What's good
- 900 W solar input, among the highest in the 1 kWh class, genuinely solar-sustainable
- 5-year warranty
- 3,600 W surge starts stubborn motor loads
What's not
- Only 2 AC outlets
- Goal Zero's Home Integration Kit page doesn't list this LFP model yet. Confirm compatibility before planning a transfer-switch setup
Our verdict
The pick when solar is the plan rather than the accessory: 900 watts of panel input can refill 1 kWh in a good day of sun. If you'll only ever wall-charge it, the other 1 kWh units do the same job.
