What is the maximum number of solar panels that can be connected to the Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500 v2? What accessories are required? Can different panel models be mixed?
The Jackery Portable Power Station Explorer 500 v2 supports a maximum solar input of 200W.
- With 100W solar panels: up to 2 panels can be connected.

Important notes when connecting two solar panels: To ensure compatibility and safe operation, both panels must meet the following criteria:
1.Same maximum output power
2.Same Open Circuit Voltage
3.Same operating voltage (rated voltage)
Example of compatible combination:
JS-100C (100W / 20V operating / 24.8V)

Different models can be used together only if all three electrical specifications match.
If I purchase the Explorer 500 v2 + SolarSaga Solar Panel bundle, do I need to buy a DC charging cable separately?
No. The DC solar charging cable is included with the SolarSaga solar panel in the bundle, and the solar panel will be shipped seperatly.
Are the solar panel and power station shipped together when purchasing a solar generator bundle?
If you purchased a bundle, the solar panel and power station are typically shipped separately. To ensure safe and efficient delivery, we package products individually based on type. Therefore, delivery times may vary. You may receive one package first—the rest usually arrive within 1–3 business days. If you haven’t received the complete set after this period, please contact the Jackery support team. We’ll be happy to assist and provide tracking information.
How do I connect the Explorer 500 v2 to my SolarSaga panels?
The solar panel’s output cable comes with a conversion adapter. Depending on the panel model, you may need to attach or remove this adapter before connecting to the power station.
Remove the conversion adapter and connect the DC cable directly for these models: JS-200D, JS-100F, JS-80A (Note: you can check your panel model name on the user manual)
Keep the conversion adapter attached for these models: JS-200A, JS-200C, JS-100C (Note: you can check your panel model name on the user manual)
How do I set or turn on the Energy Saving Mode?
To avoid battery drain from unused outputs, you can manually enable Energy Saving Mode through the Energy Saving Mode Switch (on the station front):
- When enabled, outputs turn off automatically after 6 hours of low power activity.
- When disabled, DC and AC outputs will not turn off automatically.
If enabled and no charging or power supply is detected, the unit will shut down after 6 hours.
