Solar Panels.

Solar Power Jackery

In 2012, a group of adventure-loving engineers founded Jackery with the mission of making electricity portable, clean, and outdoors-oriented. The California-based brand pioneered portable solar generators, offering green energy to everyone, everywhere. 

Jackery’s portable green generators meet all outdoor needs – from charging a cellphone or laptop to powering large devices such as electric cooking equipment, heaters and lights. It’s no wonder that Jackery generators consistently make Amazon’s Best Seller and Choice lists. Jackery has garnered 25 international design awards, including the CES Innovation Award and the Life Saving Solution of the Year Award.

Jackery has donated hundreds of generators to families in California, Florida and Kentucky affected by natural disasters. Beyond America, Jackery launched the "JackeryCare" initiative which works to strengthen local disaster prevention measures in Japan. 

As portable solar generators evolved from camping products to daily necessities and emergency backup equipment, Jackery has stayed true to its mission of doing what’s right for people and the environment. That’s why the company is partnering with the National Forest Foundation to plant 10,000 trees. Jackery will continue to empower more people to live low-carbon lifestyles and enable them to enjoy the benefits of clean energy.
