EcoFlowDELTA 2VSAnker SOLIXC1000
Both list 1,800W continuous output and broad XT60-style solar input. The DELTA 2 is lighter; the C1000 adds a slightly larger battery, a 600W solar ceiling and a documented 20ms transfer mode in the cited regional guide.
The documented differences
Green marks the numeric advantage for that row only. Connector and transfer-mode rows deliberately have no winner.
| Specification | EcoFlow DELTA 2 | Anker SOLIX C1000 | Interpretation |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rated capacity | 1,024Wh | 1,056WhAdvantage | Higher label capacity; usable energy is lower. |
| Continuous AC output | 1,800WTie | 1,800WTie | Ordinary continuous output, not a lifting mode. |
| Maximum solar input | 500W | 600WAdvantage | A ceiling, not proof that a panel array is compatible. |
| Published weight | 12kgAdvantage | 12.9kg | Lower is marked as the metric advantage. |
| USB-C output | 2 × 100W | 100W + 30W | Port count and per-port ceiling both matter. |
| Solar path | XT60 / XT60i | XT60 / XT60i | Neither connector is universally better. |
| Transfer mode | EPS; verify load tolerance | 20ms 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 2
Choose the DELTA 2 when lower published weight, a familiar XT60 path and a balanced general-purpose specification matter most.
Anker SOLIX C1000
Choose the C1000 when the higher solar ceiling and its documented transfer behavior matter more than the extra weight.
The model name is not the whole product.
The cited C1000 guide is for a UK/EU version, while DELTA 2 outlet counts and AC hardware also vary by region. Verify the exact local unit. For Australian use, verify the 230V/50Hz Type I model code, RCM evidence, responsible supplier and included leads for both units before treating either as a candidate.
