GridMatch assessment

Editorial take by GridMatch Editors

The Bluetti AC500 paired with one B300S is a modular 3.07 kWh LiFePO4 system with 5,000 W continuous output and 10,000 W surge, expanding to 18.4 kWh. A single AC500 is 120V only — split-phase 240V requires two AC500 units joined by a P030A Fusion Box, and Bluetti notes combined split-phase output tops out around 7,200 W rather than 10,000 W. No wheels — separate inverter head and battery. The Home Integration Kit for one AC500 + B300S is a 120V / 5,000 W manual transfer path, not a 240V panel feed.

What works

  • Expandable to 18.4kWh
  • 20 ms UPS switchover
  • LiFePO4 chemistry
  • 5kW continuous output

Tradeoffs

  • No native 240V from a single unit
  • Transfer switch is manual — you flip it during an outage
  • No wheels — the station stays put
