Jackery at CES 2026
Full coverage of every announcement from Booth 9815, North Hall, Las Vegas. Explorer 1500 Ultra, Solar Mars Bot, Solar Gazebo, HomePower Series, and SolarSaga Barrel Tile — everything Jackery showed, analyzed through the ZiaVolt lens.
Jackery arrived at CES 2026 with the clearest statement of direction the company has ever made at a trade show. One product is ready to buy today. Two are coming in 2026. Two are a glimpse further down the road. What unites all five is a consistent thesis: Jackery is building an energy ecosystem for the home and the road — not just a collection of power stations.

Explorer 1500 Ultra
🛡️ IP65 · Rugged · 38.6 lbsThe Explorer 1500 Ultra is the headline product of Jackery's CES 2026 showing — the first in their new "Ultra" rugged series and the only announcement you could walk out of the convention center and immediately buy. It's a direct answer to the most common complaint about portable power stations: they aren't built to survive the environments where they're most needed.
The key claim: "Lightest IP65-rated power station in its class." At 38.6 lbs, it's notably lighter than comparable weatherproof stations. All output ports are individually sealed — not just the chassis — which is the detail that makes the IP65 rating meaningful in practice rather than theoretical.
The structural story is as important as the specs. A titanium-alloy multi-layer chassis, level-9 seismic resistance, dual-sided silicone impact bumpers, and a patented bottom-drainage design that relocates vents to the base to eliminate the primary water ingress point of traditional stations. Jackery calls this ChargeShield 2.0 — the recharge architecture that delivers the 1.5-hour wall charge time.
- 3× AC outlets (all individually IP65-sealed)
- 1× 100W USB-C PD · 1× 30W USB-C · 1× 18W USB-A · 1× 12V car port
- 2,000W sustained for up to 15 minutes — for high-draw tool startup
- 50 hours Starlink Mini runtime (Jackery internal testing)
- 4,000 cycles to 70% — 10+ year lifespan
- 5-year warranty (3 standard + 2 with registration)
- ChargeShield 2.0 — 1.5-hour AC recharge
⚠️ ZiaVolt note on UPS: Sub-20ms UPS (not sub-10ms) — the same as other Jackery Explorer models. For CPAP and most home electronics, 20ms is adequate. For ventilators or O₂ concentrators, step up to EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra (0ms) or Anker C-series (sub-10ms). See our medical backup guide.
HomePower Series
🏠 3 Models · 3kWh to 5kWh · 6,000 CyclesJackery's HomePower Series isn't a single product — it's three home backup stations in one lineup, positioned at different price and capacity points. All three use LiFePO₄ batteries rated for 6,000 cycles, Jackery's highest-endurance cell spec to date — the same ceramic membrane technology in the HomePower 3600 Plus.
| Model | Capacity | Output | Cycles | Best For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| HomePower 3000 | ~3kWh | ~3,600W | 6,000 | Budget whole-home entry |
| HomePower 3600 Plus | 3,584Wh | 3,600W (7,200W parallel) | 6,000 | Sub-10ms UPS — Jackery first |
| HomePower 5000 Plus | ~5kWh | ~5,000W | 6,000 | High-capacity home backup |
The standout spec: The HomePower 3600 Plus — already in our review catalog — is the first Jackery station to achieve sub-10ms UPS switchover. That's a genuine first for the brand, matching Anker's C-series on the metric that matters most for medical devices and home electronics. We've reviewed it in full.
Solar Gazebo
☀️ 2,000W PV · 10kWh/day · $12,000–$15,000The Solar Gazebo is exactly what it sounds like: a full garden pavilion with 2,000W of high-efficiency solar modules integrated into the roof. Jackery designed it as a dual-purpose structure — functional shade and weather protection paired with a serious PV generation system producing up to 10kWh per day under optimal conditions.
The aluminum-framed structure features a louvered roof, pull-down projector screen option, built-in IP5-rated dual AC solar power outlets, and optional integration with Jackery's HomePower 2000 Ultra balcony storage system. Jackery is also pitching it as a covered storage space — large enough to shelter a golf cart while keeping it charged.
💰 Price reality check: Expected $12,000–$15,000 before battery storage. At that price, a DIY solar pergola with equivalent panel wattage and a separate home battery could be built for considerably less. The Gazebo's value is in the integration and aesthetics — it's a luxury product, not a value proposition.
Solar Mars Bot
🤖 AI Solar Tracking Robot · 300W Auto-Retractable PanelsThe Solar Mars Bot is Jackery's most ambitious announcement and their most futuristic — a fully autonomous solar-equipped robot that drives itself around your property to track sunlight, self-charges via its own 300W retractable panels, and follows you in "follow-me mode" when you need power on the move.
- AI-enhanced computer vision for autonomous navigation and sun tracking
- 300W auto-retractable solar panels that tilt to follow the sun's angle
- Follow-me mode — tracks and follows the user across terrain
- Operates "virtually around the clock" — self-sustaining via solar self-charging
- Compact storage mode — panels retract when not in use
- Designed for home backup supplementation and off-grid portable power
What Jackery demoed at CES: A live prototype successfully tracked a UV light and autonomously angled its panels toward it — and followed a reporter around the convention floor in follow-me mode. The demo worked. The engineering appears real, not vaporware.
SolarSaga Barrel Tile
🏆 CES Innovation Award · Sustainability & EnergyThe SolarSaga Barrel Tile is Jackery's entry into building-integrated photovoltaics — solar cells designed to look exactly like traditional curved clay roof tiles. Winner of a CES 2026 Innovation Award in Sustainability & Energy Transition, it was recognized as the world's first mass-produced, high-efficiency multi-curved crystalline silicon PV tile.
The tile uses XBC crystalline silicon cell technology with a unique laminated forming process that achieves the curved shape without sacrificing conversion efficiency. Each tile has a built-in 42W battery chip. The design is intended to be visually indistinguishable from traditional clay barrel tiles — solving the aesthetic objection that keeps many homeowners from adopting solar.
Jackery's CES 2026 lineup tells a clear story: the company is systematically expanding from "portable power station brand" into a complete residential energy ecosystem. The Explorer 1500 Ultra addresses the professional outdoor market. The HomePower Series addresses structured home backup. The Solar Gazebo, Mars Bot, and Barrel Tile address the connected home energy future — generation, storage, and mobility as a unified system.
The most significant product from a ZiaVolt perspective isn't the flashiest announcement. It's the HomePower 3600 Plus's sub-10ms UPS — a metric Jackery had consistently lagged competitors on, now matched. That's a real hardware advance, not a marketing claim, and it meaningfully expands where Jackery can compete in the home backup market.
📖 In our catalog: We already have full reviews of the Explorer 1500 Ultra and HomePower 3600 Plus. As the HomePower 3000 and 5000 Plus become available, we'll add them to the lineup.
