The EP800 delivers a powerful 7600W, while the B500 batteries provide nearly 15kWh of storage, making it a solid option for those looking to go off-grid or secure reliable backup power. This system also supports up to 9kW of solar input. Keep in mind, this isn't an exhaustive installation guide—just sharing my journey as I navigate this setup.
