Jackery Portable Generators
Jackery Portable Generators: The Full Explorer and HomePower Lineup
A Jackery portable generator in this collection spans from the compact Explorer 500 V2 at 512Wh up through the HP3600 Plus and 5000 Plus, the latter reaching 7,400W output with a full 20kWh whole-home backup kit available. This is Jackery's complete current range, covering the established Explorer series alongside the newer HomePower line, giving buyers options across nearly every capacity and price point.
Explorer Series: 500 V2 Through 3000 V2
The Explorer 500 V2 and 1000 V2 suit lighter use, camping, tailgating, or short outages covering a handful of devices, with the 500 V2 also available bundled with a SolarSaga 100W panel as the Jackery Solar Generator 500. The 1500 V2, 2000 V2, and 3000 V2 step up progressively in capacity, with the 3000 V2 offering solar bundles up to two 500W panels and a dedicated Trolley accessory for easier repositioning given its larger size.
HomePower Line: Built for Home Backup
The HomePower 2000 Plus v2 and HomePower 3600 Pro Max represent Jackery's home-backup-focused tier, sitting alongside the Explorer series with their own solar and battery pack bundle options. The HomePower 3600 Pro Max at 3,584Wh offers a battery pack expansion option, letting buyers increase capacity without replacing the base unit.
HP3600 Plus and 5000 Plus: Whole-Home Capacity
At the top of the lineup, the Jackery portable generator HP3600 Plus and 5000 Plus deliver serious output, with the 5000 Plus reaching 7,400W and offering an Explorer 5000 Plus 20kWh Whole Home Backup Kit for buyers wanting comprehensive coverage. Both units support Smart Transfer Switch integration, letting them connect to a home's electrical panel similarly to how a standby generator's transfer switch operates, and extra battery options extend runtime further for buyers planning around extended outages.
Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between the Explorer series and the HomePower line?
The Explorer series covers Jackery's broadest range from light portable use through higher capacity, while the HomePower line, the 2000 Plus v2 and 3600 Pro Max, is positioned more specifically around home backup with its own bundle configurations. In practice there's overlap in capacity between comparable tiers of each line, so the choice often comes down to which specific bundle options and price point fit your situation best rather than a strict functional difference.
Do I need the Smart Transfer Switch with my Explorer 5000 Plus?
If you're running individual devices by plugging them directly into the unit, the Smart Transfer Switch isn't required. It becomes necessary for whole-home integration, automatically managing which circuits draw backup power from the unit rather than requiring you to connect appliances manually during an outage. For genuine whole-house coverage, like the 20kWh Whole Home Backup Kit option, the transfer switch is a core part of that setup rather than an optional add-on.
Is the Trolley accessory necessary for the larger units like the 3000 V2 or 5000 Plus?
It's not required, but it becomes genuinely useful at these larger sizes, since units in the 3000 V2 to 5000 Plus range carry meaningful weight, especially once paired with extra batteries. The Trolley makes repositioning the unit around a garage or storage area considerably easier for one person, and is worth adding if you expect to move the unit regularly rather than setting it up once in a fixed location.
