Our verdict on each
Enphase
Enphase suits US households that already have solar or plan it and want backup storage, panels and a home battery from the same maker. It earns its place on build choices rather than scale: cells are lithium iron phosphate (lifepo4), and buyers wanting whole-home capacity will look elsewhere.
Growatt
Growatt suits readers who want a single maker to cover portable stations, home batteries and balcony solar rather than a portable-only range. Output of 7,200 W puts it among the strongest units here, and cells rated to 4,000 cycles suit longer ownership, while the entry price of $799 is high.

Pros and cons
Enphase
Pros
- Cells are lithium iron phosphate (lifepo4), the chemistry behind 96% of the brands on our data.
- The range covers power station, home battery and solar panel, so a panel, a portable power station and a home battery can come from a single maker and a single support desk.
- Solar input of 400 W lets the pack refill from an array rather than only from a wall socket.
Cons
- Maximum capacity is 1,532 Wh, which puts Enphase at 28 out of 28 brands on our capacity table, so storage for a long evening is limited.
- Peak output of 1,500 W ranks 22 out of 24 brands, below the category median of 4,000, so heavy loads cannot run together.
- The portable range is listed for US only, so buyers in any other market have to look at another maker.
Growatt
Pros
- Output of 7,200 W ranks 6 of 24, close to the strongest units in this group.
- Product types run to power station, solar generator and home battery, giving portable and fixed storage from one maker where DATOUBOSS lists power station and home battery.
- Batteries are lifepo4 with a stated cycle life of 4,000 cycles, and solar input reaches 2,000 W on the Helios model.
Cons
- Entry price of $799 places Growatt at 21 of 27, far above ALLPOWERS at €89.
- Capacity of 7,200 Wh sits above the portable median of 5,222.4, yet the ranking on that measure is 16 of 28.
- Support is listed as email, phone and help centre, so live chat is not among the routes offered.
Who each suits
Enphase
Who it suits
- US households with rooftop or balcony solar who want storage and a home battery from the same maker.
- People who need a router, monitor and laptop to survive an outage, since uninterruptible power supply mode is available.
- Buyers who put cell longevity and cover length above having the largest pack available.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers who want a solar generator or balcony solar, because ALLPOWERS covers power station, solar generator and home battery and Enphase does not.
- Anyone shopping outside US, the only market listed for this range.
- Households that want a portable power station and panels with no home battery, since Jackery covers power station, solar generator and solar panel and stops there.
Growatt
Who it suits
- Households wanting portable power, a fixed home battery and balcony solar from one maker, a wider catalogue than DATOUBOSS at power station and home battery.
- Buyers who put power delivery ahead of stored energy, since 7,200 W of output ranks 6 of 24.
- People in the markets listed as AU, BR and CN who want long cover at 5 to 10 years.
Who should look elsewhere
- Buyers on the tightest budget, since ALLPOWERS lists an entry price of €89 against Growatt's $799.
- Shoppers who need the very largest units on the market, because the capacity ceiling here is 7,200 Wh.
- Anyone after a portable and panel catalogue with no home storage, which is what Jackery's power station, solar generator and solar panel covers.

Questions about each
Enphase
How long is the warranty on the Enphase portable range?+
Cover runs 5 years on the portable energy range, a long term next to most of the field in our warranty table. Enphase ranks 9 out of 19 brands on warranty length, so the term is longer than a good share of the field, though it is not the longest listed.
How much power does the pack put out?+
Peak output is 1,500 W, enough for a fridge-freezer, a router and lighting together, not for heating or cooking loads. On our data that output ranks 22 out of 24 brands, so treat the unit as a short outage supply rather than a whole-home system.
Growatt
How much does a Growatt power station cost?+
Growatt's portable range starts at $799. Larger units in the same family carry 7,200 Wh of capacity and 7,200 W of output, which is where the extra money goes. Buyers on a smaller budget should weigh that starting price against ALLPOWERS at €89.
How long do Growatt batteries last?+
Cells are lifepo4 chemistry with a stated cycle life of 4,000 cycles. That chemistry is the one most brands in this group use, so longevity here sits in line with the category rather than ahead of it. Warranty cover runs 5 to 10 years on top of the cell rating.
