REVIEW: Goal Zero Yeti 6,000X Solar Generator + Top 6 Alternatives

 1.  EcoFlow DELTA MAX 6,000 [Quad Kit] - $5,989

It's no surprise that this convenient and highly advanced solar generator kit takes our top spot, as the EcoFlow DELTA MAX is one of the most anticipated solar powered generators ever built for off-grid, RV, Van Life, and home backup situations. Its already impressive 2,016Wh deep-cycle battery is expanded to a total of 6,028Wh, which is thanks to two compact external batteries. 

Not only is the battery capacity incredible, the DELTA MAX is also the fastest charging solar generator on the market. It has the ability to fully re-charge in under 2 hours and even features 3,600W dual charging capabilities.

The DELTA Max also features 3,400W X-Boost, which increases the charge rate, so you can charge your electronic devices faster than ever before. When you purchase the DELTA MAX as part of the Quad Kit, you also get four highly efficient 200 watt solar panels and all of the cables and accessories needed to get up and running with off-grid solar power!

EcoFlow DELTA MAX Solar Generator Pros:

When it comes to the benefits the DELTA MAX offers, it's difficult to know where to start. The fastest charge rate in the industry certainly stands out, but a crystal-clear display screen, Wi-Fi connectivity, and an enormous internal battery are also real highlights. The wide variety of input and output charging ports is also a major plus, as it ensures the DELTA MAX is incredible versatile.

Not only does the DELTA MAX perform well and offer plenty of unique and advanced features, it is available at a very reasonable price point, which is something consumers have come to expect from EcoFlow.

DELTA MAX Cons:

When you're talking about one of the most advanced and highly reviewed solar generator kits on the market, it becomes a little difficult to find any significant faults. Some people might find the kit somewhat bulky, especially if you plan on relocating the generator and the two external batteries on a regular basis, but this is to be expected of such a powerful solar generator kit.

 2.  Lion Safari ME Solar Generator [GOLD Kit] - $3,995

As a close second, the Lion Safri ME solar generator is another high capacity device with modular, infinite storage possibilities. Each 2,000 Wh battery pack fit for the Safari ME has 2,000 lifecycles and can be easily swapped for ongoing power (rather than replacing a $5,000 unit in full). 

Our Lion Safari ME Gold Kit also comes with solar panels and wiring at a price significantly lower than the Goal Zero Yeti 6000X by itself. 

Lion Safari ME Solar Generator Specs:

• Output - AC [Standard Wall Plugs]: 2 (Easily split these with a surge protector or extension cable)
• Output - USB: 2 USB-A  & 2 USB-C
• Rated Battery Capacity: 922wH + 2,048wH = 2,970 watt hours
• Battery Type: Lithium
• Inverter: 2000 Watt Continuous / 4000 Watt Surge - Pure Sine
• Fastest Solar Recharge Time: Under 2 hours
• Lifecycles: 2,000

Lion Safari ME Solar Generator Pros:

Unlike some of the company’s smaller products, Lion Energy has included a 2000W continuous inverter (same capacity as the Yeti), in this compact device. Just like the Yeti, the ME has 2 C wall outlets but is fully capable of running large appliances and electronics for long periods of time.

The main difference here is that the Lion Safari ME is both cheaper to purchase and less expensive to maintain large amounts of battery capacity throughout its lifetime compared to the Yeti 6000X.  

Lion Safari ME Cons:

Without an extra battery pack, the ME is a lean, 922 W solar generator. Although it is convenient and portable, this makes it entirely necessary to purchase more power (2 batteries) to meet the approximate reserve capacity of the Yeti 6000X.

3.  Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator Quad Kit - $2,297

While the Goal Zero Yeti 6,000X is good at providing long appliance runtimes, I feel as if the Bluetti EB240 does it even better The Bluetti EB240 Quad kit has about half of the storage capacity of the 6000X, but it includes solar panels, wiring, and a longer expected lifetime for half of the upfront costs. 

Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator Specs:

• Battery Capacity: 2400Wh (Watt Hours)
• Battery Chemistry: LG Li-ion battery cells (Lithium)
• AC Input: 7.9 x 0.9mm DC, 42V/160W (Wall Charger)     
• Open Circuit Voltage: 16V~60V /Max. 10A (For Solar Panel Charging)
• AC Output: 110V, Max. 1000 Watts (Pure Sine Inverter)
• CarPort (Cigarette Lighter): DC 12V/9A 
• USB Ports: 1 x 45W USB-C (5-20V) & 4 x 5V, 3A USB-A
• Solar Charge Input/Mode: MPPT Charge Controller 
• Efficiency: 99.5%
• Exact Size of Generator (Dimensions): 19.4 x 6.5 x 14.4 inches
• Weight: 48.5lb
• Warranty: 2-Years

Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator Pros:

The EB240 comes with 2400Wh, which is still a large amount of power for a standalone generator, especially at just 48 lbs. If you are able to continuously charge the Bluetti EB240 (via solar, AC, or DC), then 24000Wh should be plenty for emergencies, camping trips, tailgates, or ongoing use. 

Knowing this, I feel as if many people overpay for the Yeti 6000X for power storage capacity that they do not actually need.  

Bluetti EB240 Solar Generator Cons:

Notably, the Bluetti EB240 is limited with its 1000W continuous inverter, only able to provide about half of the AC power that the Goal Zero YetiX. However, 1000W is still a lot of energy, especially while constrained to just 2 wall outlets.

What can the EcoFlow Delta 1800 Actually Power?

EcoFlow Delta Solar Generator Pros:

In our review of the EcoFlow Delta, we noted its lightning-fast 2 hour AC charge time as a revolutionary feat for solar generators and solar generator kind. This remains true, as the Delta makes an incredibly convenient and affordable solar generator for long-term, occasional uses.  Check our next review of EcoFlow Delta 1300.

Also, the Delta has a 1800W inverter, which means it can power nearly everything a Yeti 6000X can, just for shorter durations. 

EcoFlow Delta Solar Generator Cons:

Of course, 1300Wh of battery is simply a fraction of what the Yeti 6000X can hold. If you are looking for convenience, the Delta is the king, but in terms of storage capacity, there are many more capable options.

Bluetti AC200P Solar Generator Pros:

With 2000W of continuous electricity at your disposal, the Bluetti AC200P blows past the capabilities of the Yeti 6000X with 6 included wall outlets. Although its battery capacity is about ⅓ of the Yeti’s (at 2,000Wh), the AC200P is rated for 3500+ charge cycles.

Knowing this, The Bluetti is capable of delivering much more lifetime power than the Yeti 6000X.

Bluetti AC200P Solar Generator Cons: 

Compared to the modular generators at the top of this list, the ABluetti is limited to its 2000Wh storage capacity for the duration of its lifetime. Although it will not be able to meet the storage capacity of the Yeti 6000X, its efficient charging systems make it easy for continuous, daily operation.

6.  The Titan Solar Generator Quad Kit - $3,895

If it's power you seek, then the Titan Solar Generator from Point Zero is what you’re looking for. The Titan Solar Generator has a 3000W inverter (1,000W more than the Yeti), and an “unlimited” amount of battery storage with its modular design.

With our Titan Quad Kit, you can purchase the Titan solar generator with 500W of solar (and all of the wiring) for over $1,000 less than the price of the Yeti 6000X alone. 

Titan Solar Generator Specs:

• Battery: 2000wH Lithium-Ion
• Inverter: 3000W / 7700W Surge
• 2 MPPT Charge Controllers
• Charging Options: Solar panels, AC, & DC
• Outputs: 6 AC wall outlets, 4 DC (12V) ports, 1 RV Plug (30amp), and 8 total USB ports
• Shelf Life: 3-6 Months
• 2-Year Warranty
• Weight: ~35 lbs. (plus batteries)

Titan Solar Generator Pros:

Compared to the Yeti 6000X, the Titan can output 1000W more continuous power through 3x the amount of AC outlets (the Titan has 6). Plus, each expandable storage pack made for the Titan is 2,000 Watts, so you can easily match the Goal Zero with 2 extra batteries. 

In terms of charging, the Titan beats out the Yeti with a larger solar input capacity, more efficiency, and even an included car charger. 

Titan Solar Generator Cons:

The main drawback of the Titan is its weight. Although the 6000X weighs more, the wheeled cart is incredibly convenient. The Titan and its batteries can be separated, but each unit (weighing about 40 lbs), will need to be carried to wherever power is needed.
