3. Wide Compatibility
Besides B300S, AC500 is compatible with up to 4*B300 battery packs (3,072Wh each). More surprisingly, you can connect both models simultaneously to customize the capacity according to your particular needs. For those who purchased the AC300+B300 combo while looking for higher AC output, they can just buy AC500 alone to work with B300, then get a 5,000W pure sine wave inverter.
* 3,000W AC output for AC500+1*B300, and 5,000W for AC500+2*B300 or more.
4. More Powerful
Being the first solar generator with 5,000W continuous output power, AC500 allows you to run multiple electronics simultaneously and even effortlessly run heavy-duty appliances, including air conditioners, heaters, ovens, cutting machines, etc.
The “Split Phase Bonding Function” lets you combine two AC500 units (with at least 2*B300S or B300) for a massive 10KW output power if integrated into your home grid. Or 7,200W by BLUETTI P030A Fusion Box (sold separately).
