As the renewable energy sector continues to evolve, Bluetti has taken a significant leap forward with its latest innovation in home power solutions. Revealed at the RE+ 2024 trade show, Bluetti’s newly upgraded energy storage system sets a new benchmark for power capacity, flexibility, and smart grid integration. Though not yet available for sale, the system has already generated considerable buzz among solar enthusiasts and off-grid homeowners.
A Major Step Forward in Whole-Home Power Management
Bluetti’s upgraded home energy system is engineered for true whole-home power backup. With its 200-amp passthrough capability, the system allows direct connection to your home’s main panel, enabling seamless internal switching. This eliminates the need for external transfer switches, simplifying installation for professionals and DIYers alike.
- Direct 200A passthrough for entire-home support
- Internal switching simplifies installation
- First-of-its-kind in Bluetti’s product lineup
This powerful integration means users can run their entire household, including high-demand appliances, without relying on the grid during outages.
Scalable Power with Intelligent System Control
One of the most compelling features is its scalable architecture. Users can parallel up to three of these units using an advanced control module that offers Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and even cloud-based connectivity. This brain of the system also supports utility communication for demand response programs.
- Control up to three units in parallel
- Monitor performance via a smart touchscreen interface
- Supports demand response signals from utilities
This makes the system an excellent choice not only for personal energy independence but also for grid-tied homes looking to reduce peak energy loads.
Flexible Battery Stacking for Custom Needs
The Bluetti EP1300 is a high-capacity wall-mounted home energy storage system revealed at RE+ 2024. It packs a powerful punch by supporting the modular IB500 battery units (each at 4,800 Wh), allowing up to four batteries for a 13.2 kW continuous output when paired with AC300/AC500 inverters.
Bluetti has re-engineered its battery modules for better performance and ease of use. The new IB500 battery offers 4,800Wh of energy storage per unit respectively and enable a tiered power output based on battery count:
- 2 batteries: 7,600W output
- 3 batteries: 11,000W output
- 4 batteries: Full 13.2kW continuous output
This modular approach means homeowners can start small and expand as their energy needs grow, without overhauling the entire system.
Enhanced Solar and Generator Compatibility
To support more solar input, Bluetti now offers four MPPT solar charge controllers, each rated for 15 amps. That brings the system’s total solar input capacity to 22,000W, rivaling even commercial-grade setups.
- Four MPPT inputs for flexible panel configurations
- Daisy-chained Anderson connectors for simplified cabling
- Integration with existing solar setups and generators
Additionally, Bluetti has developed a new ATS (Automatic Transfer Switch) prototype for advanced microgrid configurations. This “mid-device” allows seamless coordination between solar, generator, and storage units, enabling a smart, interconnected home power network.
Rugged Outdoor Compatibility and Future-Proof Design
Built for both indoor and outdoor setups, the system features IP65-rated enclosures and optional aluminum cabinets for protection against weather exposure. These cabinets come in different sizes to accommodate both 2- and 4-battery configurations.
- Outdoor-rated with IP65 protection
- Expandable enclosures for future upgrades
- Rear wall mounts to prevent toppling
Future iterations are expected to offer refined cable management and 90-degree connectors, addressing customer feedback and improving overall system aesthetics.
Final Thoughts: A Game-Changer in Residential Energy Storage
With its intelligent design, scalable architecture, and seamless integration of solar and backup power, Bluetti’s latest innovation is a true game-changer. Whether you’re a homeowner seeking independence from the grid, or a DIY enthusiast building a microgrid, this system brings flexibility and control to a whole new level.
Expect official launch details and pricing to follow soon—but one thing’s for sure: the future of home energy is here, and it’s powered by Bluetti.
