Bluetti, a leading provider of energy storage solutions, unveiled its innovative EP800 energy storage system at the RE+2023 event. The EP800 system is designed to address the increasing demand for reliable energy solutions, especially in light of frequent power outages in recent years. Severe storms hit parts of Michigan & Ohio on August 23, leaving over 600,000 residents without power by the 25th. States like Louisiana, Oregon, Texas, Mississippi, and West Virginia experienced significant power interruptions throughout 2021, often due to extreme weather events.
A Bluetti representative stated, “The EP800 energy storage system closely follows its predecessor, the EP900, embracing the same modular design philosophy.” Homeowners are offered by this system a superior alternative to traditional gas generators or less powerful batteries. The EP800 can power multiple high-consumption appliances simultaneously, with a maximum continuous output of 9,000W at either 120V or 240V. Its modular design allows for the addition of multiple battery packs, providing a capacity range from 9,920Wh to an impressive 19,840Wh.
The solar compatibility of the EP800 ensures users can harness renewable energy, equipped with dual MPPT charge controllers for a solar input rate of 9,000W. A Bluetti spokesperson highlighted, “Our user-friendly mobile app allows homeowners to monitor & manage their EP800 systems with ease.” The EP800, designed for efficiency, operates smoothly within temperatures of -4°F to 122°F and has noise levels comparable to a kitchen refrigerator.
The EP800 system, as an investment, offers both individual and environmental benefits with a lifespan of at least ten years, backed by Bluetti’s ten-year warranty. The daily cost of the system translates to approximately $3, offering potential passive income opportunities for homeowners. The EP800, unlike traditional gasoline generators, harnesses renewable energy and produces zero harmful emissions. Bluetti announced that the EP800 & B500 energy storage system would be available from September 15, starting at a price of $5,999. Bluetti, in a unique gesture, is offering a 30-day free trial of the EP800 system to 30 households with monthly bills exceeding $100. The company stated, “After the trial, participants can either return the product at no cost or avail an incredible 40% off the retail price.”
