We tested the Oukitel P2001 solar electric generator


We are at the end of March, and a priori, we have escaped the power cuts announced by the government at the end of last year. Is this due to mild winter weather, or to reduced user consumption? Mystery ! Still, the small solar electric generators took advantage of this threat to flourish on the market, and experience a boom in their sales. The solar electric generator, in times of energy crisis, allows you to maintain autonomy in your electricity consumption, and to compensate for possible power cuts. Discover the Oukitel P2001 / 2000 Wh solar electric generator, accessible and easy to install, it could be of great service to you, at home, but also when camping. Presentation.

Who is Oukitel?

The Chinese company was created in 2007, and specializes in the manufacturing of mobile telecommunications products, but also vaping products and solar electric generators.

The Oukitel P2001 2000 Wh

The solar electric generator offers 2000W pure sine wave AC output power, and can charge various electronic devices or household appliances. However, it can also be used as a backup power supply in the event of a power outage. Its capacity of 2,000 watt hours and 625,000 mAh allows it, for example, to charge a charger 165 times, or to have 35 hours of use on a PC. Or 200 hours for a lamp and 15 hours to watch your favorite series on television.

To achieve this result, simply place it on your balcony, in the sun. It can in fact be coupled with one or more solar panels to recharge. So by connecting two solar panels in series, you can charge up to 500W. As we know, solar energy is unstable, but thanks to the built-in MPPT circuit, the P2001 generator tracks the best point of solar energy in order to deliver constant power and constant charging. There Charging is super fast thanks to the bidirectional inverterl who equips the station. So you won’t need any charger apart from the AC charging cable, which will take you from 0 to 100% in around 1 hour 30 minutes. Oukitel is one of the first manufacturers to adopt a high-security LiFePO4 battery (iron phosphate LFP system).

Thanks to its stable structure, it hardly heats up or catches fire, even if it is damaged, Oukitel promises. Its charge cycle is twice as fast as a conventional battery. Finally, in terms of device charging, it has four charging methods: AC charging input, solar panel, car cigar socket and generator input. It is of course also rechargeable from a conventional 220 V socket.

Unboxing and Design

The Oukitel P2001 solar electric generator is delivered in a heavy and imposing box. The battery is perfectly protected and delivered with a power cord to recharge it from a domestic outlet as well as a cord to connect it to a solar panel as well as a cigarette lighter cord. For our test, we used a 120W Bluetti SP120 solar panel. There is also a small user manual.

On this model, tAll cords are stored in a small compartment directly integrated on top of the solar generator. There are also two small hatches on each side, the first to hide the 3 220 V output sockets.

Behind the hatch located on the adjacent side, we find a 220 V input (fast charging from the sector), and standard connectors for connecting a solar panel. The generator also has several USB outputs on its front, two 12V outputs as well as an XT60 output and a cigarette lighter.

Facility

The installation is childish. Simply connect the solar panel to the generator using the cords provided to make the “magic happen”. Obviously, the speed of charging will depend on the degree of sunshine and the size and power of the solar panel used. Fast charging, for its part, is really efficient. In fact, it took less than an hour to go from 30 to 100% by recharging it from a 220 V domestic outlet.
