At a Glance
This comparison targets buyers shopping for a high-capacity LFP power station that can handle serious home backup loads and expand over time. The Delta Pro leads with 3600W of running power and a larger 3600 Wh battery, giving it a clear edge for sustained, heavy-draw appliances.
Its 7200W surge rating also sits 1200W above the Explorer 2000 Plus, which matters for startup spikes on tools and compressors. Both units passed the same 47 out of 53 devices in compatibility testing, so real-world device coverage is effectively equal.
Where the Explorer 2000 Plus fights back is weight and solar efficiency: at 61.5 lbs it is nearly 38 lbs lighter, and its 7.3-hour solar charge time is almost half the Delta Pro's 12.9 hours despite a slightly lower 1400W max input. Buyers choosing between raw capacity and practical portability will find a genuine tradeoff here.
