Bluetti, a leading energy storage solutions provider, has announced the launch of two new flagship energy storage kits: the EnergyPro 6K and the Apex 300. These innovative systems are designed to provide reliable, efficient, and scalable power solutions for homes, off-grid sites, and beyond.
The EnergyPro 6K is a fixed whole-home backup solution that requires professional installation. It can be configured with 5.8kW to 29kW of power output and between 7.68kWh and 38.4kWh of LFP battery storage. This system is ideal for small to medium-sized homes and seamlessly integrates with existing rooftop solar systems. Additionally, it can be paired with a Bluetti AT1 Smart Distribution Box to provide whole-home backup to critical circuits and automatic cutover to a standby generator when needed.
In contrast, the Apex 300 is a modular, portable DIY solution that provides power when and where it's needed. It features 3840W of max AC output and 3072Wh of LFP battery storage. The system can be combined with Bluetti's B300K, B300, and B300S batteries, including future expansion batteries yet to be announced. The Apex 300 has an idle power draw of 20W, making it an efficient option for large inverters that can support both 120V and 240V loads.
One of the key benefits of the Apex 300 is its scalability. Multiple units can be linked in parallel to increase the maximum output to 11.52kW, making it capable of powering almost any home device or electric vehicle. Storage capacity can be expanded to 58kWh with three units and 18 battery packs, allowing an entire home to run for several days in the event of a blackout or much longer if only powering critical devices.
Bluetti's rebranding efforts are centered around three series of power solutions: EnergyPro products that require professional installation, Apex systems for advanced energy demands, and the smaller Elite lineup of portable power stations and solar generators for more casual use. The company is also teasing an EnergyPro 13K system, which will offer 13.2kW to 39.6kW of output and between 9.6kWh and 57.6kWh of storage capacity.
While prices for the EnergyPro 6K and Apex 300 have not been disclosed, it's expected that they will start in the low thousands, with fully specced installations potentially reaching tens of thousands of dollars. The Apex 300 is expected to be available in April in the US, while the EnergyPro 6K is slated for release in Q2 of 2025.
Bluetti's new energy storage kits demonstrate the company's commitment to providing innovative, reliable, and efficient power solutions for a wide range of applications. As the world continues to shift towards renewable energy sources and decentralized power systems, Bluetti's products are well-positioned to meet the growing demand for scalable, modular energy storage solutions.
