Jackery’s $12K Solar Gazebo: A Luxury or a DIY Project in Disguise?

Jackery’s solar Gazebo promises a luxury outdoor space for $12K—but building one yourself might be cheaper and more reliable.

Priced between $12,000 and $15,000 (before battery storage), Jackery’s solar-powered Gazebo is a 4.5m x 3m x 2.7m aluminum structure with 2,000W solar panels, integrated lighting, and weather-resistant AC outlets.

The product pairs with Jackery’s IP65-rated Explorer 1500 Ultra power station or third-party batteries like Anker’s HomePower series to power appliances for extended periods.

“Priced at over $12,000, it’s something you should maybe build yourself,” noted a source. This skepticism is warranted given Jackery and Anker’s history of announcing ambitious CES products—like Anker’s perovskite beach umbrella and Jackery’s solar rooftop tent—that never shipped.

The Gazebo’s real-world limitations include unproven availability and a cost that dwarfs DIY alternatives using components from solar panel retailers and third-party battery brands.
