Anker SOLIX S5000 + 4 RICH SOLAR MEGA 250 PRO ONYX Panels | 1,000W Solar Kit

Put a 1,000W rigid solar array on a sunny rack or ground mount and keep your Anker SOLIX S5000 where it’s easy to reach. This AllProGenerators kit combines the 5,024Wh, 120/240V S5000 with four RICH SOLAR MEGA 250 PRO ONYX 250W black panels. It uses both solar inputs, so each pair has a dedicated run. Two free 50-foot extension sets give you room to place the array away from the station.

What’s included

• One Anker SOLIX S5000 with its factory accessories, including the High-PV solar adapter.
• Four RICH SOLAR MEGA 250 PRO ONYX 250W black rigid solar panels, model RS-M250PB.
• Two free RICH SOLAR 50-foot, 10 AWG red/black solar extension sets. Each set has one red and one black lead.
• A pair of RICH SOLAR solar Y-branch connectors and a compatible solar-to-XT60i lead for the Low-PV input.

Best use cases

• Cabin power and selected 120/240V loads. Use the battery for lights, a refrigerator and communications gear after sunset. Check a well pump’s startup and running demand before relying on it. Hardwired loads need compatible transfer equipment installed by a qualified electrician.
• Detached workshops and farm outbuildings. Keep the S5000 close to the tools you use and place the four rigid panels on a rack where they have unobstructed sunlight. Stagger high-demand tool starts so their surge loads stay within the station’s limits.
• Home outage preparation. Set up the array in a sunny spot so it can replace part of the energy used by refrigeration, lights and internet equipment. The S5000 can also charge from AC when utility power is available.
• Long stays at a remote site. The two-input setup gives you separate solar runs for the two panel pairs. If you plan to add BP5000 batteries later, size the charging plan to the energy you use each day as well as your battery capacity.

How the four-panel array works

The four panels are divided into two independent 500W pairs. The High-PV input uses two panels in series with the factory High-PV solar adapter. The Low-PV input uses two panels in parallel with the included Y-branches and solar-to-XT60i lead. Each input has its own red-and-black extension set. The table below shows the pair’s voltage and current under standard test conditions.

Keep the two input runs separate. Four of these panels in one series string reach 178.8V open circuit under standard test conditions, above the High-PV input limit. A qualified installer should verify cold-corrected open-circuit voltage, polarity, connector compatibility, mounting and any site-required protection before connection.

Frequently asked questions

Why does this S5000 kit come with four panels?

The S5000 can use separate High-PV and Low-PV solar inputs. With a 500W pair on each input, this kit provides 1,000W of rated panel capacity and more daytime recharging potential than a single pair.

How much can the array recharge on a sunny day?

As a planning example, 750W of average combined panel output for four hours is about 3kWh before wiring and conversion losses. Actual output depends on the season, shade, orientation, cell temperature and the station’s charging conditions.

Do I get one 50-foot cable set or two?

The kit includes two free 50-foot red/black sets. Each input receives its own pair, with one lead per polarity. Each set gives roughly 50 feet of reach from its panel pair toward the station.

Can the S5000 run 240V loads?

The S5000 offers 120/240V split-phase AC and up to 4,500W continuous output. Match the appliance to the correct outlet, running draw and startup demand. A compatible transfer setup is required for hardwired circuits.

What do I need to mount the panels?

The panels are rigid and have mounting holes. Choose racking, anchors and any site-specific electrical protection for your surface and local conditions. Mounts and installation are sold separately.

Can I add battery capacity later?

The S5000 supports up to five Anker SOLIX BP5000 expansion batteries. Work out your expected daily solar input and load before sizing the expanded system.
