How long will the E10 run my house during an outage?

Runtime depends on the battery you install and your load. The base 6kWh battery covers essentials for hours; adding batteries up to 90kWh extends that to days for a typical home.

Can I add batteries later?

Yes. The system is modular and expands from 6kWh to 90kWh, so you can start with the base battery and add capacity as your needs or budget grow.

Does it work with solar panels?

Yes. It accepts up to 27kW of solar input, so it can store excess solar for evening use and keep the house powered when the grid is down.

How is it different from a standby generator?

It runs silently with no fuel and no exhaust, and it switches over in 20ms or less. A standby generator needs fuel delivery and maintenance but can run indefinitely if fueled.

What size load can it start?

Rated output is 7.6kW, with turbo and surge output up to 30kW and 66kW depending on configuration. That is enough to start central AC and well pumps, but large loads should be checked against your battery size.

Can I install it myself?

No. Whole-home backup with a transfer switch and 120/240V split-phase wiring requires a licensed electrician and typically permits, so plan for professional installation.
