Will the Anker SOLIX PS400 Bifacial work with the Jackery HomePower 3000?
Yes, with a catch. On a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage can reach about 63.1V, above 60V. Two panels: works, with a catch (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 800 W.
Works, with a catch
It charges, but read the note. Best option: 1 panel on DC8020.
- On a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage can reach about 63.1V, above 60V.
- Jackery's manual: if you use both inputs, use the same Jackery panel model and the same number of panels on each, or the unit can be damaged.
- 57.6 V open circuit: above the 55-60 V limit of many smaller stations even as a single panel on a cold morning.
- Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.

Will the Anker SOLIX PS400 Bifacial work with the Jackery HomePower 3000?
Yes, with a catch. On a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage can reach about 63.1V, above 60V. Two panels: works, with a catch (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 800 W.
Can I connect two PS400 Bifacial panels to the HomePower 3000?
Yes, 1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020. That gives about 800 W, with one catch: On a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage can reach about 63.1V, above 60V..
What cable do I need to connect the PS400 Bifacial to the HomePower 3000?
Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One PS400 Bifacial goes from 57.6 V on its label to about 63.1 V at 20°F and 65 V at 0°F. The HomePower 3000 accepts up to 60 V on the DC8020.

Other panels that work with the HomePower 3000
- Jackery HomePower 3000: solar input 12 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 57.6 V becomes 63.1 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 500 W on this input, 1,000 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 PS400 Bifacial come from a shop listing we have not confirmed in the manual yet.
