Spec by spec

A green arrow marks the better figure on each row. Rows where only one unit publishes a number are shown without a winner rather than guessed.

Metric	C2000 Gen 2	DELTA 3 Max	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	44.8 lb	The spec buyers most often regret ignoring.
List price lower is better	$900	$899	Vendor list price at the time of collection; street prices move.
Cost per watt-hour lower is better	$0.44	$0.44	Price divided by capacity. The fairest single value metric.
Watt-hours per pound	49.1 Wh/lb	45.7 Wh/lb	Capacity you get per pound carried.
Max solar input	800 W	500 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%.
