The Anker Powerhouse 767 vs Anker SOLIX F3800
Anker came out with their new line of powerful solar generators around April 2024, replacing the old models (Anker PowerHouse 555, Anker PowerHouse 757, and Anker PowerHouse 767) with new ones (The Anker SOLIX F series). So what's the difference? Let's take a quick gander at the improvements and spec comparisons to these exciting new portable solar generators.
Anker PowerHouse 767
The old model Anker 767 PowerHouse was designed to support the adventuring camper, off-gridder, and RV-goer household but was limited in it's ability to support electric vehicles (EV's) and backup home power. It was also limited in it's capacity for additional backup power (expansion batteries limited to one as opposed to 6 with the SOLIX).
Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station
The Anker SOLIX F3800 Portable Power Station has all the Anker PowerHouse 767 capabilities and more! Sporting a 6000W, 120V/240V split AC charge, this portable solar generator can run just about any device/appliance for longer. Not to mention it's powerful backup smart home kit that kicks in immediately in a power outage!
