Will the Anker SOLIX PS100 Bifacial work with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes. One Anker SOLIX PS100 Bifacial works with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus: about 28.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Works
1 x PS100 Bifacial into the Explorer 2000 Plus (1 panel on DC8020) stays inside 11 to 60 V and under 12 A, even at 20F.
- Jackery's manual: if you use both inputs, put the same type and the same number of panels on each, or uneven voltages can cause damage or charging problems.
- Three or four panels need Jackery's solar series connector. The manual also shows wiring methods that are not allowed, so check that page before you wire.
- Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.

Quick answers
Will the Anker SOLIX PS100 Bifacial work with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes. One Anker SOLIX PS100 Bifacial works with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus: about 28.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Can I connect two PS100 Bifacial panels to the Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes, 1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020. That gives about 200 W.
What cable do I need to connect the PS100 Bifacial to the Explorer 2000 Plus?
Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One PS100 Bifacial goes from 25.9 V on its label to about 28.4 V at 20°F and 29.2 V at 0°F. The Explorer 2000 Plus accepts up to 60 V on the DC8020.

Other panels that work with the Explorer 2000 Plus
- Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus: solar input 11 to 60 V on the Solar in 1 (DC8020). Jackery rates this input by working voltage (Vmp), so that is the number we hold to the limit. We still warn when the cold-morning open-circuit voltage goes over it.
- Cold raises panel voltage: we add 0.30% per °C below 77F (25°C), a typical figure, since this panel does not publish its own. At 20F one panel's 25.9 V becomes 28.4 V.
- Current over the 12 A cap is safe: the station takes 12 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 700 W on this input, 1,400 W across all inputs.
- Cold-morning voltage uses 0.30% per °C, typical for crystalline panels. This panel's own value is not published.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
- Some numbers for Anker SOLIX PS100 Bifacial come from a shop listing we have not confirmed in the manual yet.
