Both capacities are outside PG&E’s window. PG&E pays for 290–1,000 Wh and says a 1,024 Wh battery is over the limit. See the California rebate tracker.
How we calculate
A full-size fridge averages 78 W (150 W running, 52% of the time). The AC180 uses BLUETTI’s published formula: 90% depth of discharge, 85% inverter efficiency, 15 W self-use.
The C1000 Gen 2 uses the same factors and 10 W self-use. Fridge and Wi-Fi together average 98 W (78 W plus a 20 W router and modem). Neither clears 12 hours of both. Check the fridge startup surge against the station surge rating.
The same 98 W load, 10 W self-use, weights checked September 15, 2026:
| Station | Runtime | Weight |
|---|---|---|
| EcoFlow RIVER 3 Plus | about 2 hours | 10.4 lb |
| Jackery Explorer 1000 v2 | about 8 hours | 23.8 lb |
| Jackery Explorer 1000 Plus | about 9 hours | 32 lb |
| BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 | about 15 hours | 53.4 lb |

- A high-wattage resistive-load mode is not proof a fridge compressor will start.
