Wondering if the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (4kWh and 6kWh) with solar panels includes all the necessary cables and connectors? Or perhaps you are interested in the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kit (4kWh) and want to know what cables are included — and if there is anything extra you should consider? If so, this Jackery cable guide has all the answers. You can also check the connector user manual here.

Generally, the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus Kits include all the necessary cables, and you don't need to purchase any extra cables or connectors unless you want. If you buy the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station and Jackery Solar Panels separately, the solar panel order will include all the necessary cables. However, if you buy 4 - 6 solar panels separately, you will need to purchase the connector as well.

Do I Need to Purchase a Cable/Connector in My Order

Whether you need to purchase a cable or connector will depend on your order. Here are the three situations you should keep in mind:

Order in Solar Generator: If you purchase a bundle like the Jackery Solar Generator 2000 Plus (Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station + 2*Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panels), it will include all the cables you need. Hence, you don't have to buy any extra cables unless you have some additional requirements.

Order Separately: If you buy Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus Portable Power Station and Jackery Solar Panels separately, the solar panel order will include all the necessary cables to the portable power station.

Connector: You will also get a solar panel connector when you purchase the Jackery Solar Generator bundle with 4 - 6 solar panels. However, if you purchase 4 - 6 solar panels in a separate order, you will also need to buy a solar panel connector.

 

Jackery Solar Panel Connector

If you want to connect multiple solar panels to the portable power station, you will need a solar connector. The Jackery Solar Panel Connector can connect up to three solar panels to the portable power station in series.

Note: The solar panels that can be connected in the following ways are Jackery SolarSaga 100W Solar Panels, SolarSaga 200W Solar Panels, and SolarSaga 40W Solar Panels.

2 solar panels: No solar panel connector is required.  Alternatively, you can plug two solar panels into one connector like below diagram shows, which can then be connected to one DC input port of the portable power station.

 Caution: When you are using two inputs simultaneously, make sure to use the same type of solar panel and same number of panels in each input to avoid any damage. For example, if you are charging the power station with four panels, make sure to input two panels to either side. Here are some connections that are prohibited to charge the power station:
