At a Glance
This comparison pairs a midsize portable unit against a high-capacity home backup system, so the right pick depends entirely on how much power you actually need. The Pecron E3600LFP delivers 3600W of running power and 3072 Wh of capacity, nearly triple the SOLIX C1000's 1056 Wh and double its 1800W output. That gap shows up clearly in device coverage: the E3600LFP powered 47 out of 53 tested devices compared to 38 for the C1000.
Surge capacity tells a similar story, with the Pecron hitting 7000W versus 2400W on the Anker. Solar input on the E3600LFP maxes out at 2400W, four times the C1000's 600W ceiling. The tradeoff is weight and portability.
At 28.4 lbs, the C1000 is less than half the Pecron's 79.4 lbs, making it far easier to grab for camping, tailgating, or emergency kits.
