Looks like Jackery is finally releasing the new 300 into the wild (Sept 1?). Supposedly $300 with promo code "JackeryE300".
Sadly the solar charge rate is stuck at the 62W point that the Jackery 240 and 500 are at. Unless you live in a super sunny location it's going to be tough to fully recharge this in a day. They claim it's an MPPT charge controller but on paper it's not any better than the others and has an input voltage range of 12.6V-24V (still no putting panels in series).
Output capabilities look much better than the 240 and 500 though. Two AC outlets, USB-C, Quick Charge 3.0...
If only they could have given it a solar charge max of at least 80W this would be more compelling to me as a 240 replacement.

The Jackery Explorer 300 is the ideal portable power station for short camping trips, off-grid living, and for powering small appliances when power outages.
