Same Size, Different Energy
AC300 boasts a 3,000W output power, while AC500 has raised to 5,000W. The AC300 can work with up to 4 B300 to reach 12,288Wh capacity, whereas the AC500 can support up to 6 x B300S for 18,432Wh or 4 x B300 for 12,288Wh. The Split Phase Bonding function allows a fully packed system of 240V, 6kW, and 24.6kWh for two AC300 units or 240V, 7.2kW, and 36.8kWh for two AC500 units.
Fast Charging
AC300 features up to 5,400W input rate via AC outlet and solar panels simultaneously. However, the AC500 takes this a step further – 8,000W! An AC500 + 2 x B300S system 0-80% recharging takes 40 minutes.
Solar Energy
The AC300 system supports a maximum solar input of 2,400W, while the AC500 supports up to 3,000W. Portable BLUETTI solar panels can be used to charge with them to provide different combinations.
Battery Level-Up
B300S is designed with a 500W maximum solar input to reduce charging time, an intelligent self-heating capability to improve low-temperature discharging performance and a longer lifespan.
Considering the $1,200 price difference, the AC300 may be suitable for general use, while the AC500 is better for colder regions due to its advanced performance.
