How long will it run my house during an outage?

The kit's 10kWh covers essentials like a fridge, lights and router for a day or more. Heavy loads like a dryer or well pump drain it in a few hours, so add batteries for longer outages.

Yes. It outputs 120V and 240V at 7,200W continuous and 14,400W peak, which covers most residential well pumps and electric dryers.

How fast does it recharge?

AC charging at 1,800W takes about 3.5 hours. The two included SolarSaga 500X panels give 1,000W and take about 6.5 hours in full sun; the system accepts up to 4,000W of solar with more panels.

What is the difference between Backup Mode and Online UPS mode?

Backup Mode switches over in about 20ms and limits AC output to 13.2A, which suits fridges and dryers. Online UPS mode allows up to 30A with 0ms switchover for routers and sensitive electronics.

What comes in the box?

One Explorer 5000 Plus, one Battery Pack 5000 Plus, one Smart Transfer Switch, two SolarSaga 500X panels, an AC charging cable, an expansion cable and an MC4 wrench.

Can I add more batteries later?
