Las Vegas just got a massive jolt of energy innovation. Jackery stunned the CES 2026 crowd today by unveiling a trio of futuristic off-grid solutions led by the autonomous Solar Mars Bot. The showcase also features the battle-ready Explorer 1500 Ultra and a high-tech Solar Gazebo. These launches signal a massive shift toward intelligent and weather-resistant energy solutions for outdoor enthusiasts and homeowners alike.
Ultra Durable Power Station Built for Extreme Weather
The star of the show for serious adventurers is undoubtedly the Jackery Explorer 1500 Ultra. This is not just another battery box. Jackery has engineered this unit specifically for demanding environments where standard gear often fails.
It features a completely redesigned titanium-alloy multi-layer structure. This chassis allows the unit to pass rigorous one-meter drop tests without sustaining critical damage. The durability goes even further than simple drops.
The Explorer 1500 Ultra meets Level-9 seismic resistance standards.
This makes it an essential tool for emergency preparedness kits in earthquake-prone regions. The unit also boasts an IP65 rating for dust and water resistance. You can use it near dusty construction sites or sandy beaches without worry.
Jackery included IPX5-level water protection as well. It handles heavy rain and water splashes easily. This addresses a major complaint users had with older power stations that required strict dryness.
Weight management is often a concern with rugged gear. However, the Explorer 1500 Ultra weighs in at a manageable 17.5 kg. This balance of weight and armor makes it portable enough for solo camping trips.
Reliability comes from the internal chemistry. Jackery utilizes EV-grade LiFePO4 battery cells in this model. These cells represent the safest battery technology currently available on the market.
Key Durability Specs:
- Structure: Titanium-alloy multi-layer chassis
- Seismic Rating: Level-9 resistance
- Weather Proofing: IP65 Dust/Water & IPX5 Moisture protection
- Battery Life: 70% health after 4,000 charge cycles
You can expect over 10 years of daily use before the battery shows significant degradation. This longevity ensures your investment remains valuable for a decade.

Massive Output Meets Next Gen Connectivity
Power delivery is where the Explorer 1500 Ultra truly shines beyond its tough exterior. The unit is capable of sustaining a continuous 2,000W output for up to 15 minutes. This is crucial for running high-wattage appliances like heavy-duty power tools or electric grills.
It pushes boundaries with a peak output of 3,600W. This surge capacity is roughly ten times longer than traditional power station designs. You can start up demanding appliances like air conditioners without tripping the overload protection.
Modern adventurers need more than just raw power. They need connectivity. Jackery specifically highlighted the unit’s compatibility with Starlink systems during the presentation.
Based on internal testing, the 1500 Ultra powers a Starlink Mini for 50 hours.
Digital nomads working from remote locations will find this feature incredibly valuable. You can stay connected to high-speed internet for two full days on a single charge.
Charging the unit itself is incredibly fast thanks to ChargeShield 2.0 technology. You can recharge the battery from zero to full in just 1.5 hours via a wall outlet. It also supports up to 800W of solar input for efficient off-grid recharging.
“The Explorer 1500 Ultra is a professional-grade power solution engineered for demanding environments with uncompromising standards for reliability.”
Users have access to a wide array of ports. The faceplate includes two AC outlets, multiple USB-C and USB-A ports, and a 12V car outlet. You can charge your laptop, phone, and drone batteries simultaneously while powering a portable fridge.
Turning Your Backyard Into a Green Power Plant
Jackery is moving beyond portable power and into semi-permanent home fixtures. The new Jackery Solar Gazebo represents a unique blend of leisure and utility. It functions as an open-air extension of your home.
This structure is built with an ultra-durable 6063 T5 aluminum frame. It looks sleek and modern while standing up to the elements. The roof is the real technical marvel here.
It is equipped with high-efficiency solar panels capable of generating substantial energy. The gazebo delivers up to 2,000W of solar capacity.
Under optimal sunlight conditions, this structure can generate up to 10 kilowatt-hours of energy per day. That is enough electricity to offset a significant portion of a standard household’s daily usage.
The utility extends to entertainment as well. The gazebo features a built-in pull-down projector screen. You can host outdoor movie nights powered entirely by the sun energy collected during the day.
Jackery includes a built-in IP5-rated dual-AC solar power outlet right in the structure. You can plug in laptops or speakers directly without running extension cords from the house.
The company backs this massive piece of hardware with a 25-year warranty. This long-term support suggests Jackery is serious about entering the home infrastructure market.
This AI Robot Hunts for Sunlight Automatically
The most futuristic reveal of the event was the updated Jackery Solar Mars Bot. This device feels like it drove straight out of a science fiction movie. It addresses the biggest pain point of solar charging which is static positioning.
Traditional solar panels stay in one place while the sun moves across the sky. You lose efficiency as shadows shift. The Solar Mars Bot solves this problem with robotics.
It features AI-enhanced computer vision that allows it to navigate its environment autonomously. The robot tracks sunlight and moves to optimal locations to recharge itself.
This ensures the onboard panels are always catching the strongest rays available. It creates a “set it and forget it” experience for off-grid power generation.
The robot features 300W auto-retractable solar panels. These wings unfold when the robot finds a sunny spot and retract when it needs to move.
It can also follow its user around a campsite or property. This mobile power source is always right where you need it. Jackery spent two years in research and development to refine this technology.
Solar Mars Bot Capabilities:
| Feature | Function |
|---|---|
| Navigation | AI Computer Vision for obstacle avoidance |
| Solar Input | 300W Retractable Wings |
| Mobility | Autonomous driving and user following |
| Operation | 24/7 virtual operation capability |
This robot represents a major leap in mobile energy. It is no longer just a battery on wheels. It is an intelligent agent that actively harvests energy for you.
Jackery has confirmed that the Solar Mars Bot is coming to the US market. Pricing details have not yet been released. However, the technology promises to change how we think about portable power generation.
Jackery has redefined what it means to live off the grid with this impressive 2026 lineup. Whether you are weathering a severe storm with the Explorer 1500 Ultra or camping in luxury with the Solar Mars Bot, these tools provide unmatched peace of mind. Energy independence is no longer a distant dream but a tangible reality available to everyone right now.
