Read Full Article: Jackery’s Solar Gazebo: A DIY Renewable Solution
Jackery is introducing a solar-powered Gazebo at CES, expected to be available in California later this year, with a price range of $12,000 to $15,000, excluding battery storage. The Gazebo features 2,000W solar panels, integrated lighting, a pull-down projector screen, and weather-resistant AC outlets, making it a versatile outdoor space. It can be paired with Jackery's power stations, like the Explorer 1500 Ultra, to power appliances such as fridges and sound systems for several hours, with options for extended runtime through larger batteries. However, it's important to consider that many innovative products showcased at CES, like Anker's perovskite beach umbrella, often face delays or never reach the market. This matters as it highlights the potential and challenges of integrating renewable energy solutions into everyday outdoor living spaces.
