How A Home Backup Battery System Can Keep Your Home Running During Outages

As summer is coming, electricity prices gradually ramp up as everyone uses

As summer is coming, electricity prices gradually ramp up as everyone uses various electrical appliances to stay cool. However, high energy bills are no longer limited to the summer season; they are expected year-round. According to Statista, the retail price of electricity in the United States has increased almost every year since 1990 and is projected to continue rising.

Skyrocketing power price is already overwhelming; frequent power outages caused by extreme heat and weather are barely bearable. Power outages can cause several problems such as spoiled food, loss of communication, and medical emergencies. Therefore, it is essential to have a backup power source in place such as the BLUETTI EP900 & B500.

What is the BLUETTI EP900 & B500

BLUETTI, the top brand in the clean energy storage industry, brings out their first grid-tie modular Energy Storage System (ESS) – EP900 and B500 battery pack for households or small businesses. The EP900 can always deliver optimal performance regardless of the weather conditions.

Whether you’re looking to reduce your high electric bills, are tired of experiencing fluctuating power supply, or preparing for clean energy solutions, the BLUETTI EP900 ESS is a considerable choice for you.

KEY FEATURES

Uninterrupted power supply: switchover in 10ms

The BLUETTI EP900 is designed to provide a stable and seamless power supply during emergencies. It takes less than 10ms to switch from an on-grid connection to off-grid mode and provide stored power for your essential appliances such as refrigerators, lights, and medical equipment. This means you can rest easy without worrying about losing data or experiencing downtime.

Powerful capability: up to 9,000W output and 9,000W solar input

The EP900 is a grid-connected inverter that delivers up to 9,000W power for the whole household. It can run your 120V and 240V appliances with ease. With dual MPPT charge controllers inside, EP900 can maximize solar input at 9,000W, allowing you to easily reach power independence by solar. This makes it an ideal choice for small businesses, farms, and workplaces that are remote from the grid power.

Flexible capacity: 9.9kWh to 19.8kWh max.

Thanks to its modular design, you can customize the EP900's capacity according to your needs. You can choose two to four B500 battery packs, with each pack providing 4,960Wh of capacity. This allows you to create a capacity ranging from the least 9,920Wh to a maximum of 19,840Wh, plenty of power for power outages. A recent study by the Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory finds a small 10kWh solar ESS can fully meet backup needs over a 3-day outage in virtually all U.S. counties and any month of the year. That means a 19.8kWh EP900 with a solar system can get you through a nearly 6-day blackout, or two days without solar.

For increased power demands, you can also add more battery packs anytime without starting over again and spending more.

Wide compatibility: AC and DC coupled system

The EP900 system supports AC coupling and DC coupling to meet different needs. Whether you have installed a solar system or not, the EP900 can smoothly be integrated into your home grid and keep everything powered during power outages.

Durable design: Built to last with a 10-year warranty

The EP900 is encased in a durable and corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy. It comes with an IP65 rating to resist water splashes and dust. It utilizes the safest LiFePO4 batteries, which have a lifespan of at least ten years. Moreover, it comes with an advanced BMS that prevents short circuits, overcharging, and other potential hazards. BLUETTI also provides a ten-year warranty to guarantee hassle-free use.

Long-term investment

The cost of the EP900 with two B500 is approximately $3 per day over a minimum 10-year service life. However, it can save you a lot more over time. Traditional generators require gasoline which can be expensive. In contrast, the EP900 supports up to 9,000W solar input, allowing you to run your house with free solar energy or sell the excess back to the grid to make money. If you use 20kWh of solar power produced by your solar ESS per day, it can save you about $2,190 annually(Based on the California electricity rate of 30 cents per kWh), or more depending on your region and solar system.

When the Sun doesn't shine, you can still benefit from EP900 by storing cheap grid power during off-peak hours and powering your house during peak hours or power outages with it. Additionally, the minimal maintenance costs associated with the device further save you money in the long run.

Sustainable Development

The BLUETTI EP900 is an eco-friendly and quiet backup power source that runs on renewable energy instead of fossil fuels like traditional generators do. Unlike gas-powered generators that emit harmful gases into the environment when used, it produces no emissions or noise pollution, making it an environmentally friendly option for powering homes or businesses.

Conclusion

The BLUETTI EP900 is the ultimate power backup solution for your home. With this powerful device, you can keep your whole house running smoothly during blackouts, reduce your energy bills, and contribute to a more sustainable and greener planet.
