EcoFlowDELTA 3 PlusVSAnker SOLIXC1000 Gen 2
Both store 1,024Wh and document 10ms transfer behavior. The DELTA 3 Plus accepts up to 1,000W of solar across two inputs and provides two 140W USB-C ports; the C1000 Gen 2 is lighter and lists 200W more continuous AC output.
The documented differences
Green marks the numeric advantage for that row only. Connector and transfer-mode rows deliberately have no winner.
| Specification | EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus | Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2 | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1,024WhTie | 1,024WhTie | Higher label capacity; usable energy is lower. |
| Continuous AC output | 1,800W | 2,000WAdvantage | Ordinary continuous output, not a lifting mode. |
| Maximum solar input | 1,000WAdvantage | 600W | A ceiling, not proof that a panel array is compatible. |
| Published weight | 12.5kg | 11.3kgAdvantage | Lower is marked as the metric advantage. |
| USB-C output | 2 × 140W | 140W + 20W shared | Port count and per-port ceiling both matter. |
| Solar path | 2 × XT60i | XT60i | Neither connector is universally better. |
| Transfer mode | 10ms standby UPS | 10ms transfer | Verify whether your exact load tolerates the transfer. |
Choose for the job,
not the badge.
These recommendations use the documented specifications above. They are not physical test results.
EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus
Choose DELTA 3 Plus when dual solar inputs, the 1,000W total solar ceiling or two high-power USB-C outputs matter most.
Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2
Choose C1000 Gen 2 when lower carrying weight and 2,000W continuous AC output fit the setup better than the additional solar and USB-C capacity.
The model name is not the whole product.
The cited specifications describe regional hardware, including a US 120V C1000 Gen 2. Confirm AC voltage, sockets, output limits and included solar cables for the country of purchase.
