Jackery Unleashes Outdoor Powerhouse: Rugged Stations, Solar Gazebos, and a Robot Assistant

TL;DR: Jackery just dropped some serious clean energy tech at CES, including a super-tough portable power station, a backyard gazebo that generates solar power, and a self-moving solar robot. This ain't your grandma's flashlight, folks; it's a whole new level of off-grid living.
Meta: Jackery unveils a new rugged power station, a solar-powered gazebo, and an autonomous solar robot at CES, expanding its vision for portable and home energy solutions.
CES 2026 brought out some wild stuff, and Jackery didn't come to play; they came to slay the portable power game. They've rolled out a whole new lineup that screams 'outdoorsy, but make it high-tech.' We're talking about gear that’s built to take a beating, generate power while you chill, and even follow you around like a loyal, sun-seeking sidekick. It's like they looked at all those pristine garage-kept power stations and said, 'Nah, let's get dirty!'
Powering Up, Tougher Than Ever
First up, we got the new Explorer 1500 Ultra portable power station. This ain't just for emergency blackouts anymore; this bad boy is designed for the real world. With an IP65 rating, it's dustproof and can handle water jets – perfect for when your camping trip turns into a monsoon or your job site gets a little messy. Jackery claims it's the lightest in its class at 38.6 pounds, packing a 1,536Wh LiFePO₄ battery, 2,000 watts of continuous output, and recharging in a snappy 1.5 hours from a wall outlet. They even say it can run a Starlink Mini for up to 50 hours! So, if you're trying to binge-watch 'Beverly Hills Cop' in the middle of nowhere, this might just be your ticket.

The Smart Home Gets an Outdoor Power Boost
But Jackery's vision goes way beyond just portable juice boxes. They're trying to turn your whole yard into a power plant, starting with the Jackery Solar Gazebo. Picture this: you're lounging in your swanky outdoor living space, throwing a BBQ, and meanwhile, the roof of your gazebo is silently churning out up to 2,000 watts of solar power. That's up to 10 kWh per day, feeding into your home battery system. It's got integrated AC outlets, a louvered roof, and they even mentioned a pull-down projector screen. Now you can watch the game and power your house at the same time! Talk about multi-tasking.
And then, for the truly futuristic folks, there's the Solar Mars Bot. This ain't no Roomba, baby. This autonomous solar robot uses AI to move itself around, following users and repositioning its retractable 300W solar panels to catch the most rays. It's designed to recharge itself and deliver power where you need it, supporting everything from off-grid connectivity to powering other robots. While we don't have all the tech specs or a release date, the idea of a self-sustaining, mobile energy generator is straight out of a sci-fi flick. It’s still a concept, but after two years of development, it could be closer than we think. I just hope it doesn't get any ideas about taking over the world, 'cause I've seen that movie before.

What’s Next
Jackery's clearly pushing the boundaries of what portable and distributed clean energy can look like. We'll be watching closely to see how these ambitious products, especially the Mars Bot, transition from concept to market reality. The push for more durable, integrated, and intelligent energy solutions for both outdoor adventures and home backup is strong, and Jackery seems ready to lead the charge. Literally.
Alright, I'm out. Gotta go check if my toaster oven is tough enough for the wilderness.
