Dear reader, let’s discuss portable power plants for a moment. It’s high time we all start taking them a little more seriously. They are an excellent replacement or actually an alternative to traditional gas generators. But unlike traditional generators, they are fully electric, therefore environmentally friendly and produce no emissions, making them safer to use and opening up a wide range of possibilities. You can use them in your home or residence to power your equipment, for example, which is not something you should ever do with gas generators – standard generators cannot be used indoors. Another important point is that they have become incredibly capable, more so than anything that has come before, and with their latest launch, the EP600 powerhouse, Bluetti is upping the game even further.
The EP600 solar battery system and portable power plant are devastating to say the least. It is smaller and heavier than previous versions, but has a lot of power in the chassis. It has a bi-directional 6000W inverter for AC input and output, which allows it to run almost all household appliances and via 230 to 400 volt options. It also supports a 6000W solar input to keep the cell and everything connected to it charged through renewable energy. As a solar system, it also offers a built-in battery back-up solution to conserve energy — an absolutely essential feature when off-grid. If you have even a passing interest in the technology, you must read on to learn more — it’s equally fascinating and impressive.

Bluetti’s EP600: serves many roles

Usually, when you have a portable power plant, you also need a lot of additional equipment, including auxiliary batteries, solar panels, and more — such as an inverter or MPPT controller to optimize solar power. This is not at all the case with Bluetti’s EP600, which is both a portable power plant and a solar battery system.
Thus, it serves as an independent energy source when you need it and a home energy storage system, but also as a fully functional solar battery solution. You can easily connect solar panels — up to 6,000 watts — and the hybrid inverter system inside the belly does all the work. You don’t need a special inverter or MPPT. The energy can then be used to charge the station for later, power all connected devices or keep the power on during an outage – effectively powering your most important household appliances too. The EP600 is intended to be paired with B500 expansion batteries, each bringing 4,960 watt-hours to the table, with a maximum of 16 battery modules supported to achieve a total capacity of 79.3k-watt-hours. That’s enough power to cover all your household needs — or even your off-grid needs — for a week or more.
But because it’s modular and lightweight, it can be used anywhere, highlighting one of the biggest and best advantages of a portable power plant. You can use it offline while living in a cabin or out in the wild. You can use it on the road, either in a standard vehicle or a caravan. You can even use it in your home, such as your backyard to power electronics, tools, and anything else that might need power.
When is the EP600 coming and what is the price?

Final pricing is still being worked out, but what’s worth noting is that the highly recommended combo, which includes the EP600 and two B500 batteries, will cost less than €9,500, as revealed by James Ray, Bluetti’s marketing director. That super useful pack exponentially increases the overall capacity of the system, and while you can always add more batteries later, two are enough to cover almost anything the average consumer might need. This is also what makes Bluetti’s solutions completely modular and highly customizable. You can also expand capacity and capabilities to meet your lifestyle needs and your family’s power requirements wherever applicable.
Starting in November, pre-orders will be available on Bluetti’s official website. You can head over to the site now to sign up for the latest news and updates, including a chance to get early bird pricing!
Bluetti first showed off the EP600 and B500 at IFA 2022 in Berlin earlier this month. During this time we got our first glimpse of the new technology and what it can do, but more will follow. Stay tuned because the EP600 is just getting started, as is the Bluetti. Note that since the EP600+B500 system is three-phase — 230 volts to 400 volts — it is not relevant for countries using 100 to 120 mains voltage. Those in the United States and Japan don’t fret because another secret whole-home power solution from Bluetti is in the works.
One thing is for sure: we all need to start taking portable powerhouses, specifically Bluetti’s EP600, much more seriously. They’ve taken portable power to a whole new level, meaning power solutions are bigger and better than ever.
