Goal Zero Yeti 1500X
The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X has 1,516 Wh rated capacity (about 1,213 Wh usable, estimated) and a 2,000 W inverter. It can run all 28 of the 120 V household loads we track.
Limited availability: New units are sold out and missing from goalzero.com's power-station collection, which now lists the 'NEW Yeti 1500' (LiFePO4). Goal Zero sells only an open-box 1500X (SKU 36300R).

| UPS / EPS switchover | Not publishedSource noteGoal Zero gives no switchover time or UPS rating for the 1500X; the page says only 'Simultaneous Recharge & Discharge: Yes'. |
| Expandable | Not publishedSource noteConflict on the official page: one spec block says 'Chainable With Yeti Link and Tank Expansion batteries', while the General section says 'Chainable: No'. Neither the Yeti Link nor a Tank battery is listed on the current store (checked 2026-10-19). |
| Max expanded capacity | Not publishedSource noteNo official expanded capacity stated, and expandability is contradictory (see expandable). |
| AC charging | 600 W[source]Source note'AC Wall Chargers (600W Input Max)', with the optional 600W Power Supply. The included '120W Power Supply' takes 14 hours. |

Runtime = 1,213 Wh usable (est. 80% of rated) ÷ the appliance's average draw. Fridges and freezers average their daily energy use; everything else counts as running the whole time. "No" means the load exceeds this model's continuous output or surge rating. Methodology.
Recharge with solar
Solar input: 14–50 V, 50 A, up to 600 W (HPP).Goal Zero calls it the 'High Power Charging port'. Retailers call it an Anderson-type connector; Goal Zero's page does not, so that is unconfirmed. The 8 mm inputs take Goal Zero 8 mm plugs.Describes the one High Power Charging port that a 600 W array uses. Two more 8 mm inputs exist (14-50V, 10A, 150W each). Total solar is capped at 600 W. Panels that fit, fastest first, one panel at a time; days use Dallas, TX's sun (5.4 peak hours a day on average, 4.37 in December). Two or more panels charge faster, up to this station's 600 W input limit.

Won't work with the Yeti 1500X (it accepts 14–50 V, and no adapter changes a panel's voltage): Anker SOLIX PS200 Portable Solar Panel (200W) (57.6 V), Anker SOLIX PS400 Portable Solar Panel (400W) (57.6 V).
Real-world watts = panel rating capped by this input's current limit (× the panel's voltage at max power) and maximum solar input, × 75%. Peak-sun hours to full = rated capacity (1,516 Wh, since charging fills the whole battery) ÷ real-world watts; days = those hours ÷ peak sun hours per day. Sunnier and cloudier cities are on each panel's page; full method in the methodology.
The Goal Zero Yeti 1500X doesn't take an expansion battery. None of the Goal Zero batteries we track (Tank PRO 4000) work with it.
