Everything You Want, All In One

The AC500 and B300S, an expandable power system, will transform how you utilize solar energy. This system is built to support you during power outages, ensuring you remain connected to an endless supply of energy no matter where your journey takes you.

 

 

Power Option For Personalization

Thanks to its modular design, the AC500 can accommodate up to 6×B300S or 4×B300 (or a mix of B300 and B300S) expansion batteries, providing a total capacity of 18,432Wh and 12,288Wh, respectively, which can meet your off-grid power requirements for several days! Fortunately, AC300 owners seeking a more robust inverter don’t need to purchase a new bundle, as the 5,000W inverter in the AC500 can easily meet their needs.

 

 

Powerful, Wonderful

The integrated inverter provides a continuous pure sine wave output of 5,000W, with the capability to handle surges of up to 10kW for short periods during peak power. This ensures that any device you connect will operate at its maximum efficiency and capability without any hassle. It is ideal for various situations, including camping or enjoying a barbecue in the garden.

 

 

Endless Solar Energy For Free

Equipped with an advanced MPPT controller, the AC500 can handle solar inputs of up to 3,000W, enabling a charging speed that is 40% quicker than typical rates. This means that fully charging an AC500+B300S combination takes approximately 1.5 hours*. *Please note that this charging time is based on optimal conditions and is for reference only. Actual charging times may vary due to ambient temperature and other factors.

 

 

Unparalleled Recharging Experience

The AC500 system is versatile in its recharging options, allowing you to connect it directly to solar panels, use a car’s cigarette lighter, or take advantage of a more efficient 5,000W charging cable*. Impressively, the AC500 can handle an input rate of up to 8,000W*, enabling a full recharge in just 1.5 hours. *To achieve this, a 50A charging cable or a connection to the grid is required. Additionally, it necessitates at least two B300S packs to dual charge through both 3,000W solar and 5,000W AC. If you use only one B300, the input rate will be limited to 4,500W.

 

 

Safe, Smart, And Seamless UPS Backup

Whenever the grid fails, the AC500 system will seamlessly serve as your home energy source, ensuring that all essential loads remain operational without interruption. It also features a sophisticated Battery Management System (BMS) and a LiFePO4 battery, which provide enhanced safety during operation, extended life cycles, and optimal performance.

 

 

Monitor & Control In The Palm Of Your Hand

The user-friendly BLUETTI App and touchscreen enable you to manage everything effortlessly, including power input/output, real-time energy usage, charging settings, OTA firmware updates, and more.
