Uh, you could have purchased 60kwh of brand name LiFePO4 batteries and a nice 10kw AIO unit for about $16k.

Jackery is a bit more plug and play though.

Is it a hybrid system that can feed into the grid?

If I bought a rooftop solar system and a Tesla powerwall that would be expensive as well I have oil here , so I’d have to install a propane tank and keep filling that Plus buy a whole house generator For me I’d rather buy the Jackery for whole house backup

The solar is better in the long run. Saves you on utility bills and gives you the ability to continously generate power

I don’t disagree but my gf wasn’t going for it The solar and Tesla powerwall are also much more expensive And you can use the Jackery to lower power bills also

Hey I am looking at the jackery 3000 (with solar panels) can you talk mktr about the federal tax credit. I know it is a thing, how did you go about applying for it and what not. I am going to look more into tomorrow but a starting point would be awesome

I have a similar bluetti setup. I like that it's modular, but I'd probably never do it again.

How many watts does your bluetti get

MrBrawn@reddit

10k watt at 50amp. I only have e0kwatt storage though but could double if I wanted.

I just wanted to get rid of the worry of a multi day blackout I lived thru superstorm sandy ,where power was out for a week and it was terrible

Yeah same here. I'm down in Florida and have this and gas generators. This also helps cut the power bill, which is nice.
