At a Glance

This comparison targets buyers choosing between two 1800W LFP power stations in the 1 kWh class. The SOLIX C1000 and DELTA 2 share the same running power, 3000-cycle lifespan, and expandable designs, so the differences come down to details that matter in real use.

The DELTA 2 edges ahead on device compatibility, powering 39 out of 53 tested appliances versus 38 for the C1000, and its 2700W surge rating gives it a better shot at starting stubborn motor loads like compressors or pumps. It also weighs about two pounds less at 26.5 lbs, a tangible advantage for tailgating or campsite carry.

The C1000 fights back with a 20ms UPS switchover and a higher 600W solar input ceiling, which trims full solar charge time meaningfully for off-grid setups. Both scored within two points of each other, so the right pick depends on your priority.
