At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers weighing serious home backup capacity against a lighter, more portable solar generator. The Delta Pro delivers 3600W of running power and 3600 Wh of battery capacity, nearly doubling the Yeti 1500X on both counts.

It also powered 47 out of 53 tested devices versus 43 for the Yeti, earning a higher compatibility score of 95 to 82.5. LFP chemistry gives the Delta Pro roughly 3500 charge cycles, seven times the Yeti's 500-cycle NMC rating, which translates to a significantly longer usable lifespan.

Solar input caps at 1600W on the Delta Pro compared to 600W on the Yeti 1500X. The tradeoff is weight and bulk: the Delta Pro tips the scales at 99.2 lbs, more than double the Yeti's 45.6 lbs, making it far less practical to grab and go.
