Black Friday Power Station and Solar Deals 2026: What's Worth Buying

Black Friday is one of the best times of year to buy a portable power station or solar panels. EcoFlow, Jackery, BLUETTI and Renogy all tend to run their biggest sales of the year around it, and these are expensive enough that a real discount is worth waiting for.

The trick is knowing what counts as a real discount. Below are the models we’d shortlist for camping and van life, the prices they sold for on November 3, 2026, before Black Friday pricing started, and the codes that already work. We’ll update this page as sales go live.

Codes that work now

• BLUETTI Elite 100 V2: code ELITE5OFF for 5% off the Elite 100 V2 and its bundles, through BLUETTI’s store.
• BLUETTI, other orders under $1,000: code AFFSALE for $8 off.
• Harvest Hosts: code ADVANTURE20 for 20% off a first-year membership. More on that below.

Codes don’t always stack with sale prices, so try the code at checkout and keep whichever price is lower.

How to tell if a Black Friday price is a real deal

• Compare against the prices below, not the “was” price on a sale banner. A big crossed-out number doesn’t mean much if the item normally sells for less.
• Compare like with like. Match capacity (watt-hours) and output (watts). A cheap 300 Wh station isn’t a deal if you need 1,000 Wh.
• Check the battery type. Every station on this page uses LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) cells, which last thousands of charge cycles. Older lithium-ion models are often the ones discounted hardest.
• Watch the bundles. A station plus a solar panel can be good value, but only if the panel is one you’d buy anyway. Check the panel’s wattage against the station’s solar input.
• Buy from the brand or a trusted retailer so the warranty is straightforward.

Solar panel picks for Black Friday

A power station is only half the setup. To stay off-grid for more than a day or two, you need panels to recharge it. Renogy has been making RV and van solar gear for years, and these were its list prices on November 3, 2026.

Renogy product	Size	Price on Nov 3, 2026
E.Flex N-Type Portable Solar Panel	100W	$124.99
E.Flex N-Type Portable Solar Panel	200W	$219.99
N-Type Portable Solar Suitcase Kit with 20A controller	100W	$229.99
N-Type Portable Solar Suitcase Kit with 20A controller	200W	$322.99
RV Solution: Go Far	3.8 kWh kit	$2,199.99
RV Solution: Go Further	7.6 kWh kit	$3,279.99

Match the panel to your station’s maximum solar input, and expect real-world output to land well below the panel’s rating. Our solar chargers and panels guide covers sizing in more detail.

A gift idea for the van lifer who has everything

A Harvest Hosts membership gets them overnight stays at thousands of wineries, farms, breweries and museums across North America, with no nightly camping fee. The Classic plan lists at $99 a year, and code ADVANTURE20 takes 20% off the first year. One catch: their rig needs an indoor toilet and an indoor kitchen. Our Harvest Hosts review explains how it works and who it suits.

Frequently asked questions

Is Black Friday a good time to buy a power station?

Usually, yes. EcoFlow, Jackery, BLUETTI and Renogy tend to run their deepest discounts of the year around Black Friday and Cyber Monday. Compare any sale price against the pre-sale prices on this page before you buy.

When do Black Friday power station deals start?

Many brands start their Black Friday pricing in the days or weeks before Black Friday itself, which is November 27, 2026. We’ll update this page as sales go live.

Which power station size should I buy?

For most van lifers, about 1,000 Wh. It runs a 12V fridge, lights, a fan and device charging through a typical day. Choose about 500 Wh for weekend trips, or about 2,000 Wh if you cook with electricity or run power tools. Our EcoFlow vs Jackery comparison goes deeper on sizing.
