Home Depot, Lowe's & Walmart Solar Generators: What Each Store Carries (2026)
Yes, Home Depot sells solar generators, and so do Lowe's and Walmart. As of November 2026, all three stores' websites listed battery power stations from Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX and BLUETTI, many bundled with a folding solar panel. Home Depot adds RYOBI battery stations, and Lowe's adds EGO, CRAFTSMAN and Kobalt. Below: each store's lineup, pickup vs delivery, how to size one for an outage, and the same models on Amazon with our ratings.

By Quick verdict
The big-box stores and Amazon mostly sell the same brands, so pick the model first and the store second. For most homes, a 1 kWh LiFePO4 station keeps a fridge, lights, phones and Wi-Fi going for several hours, and a 2 kWh station roughly doubles that. The Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 (1,024 Wh, 1,500W AC, 23.3 lb) scores 93/100 in our scoring and is also listed at Lowe's and Walmart. If you need it today, check your local store's pickup stock; if you can wait for delivery, compare the same model on Amazon.

Which Brands Each Store Carries (November 2026)
Each tick links to the store's own category or product page showing that brand. Home Depot, Lowe's and Walmart block automated page checks, so we confirmed these from the stores' own pages as listed in search results on November 9, 2026. A brand being listed online does not mean every store has it on the shelf.
| Brand | Home Depot | Lowe's | Walmart.com | Amazon (rated by us) |

The “other brands” row lists brands we confirmed, not every brand each store sells. We don't rate RYOBI, Champion, EGO, CRAFTSMAN, Kobalt, WEN or VTOMAN stations, so they aren't in our ratings table.
Home Depot Solar Generators
Home Depot files solar generators under Generators › Portable Power Stations (Home Depot category), with brand pages for Jackery, EcoFlow and Anker and a long run of BLUETTI listings. What we found there as of November 2026:
- Jackery: Explorer models from the 300 v2 up to the 1500 v2, 2000 v2 and 2000 Plus, plus Explorer 5000 Plus and HomePower bundles (Home Depot Jackery page).
- EcoFlow: the Trail 300 DC, the DELTA 3 Classic and DELTA 3 Max (alone and bundled with 160W or 220W panels) and the original DELTA Pro. Home Depot's EcoFlow page names the 1,024 Wh DELTA 3 Plus among its top-rated EcoFlow stations (Home Depot EcoFlow page).
- Anker SOLIX: the C1000X Gen 2, C2000X Gen 2, S2000, F3000 and F3800 Plus, several as bundles with a panel, an alternator charger or an expansion battery (Home Depot Anker page).
- BLUETTI: the Elite 30 V2, Elite 100 V2, Elite 200 V2, Apex 300 and FridgePower. Home Depot's BLUETTI model numbers end in -THDUS (for example EL200V2-THDUS) (Home Depot Elite 200 V2 listing). We couldn't confirm whether anything differs besides the model number.
- RYOBI: 18V ONE+ and 40V battery inverters that run on Ryobi tool batteries, plus an internal-battery unit. Ryobi's own website labels its products “Only At The Home Depot” (Ryobi 40V power station page). Our tool-battery power station guide covers them in detail.
Pickup: Home Depot's online-order help page says in-store pickup is free and, subject to availability, can be ready in about two hours (Home Depot). That makes it useful when a storm is a day away and your local store shows stock. If you're shopping a Harbor Freight Predator instead, see our Harbor Freight solar generator guide. Sam's Club members can check our Sam's Club generator guide, which covers the EcoFlow Delta Pro 3 and the gas models Sam's lists. In rural areas, our Tractor Supply generator guide covers the EcoFlow, Westinghouse, Champion and Generac models that chain lists. Shopping at an electronics store instead? Our Best Buy solar generator guide covers the EcoFlow, BLUETTI, Anker SOLIX and Jackery stations BestBuy.com lists, and why Best Buy won't take back stations of 300 Wh or more.
Lowe's Solar Generators
Lowe's lists solar generators under Generators › Portable Power Stations (Lowe's category), and its category FAQ names Jackery, EcoFlow and EGO among its most popular power station brands. It also has brand pages for Anker and BLUETTI, plus store and tool brands. What we found as of November 2026:
- Jackery: the Explorer 1000 v2 on its own and bundled with one 100W or 200W panel or two 200W panels, and the Explorer 2000 v2 alone or with panels (Lowe's Jackery page).
- EcoFlow: RIVER 2 Pro, DELTA 2, DELTA 3 Classic, DELTA 3 Max, DELTA Pro and DELTA Pro Ultra listings (Lowe's EcoFlow page).
