Spec by spec
A green mark is the better published figure on that row. Blank cells mean the vendor did not publish the number — we do not estimate.
| Metric | C2000 Gen 2 | AC200L | What it means |
|---|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 2,048 Wh | 2,048 Wh | How much energy the unit stores. Sets how long everything else can run. |
| Continuous AC output | 2,400 W | 2,400 W | The largest load the inverter will run continuously, not counting surge. |
| Weight lower is better | 41.7 lb | 62.4 lb | The spec buyers most often regret ignoring. |
| List price lower is better | $999.99 | $899 | Hub catalogue list price (same figure as product pages). Historical lows stay off this column. |
| Cost per watt-hour lower is better | $0.49 | $0.44 | Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric. |
| Watt-hours per pound | 49.1 Wh/lb | 32.8 Wh/lb | Capacity you get per pound carried. |
| Max solar input | 800 W | 1,200 W | Caps how large an array is useful, and therefore off-grid recharge speed. |
| Rated cycles | 4,000 cycles | — | Vendor claim for charge cycles before capacity degrades to 80%. |
| Max expandable capacity | 4,000 Wh | 7,600 Wh | How far the system can grow with add-on batteries. |
| Warranty | 60 months | 60 months | Stated warranty length from the vendor listing. |
