Is now a good time for your household to invest in independent solar backup power?
Jackery has officially entered the Australian market with a range of portable solar generator products designed for indoor and outdoor use. These units allow households to store energy from sunlight or wall outlets, offering a backup power alternative during periods of grid instability.
Why it matters
Rising petrol prices and increasing bushfire risks have driven Australian households to prioritise energy independence and emergency preparedness. These portable solutions provide a safe, indoor-compliant alternative to traditional fuel-powered generators during outages.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra features a 1536Wh capacity, while the Solar Generator 2000 Plus offers a 2042Wh capacity. Both models are currently available with seasonal discounts of 46% and 47%, respectively.

Energy Safe Victoria
This is the state government agency responsible for energy safety regulation and enforcement, which issues warnings against the indoor use of petrol generators.
