Anker SOLIX F2600 solar panel setup

The Anker SOLIX F2600 takes up to 1,000 W of solar through one solar input (11–60 V, 20 A, 1,000 W). The quickest refill from a maker panel on sale today: 1 × Jackery SolarSaga 500 X, 1 panel on the solar input, which brings it to 500 W and refills its 2,560 Wh in about 5.1 h of full sun.

The solar inputs

solar input 11 to 60 V, 20 A max, 1,000 W
All inputs together1,000 W

Two panels in series add their voltages; strings in parallel add their currents. A panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc) rises on cold, bright mornings, so each arrangement below is checked with the panel's own temperature coefficient, or -0.35% per °C where the maker publishes none, at -10 °C (14 °F). Strings in parallel are kept within the input's current figure; a single string that could give more is held back by the input itself.

Every maker panel we track, on the F2600

11 of the 18 panels fit, fastest refill first. Each uses every input that can take it; the hours are full sun, from empty.

"Full sun to refill" is the ideal floor: the station taking its input limit every hour. Panels rarely deliver their rating, so the 70% column is closer to a good day, and a usable day holds four to six hours of full sun in most of the US. Panels whose maker does not name an MC4 plug are counted one to an input, since they link to others only through the maker's own adapters.

Cables between panel and station

Anker SOLIX does not list a solar cable in the station's own box, so check the panel's box or buy the cable for its plug.

What a day of sun puts back

Watt-hours back in a day, at a 70% panel yield and the station's input limit. Winter in the northern US gives about 3 hours of full sun, a clear summer day in the Southwest 6 or more.

Check another panel on the F2600

Type the figures from the panel's label or spec sheet (they are given at 25 °C). The check assumes MC4 plugs, so panels can go in series or parallel.

Enter the four figures to see how many of these panels the F2600 takes, and how to wire them.
