Bluetti’s EP900 Is the Home Backup Power You Don’t Want to Miss Out On

Invest in Bluetti's EP900 and get emergency home backup and sell unused electricity back to the grid!

Are you looking for a reliable home backup power solution that won't let you down? If you're looking for something to help you get through the blackouts, Bluetti's EP900 could be just the ticket.

This powerful backup power station can be integrated with existing solar roof panels, too, so if you don't use all the surplus energy you have, you can even sell it back to the grid. It's a win-win!

The EP900 is the successor to the EP600, which was launched back in 2022 as Bluetti's first Energy Storage System (ESS). This modular device can be paired with Bluetti's B500 expansion batteries to enjoy the EP900 to its full capacity. This ranges from 9.9kWh to 39kWh and up to 9kW (with four B500 batteries) pure sine wave output power.

Whether you're looking for a power solution for your outdoor adventures, at home, or even in the office, the Bluetti EP900 is sure to impress.

Some of its stand-out features include its modular design, IP65 waterproof casing for indoor or outdoor use, LiFePO4 battery with intelligent BMS, 24/7 UPS, and compatibility with the Bluetti app. It's never been easier to control and monitor your expandable power solution. And, with a 10-year warranty, the EP900 is built to last.

Constructed with an aluminum shell that resists wear and tear, and is waterproof, the EP900 can continue working reliably in even the harshest conditions. Whether you're at home or not, you can continue to control the EP900 from your smartphone. The Bluetti app (available from the Google Play Store and App Store) enables you to manage power consumption, view current charging status, perform updates, and set up different working modes from one place.

From living in areas prevalent to storms, or simply experiencing extreme weather events, you never know when you'll need backup power for your home. No matter what the season is, natural disasters can, unfortunately, occur, leaving houses without power when it's needed the most. With more people working from home, it's imperative to have a reliable battery backup system, otherwise a lack of work due to power outages can lead to a lack of household funds.

Bluetti's EP900 delivers a whopping 9kW output with a maximum capacity of 39kWh. This means it's capable of meeting almost all home or work requirements. If you pair the EP900 with four B500 batteries, you'll get 19.8kWh (max 9kW output), or you can pair two EP900s with eight B500 for 39kWh (max 18kW).

So, you can keep working on your computer, making important calls, enjoying a refrigerator full of food, and relax on the couch with your favorite TV show even when the power grid goes down.

Not only is the Bluetti EP900 a reliable emergency power device, but it's also a solid investment solution if you want to store surplus solar energy. What's more, if you don't need it, you can sell it back to the grid. If you already have solar panels installed, the Bluetti EP900 can take advantage of what's already there.

During the day, solar panels generate solar energy when the sun is shining. This can be used to power appliances or Bluetti power stations. When night falls and the sun is no longer shining, solar panels stop working. Rather than wasting this precious energy, the EP900 gives you access to solar power, regardless of sunlight.

The Bluetti B500 batteries can store excess solar energy, too, so you can enjoy free solar energy in larger capacities. This is especially useful for smaller devices that need charging up or powering.

And, since Bluetti is now certified to sell electricity, you can revel in the possibilities of long-term ROI.

Using the Bluetti app, you can set up Peak Load Shifting. This results in the EP900 being charged with low-price grid power when it's available. Discharging takes place during peak hours (around 4 pm to 10 pm) when electricity prices are higher; this helps to offset monthly bills and drive down the cost of your energy.

Pairing the perfect combination of EP900+B500 also extends the lifespan of your devices thanks to the LiFePO4 battery cells. They are said to last between four to six times longer than lithium batteries, which is why Bluetti also offers a 10-year warranty, so you know your investment has been worthwhile.

With its IP65 rating, the EP900 is dust and water-resistant, which means you can use it indoors and outdoors. The protective case means it's far more resistant to damage, even if it's being used outdoors in extremely hot or cold temperatures, or during snow storms.

The EP900 is a beast of a machine, but from the specifications below, you'll see just why it's a reliable choice to use as home backup power.

Hooked up to the grid, the EP900 offers multiple layers of protection including anti-islanding protection, output overcurrent protection, short-circuit protection, over-temperature derating, and over-temperature shutdown. Off-grid it also provides output overcurrent protection, output short-circuit protection, and over-temperature protection.

Thanks to its modular design, the Bluetti EP900 can be wall-mounted at home for convenience. When stacked, no pressure is applied to the wall, so you won't have to worry about any breakages or damages. All you need to do is stack the batteries and then fix them to the wall indoors or outdoors.

While it's easy to tackle on your own, if you would prefer some assistance, Bluetti also offers a certified installation service so you have even less to worry about.

Boasting a sleek and modern design, the EP900 can save on electricity costs, earn you money (if you sell back to the grid), and offer a reliable source of exceptional energy when you need it. Backed by a generous 10-year warranty, Bluetti continues to offer green energy solutions that last a long time and are well worth the investment.
