In July 2021, BLUETTI firstly revealed the modular solar power station– AC300 and LFP battery module-B300, which soon became popular throughout the portable solar storage industry. Only one year later, an even more powerful successor-AC500+B300S combo is going to be released on the crowdfunding platform Indiegogo. Scroll down for specific information.

Impressive Power – A Huge Leap Forward
When it comes to AC output, you must be surprised by the 5,000W continuous AC output and 10,000W surge to meet your every need. Investing in such a solar-powered monster might be the most brilliant move for creating backup power at home. It’s able to power all your household appliances without any fuss, such as dryers, refrigerators, coffee makers, and more.
Expandable Capacity – Out of Imagination
Each AC500 welcomes up to six B300s battery packs for a total capacity of 18,432Wh. Making it a solid power center to run your home essentials for days or weeks. With enough solar panels, you can literally realize power independence, unlimited energy supply will be available for your entire house, outdoor camping, road trip, etc.
LiFePO4 – Charge Safer, Last Longer
BLUETTI adopts a safe and reliable LiFePO4 battery for long-term durability and 3,500+ charging cycles to 80% of its original capacity. Compared to the lithium-ion battery that most power stations and power banks use in the market, the LiFePO4 battery type offers optimal performance, you can expect to live with it for over 10 years.
Multiple Charging Options – Highly Flexible, Incredibly Fast
Charging a power monster doesn’t have to be time-consuming. AC500 can be charged by AC, solar, generator, lead-acid battery, dual, or triple charging methods. Plug in the wall outlet and solar panels, and you can efficiently charge the AC500 as speedy as 1 hour with a max. 8,000W input.
Charging time for AC500 with two B300S (for reference ONLY):
- 3,000W MPPT solar charge: ≈2.5 hours
- 5,000W AC charging: ≈1.7 hours
- 8,000W AC+PV dual charging:≈ 1.2 hour
24/7 UPS – Added Peace of Mind
Given the Uninterrupted Power Supply (UPS) system, there’s no need to worry about losing data or hardware damage in the event of a power outage since it can automatically detect the blackout the moment it occurs and provide power supply as soon as 20ms that no one can even be aware of. It actually matters a lot, especially for those who live in rural areas where power failure happens now and again.
BLUETTI App – Monitor And Control at Fingertips
With BLUETTI App, you can remotely control AC500 at home at any time with just a cell phone. Making it easy and convenient to power it on and off, check the SOC (state of charge), and OTA update the firmware to the latest version from merely the palm of your hand.
