The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus is a LiFePO4 portable power station with 5,040Wh of capacity and 7,200W of rated output (14,400W surge). This kit adds the Jackery Smart Transfer Switch. The battery is rated for 4,000 charge cycles, which the material puts at roughly 11 years of use. It uses ChargeShield 2.0.
The station has native 120V and 240V output. It runs central AC (up to 5 tons), well pumps, dryers and ranges. Its 0ms online UPS function keeps critical devices from seeing an outage. An app lets you track consumption and control the system remotely.
The station accepts both high- and low-voltage PV input, up to 4,000W, and recharges in about 2 hours of full sun. Capacity expands up to 60kWh with add-on battery packs: up to five Battery Pack 5000 Plus units per station, and two stations can be paralleled.