- Anker SOLIX: the C800X, C1000X Gen 2, C2000X Gen 2, S2000, F3000, F3800 with an extra battery, and the E10 home backup kit (Lowe's Anker page).
- BLUETTI: Elite-series stations from small camping units to 2 kWh-class models (Lowe's BLUETTI page).
- Store and tool brands: EGO, CRAFTSMAN and Kobalt, plus WEN and VTOMAN. We don't rate these.
Shopping for a Jackery 1000 at Lowe's? Lowe's Explorer 1000 v2 listing gives 1,070 Wh and 23.8 lb (Lowe's). Jackery's Amazon listing, checked November 9, 2026, describes 1,024 Wh and 23.3 lb. Both are sold as the Explorer 1000 v2, so check the capacity on the box. The older Explorer 1000, 1000 Pro and 1000 Plus are different products; our Explorer 1000 v2 review explains the differences.
Pickup: Lowe's portable power station pages have a “pick up today” filter that narrows the list to what your selected store has on hand (Lowe's pick-up-today view).
Walmart Solar Generators
Walmart.com files them under Patio & Garden › Generators › Solar Generators & Portable Power Stations (Walmart category). What we found as of November 2026:
- EcoFlow: RIVER and DELTA 3 models, including the DELTA 3 Classic and DELTA 3 Max, some bundled with panels (Walmart EcoFlow brand page).
- Jackery: the Explorer 1000 v2 and 2000 v2, alone and in panel bundles (Walmart Jackery page).
- BLUETTI: from the small Elite and AC-series units up to the Elite 200 V2 (Walmart BLUETTI page).
- Anker SOLIX: a brand page with C-series and F-series stations, including the F3000 (Walmart Anker SOLIX page).
Check who the seller is. Walmart.com hosts Marketplace sellers alongside items Walmart sells itself. The item page shows who sells and ships each listing, and Walmart's help page says to contact the seller first about an order problem, with Walmart Customer Care stepping in if the seller doesn't resolve it (Walmart Help). Walmart also says not every item is available for store pickup (Walmart Help).
Restored units: some Walmart listings are “Restored” (refurbished) power stations, for example a Restored Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 (Walmart). If you're weighing refurbished against new, read our refurbished solar generator guide first. Shopping for a gas, inverter or standby unit instead? Our Walmart generator guide covers the Westinghouse, Champion, WEN and Generac models Walmart.com lists, plus its generator return rules.
In-Store Pickup vs Delivery
Pickup wins when you need power before a storm; delivery wins once a station gets heavy. Here's what each store says about pickup, and how much the stations weigh by size (weights from the Amazon listings in our database):
| Store | What the store says about pickup | Source |
|---|---|---|
| Home Depot | Free in-store pickup of online orders, ready in about 2 hours subject to availability; curbside pickup is also offered | Home Depot help; curbside |
| Lowe's | “Pick up today” filter on the power station pages shows your store's stock | Lowe's |
| Walmart | Pickup is offered, but not every item is eligible; Marketplace items ship from the seller | Walmart help |
How Much You'll Be Carrying
- ~300 Wh: the Bluetti Elite 30 V2 weighs 9.5 lb (288 Wh).
- ~1 kWh: the Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 weighs 23.3 lb (1,024 Wh).
- ~2 kWh: the Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 weighs 39.5 lb (2,042 Wh).
- ~3 kWh: the Anker SOLIX F3000 weighs 91.5 lb (3,072 Wh).
Up to about 1 kWh, one person can carry a station out to the car. The 2 kWh-class stations in our ratings table weigh 35.7–53.4 lb, and the 3 kWh F3000 weighs 91.5 lb, so bring help or have the bigger ones delivered. Return terms differ by store, by seller and sometimes by product, so read the current policy on the store's site (and on a Marketplace seller's listing) before you buy.
How to Pick a Model (Whichever Store You Use)
Start with watt-hours. Multiply a station's capacity by about 0.85 for inverter losses, then divide by your load in watts to get hours. The table runs that math on stations we rate; the 100W column is a stand-in for a load that averages 100W over the day, such as a fridge cycling on and off (check your fridge's EnergyGuide label for its real daily use).
| Size | Example We Rate | Usable (~85%) | Router + Modem (20W) | 100W Average Load | 500W Load |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| ~300 Wh | Bluetti Elite 30 V2 (288 Wh) | ~245 Wh | ~12.2 h | ~2.4 h | ~0.5 h |
| ~1 kWh | Jackery Explorer 1000 V2 (1,024 Wh) | ~870 Wh | ~43.5 h | ~8.7 h | ~1.7 h |
| ~2 kWh | Jackery Explorer 2000 v2 (2,042 Wh) | ~1,736 Wh | ~86.8 h | ~17.4 h | ~3.5 h |
| ~3 kWh | Anker SOLIX F3000 (3,072 Wh) | ~2,611 Wh | ~130.6 h | ~26.1 h | ~5.2 h |
Estimates, not measurements: real runtime also depends on the inverter's idle draw, temperature and how the load cycles. To size for your own appliances, use our solar generator size calculator or the what size do I need guide.
