Off Grid Power Using The AllPowers R2500 Solar Generator

by Jerry Neal | Oct 19, 2024

We are continuing to explore off-grid and emergency power solutions for both RV travel and the home. We completed an extensive 4 day evaluation of the AllPowers R2500 Portable Power Station and with the AllPowers 400 Watt Portable Solar Panel we had a solar generator that supplied us with 2016Wh capacity and powerful AC output of 2500W with a 4000W peak. This powerful power station is ready to provided us with off-grid power for our RV and can be used for reliable emergency backup power for our home.

AllPowers R2500

We found the AllPowers R2500 Power Station to be a useful tool for a wide range of activities, offering numerous benefits for different scenarios. One of its key advantages is versatility. The R2500 power station can power multiple devices simultaneously, such as smartphones, laptops, both residential and portable fridges, fans, and even medical equipment. This makes the power station essential for off-grid needs, emergency power, camping trips, and outdoor work, where access to conventional power outlets are limited.

The R2500 Power Station can be used as an UPS (uninterruptible power supply). After turning on the UPS function, even if there is a sudden power failure, the connected electrical appliance will not stop after momentary 15ms interruption when switching. The UPS feature has a the maximum output power of 1500W.

The R2500 has 4 ways to charge with 120VAC, aolar, 12V DC auto, and simultaneous 120VAC and solar. Using solar only and a maximum input of 1000W, the unit can be recharged in 2 hours.

There is are wide variety of outputs for both 120VAC and DC devices. We especially like the 30 Amp style plug to connect to our RV that supported a maximum 2500W of power.

Testing Results

Over a 4 day period, we tested the 120VAC, 12VDC and solar charging capabilities of the AllPowers R2500 power station by connecting to the main power feed of our Montana 5th wheel. We powered a residential refrigerator, microwave, TV, sound bar, and cellular router operating for 2 days under varying conditions. We also tested the 12VDC capabilities using a 52 quart portable refrigerator. The performance met the specification of the power station. See the video below for the details.
