Why energy independence is the next smart home upgrade

The power cuts, but everything keeps running. The fridge hums. Your devices stay topped up. You’re still making the smoothest espressos with your coffee machine. No noise, no disruption, just clean, quiet control over your energy. That’s not a sci-fi dream. That’s the Jackery Explorer 3000 v2.

Forget your dad’s noisy generator or a backup plan hidden in a dusty shed. No, the Explorer 3000 v2 is a stylish, solar-ready power station that earns its spot in your modern home, campervan, or garden studio. It’s powerful, intelligent, beautifully compact, and finally available in the UK.

Welcome to the next phase of energy independence.

A new kind of power flex

Jackery has already made waves across Europe with its clean energy tech, but the Explorer 3000 v2 is something else entirely. The brand’s most advanced portable power station to date, it’s the first of its kind in the UK market, with a 3kWh LiFePO₄ battery system that looks as smart as it performs.

The numbers are impressive: 3,072Wh capacity, 3,600W output, and a staggering 7,200W peak power, meaning you can run power-hungry appliances (think kettles, induction hobs, heaters, or power tools) with no fuss. It’s fast-charging and ultra-reliable, and thanks to the company’s patented ChargeShield 2.0™ tech, it’s also designed to last more than 10 years.

This all might be very impressive, but what really elevates this station into lifestyle territory is how effortlessly it blends into smart homes and modern escapes. You’re not buying a brick. You’re investing in intelligent freedom.

Small but mighty

Traditional power stations – especially those at the 3kWh level – tend to be about as elegant as a paving slab. Jackery’s Explorer 3000 v2 isn’t. Thanks to the brand’s innovative CTB (Cell-to-Body) tech, which borrows design ideas from electric vehicles, this unit is up to 47% smaller and 43% lighter than the industry standard.

It’s portable enough to load into a car boot with one hand and compact enough to tuck under a desk or workbench without dominating your space. It even comes with a tidy trolley and carry bag during its early bird launch window (more on that below).

Smart, silent and solar-savvy

The Explorer 3000 v2 connects to your phone via Bluetooth or Wi-Fi for full control and real-time power stats. You can tweak settings remotely, monitor your solar input, and even track your carbon reduction efforts. For those living off-grid or managing home energy costs, it’s not just empowering, it’s empowering with data.

There are multiple energy-saving modes too, including a ‘Quiet Charging Mode’ that operates at just 27dB, perfect for late-night use or stealthy setups in a studio or van. Do you prefer true off-grid freedom? Jackery’s hybrid charging capability means you can juice it up via AC, solar, or both, with a full charge possible in under two hours.

The ultimate lifestyle upgrade?

The Jackery Explorer 3000 v2 isn’t your average battery pack. It’s a compact home energy solution, off-grid enabler, blackout protector, and sustainability statement all rolled into one beautifully engineered cube.

From 16 to 30 June 2025, you can grab it at an early bird price of £1,899, complete with free accessories. You can also get the Solar Generator 3000 v2 bundle (which includes a 200W solar panel) for £2,199 (RRP £2,599).

Either way, you’ll be one step closer to power independence, with no compromise on design or performance. The future of energy is flexible, silent, sustainable, and frankly, pretty stylish. Jackery just made owning a power station aspirational. And that’s a flex we didn’t see coming.