Five Checks Before You Buy, In-Store or Online
- Model number, not just the name. Store versions can differ: Home Depot and Lowe's list Anker's C1000X Gen 2 and C2000X Gen 2 rather than the C1000 Gen 2 and C2000 Gen 2 sold on Amazon (our Anker SOLIX at Costco guide covers how X models differ), and the Jackery 1000 v2 has two builds (above).
- AC output and surge. Add up what runs at once. A fridge or sump pump needs surge headroom to start; see can a solar generator run a refrigerator.
- Battery chemistry. Every station in our table below uses LiFePO4; our LiFePO4 vs NMC guide explains why that matters for a backup battery that sits for months.
- Solar input. Watts of solar the station accepts sets how fast panels can refill it during a multi-day outage.
- What's in the box. Store listings are often bundles with a panel, an alternator charger or an expansion battery, so compare like with like.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Home Depot sell solar generators?
Yes. As of November 2026, The Home Depot website had portable power station pages for Jackery, EcoFlow, Anker SOLIX and BLUETTI, and many listings are sold as a power station bundled with a folding solar panel, which is what most people mean by a solar generator. Home Depot also sells RYOBI battery power stations (Ryobi's website labels its products Only At The Home Depot) and other brands such as Champion. Stock varies by store, so check the listing for your local store before you drive over.
Does Lowe's sell Jackery solar generators?
Yes. As of November 2026, Lowe's listed Jackery power stations, including the Explorer 1000 v2 on its own and bundled with 100W or 200W SolarSaga panels, and the Explorer 2000 v2. One thing to check: the Lowe's Explorer 1000 v2 listing gives 1,070 Wh and 23.8 lb, while Jackery's Amazon listing, checked November 9, 2026, describes 1,024 Wh and 23.3 lb. Lowe's category page also names Jackery, EcoFlow and EGO among its most popular power station brands.
Does Walmart sell solar generators?
Yes. As of November 2026, Walmart.com had brand pages or listings for EcoFlow, Jackery, BLUETTI and Anker SOLIX power stations, plus solar panel bundles. Walmart.com also hosts Marketplace sellers, so the item page tells you who sells and ships each listing; Walmart says to contact the seller first about an order problem. Some listings are Walmart Restored (refurbished) units, so check the condition before you buy.
Can I buy a power station online and pick it up in the store?
Usually. Home Depot says in-store pickup of online orders is free and, subject to availability, can be ready in about two hours. Lowe's portable power station pages have a pick-up-today filter that shows what your local store has on hand. Walmart says not every item is available for pickup, and items from Marketplace sellers ship from the seller. Larger units are heavy (a 3 kWh station like the Anker SOLIX F3000 is 91.5 lb), so plan how you will lift it into the car.
Are the power stations at Home Depot and Lowe's the same as on Amazon?
Often the same model line, but not always the same model number or box. Home Depot and Lowe's list Anker's C1000X Gen 2 and C2000X Gen 2, which are X variants of the C1000 Gen 2 and C2000 Gen 2 sold on Amazon. Home Depot's BLUETTI model numbers end in -THDUS. Store listings are also often bundles with a solar panel. Compare the watt-hours, AC output, outlet count and what is in the box, not just the name.
What size solar generator do I need for a power outage?
Work it out from watt-hours. Multiply the station capacity by about 0.85 for inverter losses, then divide by your load in watts. A 1,024 Wh station runs a 100W average load for about 8.7 hours and a 20W router and modem for about 43.5 hours. For a fridge, lights and phones through a day-long outage, most households look at 1 to 2 kWh; for a sump pump, well pump or longer outages, 3 kWh or more. Our sizing calculator does the math for your appliances.
Is it cheaper to buy a solar generator at Home Depot, Lowe's, Walmart or Amazon?
Prices change often at all four, so we do not compare store prices here. Match the exact model number and what is included (a panel, cables or an expansion battery), then compare the cost per watt-hour on the day you buy. A bundle with a panel can cost more than a bare station and still cost less than buying the two separately, so compare like with like.
