As early as July 2020, renewable energy company BLUETTI set its sights on the solar storage market and announced the launch of its first 2000 watt battery product BLUETTI AC200. They raised more than 6.8 million US dollars during the crowdfunding period, breaking the highest record of similar financing and leaving their competitors far behind.

BLUETTI aims to surprise the energy storage world by releasing its first series of home energy storage systems-EP500 and EP500 Pro. Compared with existing giants such as Powerwall or SonnenCore, the EP500 series has a much smaller capacity of 5.1kWh. But EP500 has four smoothly rolling transport wheels, which does not mean that it is a large solar cell installed on a wall or garage. BLUETTI EP500 is designed as a "no installation", plug-and-play powerful function, which can be easily moved to the desired location when needed.

Before we start, here are the main specifications:

EP500 is designed to meet your basic needs during power outages. EP500 is equipped with a 2000W pure sine wave AC inverter with a surge power of up to 4800W. The Pro version can provide 3000W of continuous power. Both are equipped with 5100Wh, based on ultra-durable and safe LiFePO4 battery cells (up to 6,000 charging cycles).

BLUETTI is committed to building an eco-friendly future with renewable energy, getting rid of antique gasoline generators that produce toxic smoke pollution, unbearable noise and consume non-renewable petroleum resources.

EP500 is equipped with advanced MPPT solar inverter. Up to 1200W (2400W for the professional version) solar input can fully charge a 5.1kWh battery pack from 0 in less than 5 hours (2.5 hours for the professional version). Using BLUETTI's latest 200W portable solar panel-SP200, you can use solar energy at full speed anywhere.

Last but not least, the Bluetti EP500 series can also be charged with solar and AC power at the same time, can handle up to 1800W (4000W for the professional version) and charge the battery pack at lightning speed.

The EP500 series weighs about 180 pounds, which is about the same size as an ordinary household air purifier. With 4 smooth rolling wheels, the EP500 series can still be moved easily.

Compared with the backup power systems installed by Tesla Powerwall and LG Chem RESU, the BLUETTI EP500 series is incredibly mobile and can even be packaged for road trips.

24/7 seamless UPS and WiFi remote control

An uninterruptible power supply (UPS) is an electrical device that can provide emergency power to the basic load in the event of a grid failure. EP500 & EP500 Pro are the key to providing continuous power to help you survive power outages easily.

With BLUETTI EP500, you no longer have to face the panic during power outages, all your data on the computer will be well preserved, the food in your refrigerator will not get cold, and all the lights you need will be on all the time.

The UPS function of EP500 series is plug and play, you only need to connect it to the wall socket and turn on the UPS mode. However, you can also integrate the device into your home circuit by using the BLUETTI home integration kit to get more power.

For remote monitoring and operation, the BLUETTI EP500 series now supports remote applications. With its unique B-Lynk connection technology, you can easily monitor the status of your EP500 and adjust its status whether it is near you or thousands of miles away. set up. It is no longer necessary to walk to a unit to determine the remaining battery or inverter capacity.

The rated output power of the 2000/3000 continuous watt AC inverter is quite high, but it is certainly not enough to power all your appliances. As an emergency energy storage power supply for the whole family, Bluetti can choose to double the AC output. For higher power loads, Bluetti is releasing its own "phase box". Users can use it to connect two EP500/Pro in series to double the rated output power and capacity. The box will also provide 220/240 volt output options to power 240 volt appliances, which means you can now easily run household air conditioners, clothes dryers, in-wall heaters and other high-power appliances. No longer have to worry about power outages on hot summer nights or cold and severe winters.

The bluetti team promised that EP500 will start shipping in June and EP500 Pro will start shipping in August. The delivery time is not short, but based on the feedback from their supporters at the AC200 event, it is definitely worth the wait.

To make up for the long wait for customers, BLUETTI provides its crowdfunding supporters with 3-year warranty and lifetime technical support for EP500 and EP500 Pro. In addition, you can also pay a two-year extended warranty of US$399 or US$699, bringing the total warranty period to 5 years.

An EP500 (Super Early Bird Discount) starts at US$2799 (US$0.55/Wh, 30% discount), and you can save an additional US$100 by ordering two US$5399 (31% discount), which is almost 80% of the capacity The cost of Tesla Powerwall2 is only half.
