Pecron F3000 · F3000LFP

Pecron F3000 (F3000LFP)

Pecron F3000 is the F3000LFP. Published specifications, a current Amazon.com price when available, and a cited Solar Lab street-vs-list note. Our first-hand array reference is the Pecron F5000LFP.

Manufacturer-published (amazon-listing-title + solarwaypoint.com spec table): the Pecron F3000 (F3000LFP) is listed at 3,072Wh and 3,600W AC (4,500W surge), 1,600W solar input (12-120V), 63.3 lb, no 240V outlet. Best-case solar recharge from those specs: 1.9 h.

The Solar Lab documented a Pecron F3000 listed at a $1,999 “retail” that the reviewer says has never been charged, with a permanent street discount (the reviewer’s figure at the time was $799). Use the current Amazon price when shown and treat that cited note as context for comparing street prices rather than an MSRP. Current Amazon.com figure in the latest price check: $899.

F3000LFP or F5000LFP: which fits?

Choose the F3000LFP when its lighter, 120V-only format covers your loads. Choose the larger F5000LFP when you need more capacity, higher output, and the listed 240V outlet. The table keeps that recommendation grounded in published figures; first-hand array evidence is on the F5000LFP build page.

Browse other Pecron models or estimate refrigerator runtime before choosing a capacity.

What is a watt-hour?

A watt-hour (Wh) is stored energy: watts × hours. A 1,000Wh pack can theoretically supply 100W for 10 hours, or 50W for 20 hours. Real runtime is shorter once you count inverter loss and idle draw.

Hours below are estimates from capacity ÷ labeled average watts. They are not first-hand measurements of an appliance we ran. The pack size in the table is a published watt-hour rating, not a runtime we measured.

Example runtimes at 3,072Wh (this pack’s published capacity).

Is the Pecron F3000 the same as the F3000LFP?

Yes. Pecron F3000 is a shortened name for the Pecron F3000LFP.

Does this page include first-hand idle or fridge numbers?

This page publishes manufacturer specs and the cited Solar Lab street-vs-list note. The documented hands-on reference is the solar array on the Pecron F5000LFP. Arithmetic hours at labeled average watts are in the watt-hour explainer above — those are estimates from published capacity; use them for sizing, not as an appliance test.

How does the Pecron F3000 compare to the F5000LFP?

The F3000LFP is the lighter, 120V-only pack (3,072Wh, 3,600W,63.3 lb). The F5000LFP is the larger 240V unit (5,120Wh, 7,200W,123.9 lb). The F5000LFP adds capacity, output, and listed 240V capability. All Pecron SKUs we track are on the Pecron hub.
