The Costco listing says the panel is 400W monocrystalline with "sunlight‑trapping surface" and up to 23% efficiency .
But folding panels have inherent losses:
Cell spacing
Wiring between segments
Heat buildup
Non‑ideal angle
Light diffusion across folds
Typical real output for ANY 400W folding panel:
240–300W normal
300–330W good sun
350W peak unicorn moment
So 243W is right in the normal range.
��️ 2. The Costco panel is large and rugged — not ultra‑efficient
The panel weighs 35.54 lb and measures 39 × 26.6 × 2 inches folded .
That tells us:
It's built for durability (IP67 waterproof)
Not optimized for maximum efficiency per square inch
Not a glass rigid panel (those hit higher wattage)
Rugged = reliable
Portable = convenient
But not peak efficiency.

Would rather have this Anker but I would sell the panel it comes with and get the Renogy 400w rigid panel.

But I would get this C2000 for the cigarette lighter DC connection, extra USBC 140w port, and extra solar capacity. I don't need the 30v port for RV connection but its also only on the C2000.
Both should be great as a UPS.
Weight 41 lbs.
🤔
41lbs for the powerstation is accurate also.

alsomthis has a higher surge wattage. think the new one was around 2000w where this is 4000w.

You'll get another solar panel that you can setup in parallel ( it won't support series) and you can charge one while being able to use the other one (since you'll need battery pack plug into main unit to charge).
It's not like you increase your total watt and surge watt (2000w full, 4000w surge) by plugging another battery pack.
Finally Costco return policy makes it a hot deal
