Jackery, maker of portable power and green energy solutions, has introduced its latest innovation, the Solar Generator Mars Bot, which has recently won TIME Best Inventions of 2023 Award, at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES).
Catering to various off-grid outdoor needs, the product is a PV-ESS charging integrated intelligent service robot with a light tracking system and offers a fresh perspective on the efficient utilization of renewable clean energy, Jackery said.
Inspired by Opportunity, the robotic rover that was active on Mars from 2004 until 2018, the Jackery Solar Generator Mars Bot is a “game-changer in the renewable energy landscape.” It represents a novel approach to the efficient use of renewable clean energy amid the energy crisis.
“The robot offers a high-efficiency photoelectric conversion rate and ensures a seamless electricity experience with its superior intelligent movement system. It is a nod to the adventurous spirit, providing a reliable energy source for those who dare to venture into the unknown and explore the world,” the company said.
The robot features an Automatic Sunflower Solar Tracker system for autonomous navigation and sunlight tracking, enabling it to seek out strong light for power generation or charging. It integrates solar panels with an energy storage system, with foldable photovoltaic panels that offer a 600-watt output and 25% max solar conversion efficiency. Constructed from durable, weather-resistant aluminum alloy, the robot is suitable for various scenarios like emergency rescue, outdoor events and RV life.
In addition, Jackery also showcased the Solar Generator for Rooftop Tent, an off-road overlanding home, which can provide up to 6kWh for one-day overlanding and two-week outdoor life. The brand also introduced the Jackery Solar Generator Home Kit, including an E2000Plus, an Add-on Battery, two 200W Solar Panels and an Auto Transfer Switch, serving as a crucial emergency backup power source during power outages and natural disasters.
Jackery Solar Generator 1000 Plus (Galaxy) whose shell is made of recycled plastic waste, along with other models of Jackery’s Plus series, have also been on display.
