Bluetti AC500 and EP900 Installation in Colorado
Bluetti makes both portable systems like the AC500 and permanent home systems like the EP900. Each connects to your home differently. We install and integrate both, with the subpanel work, permit and inspection handled.
Two kinds of Bluetti home backup
The install depends on which Bluetti you have.
AC500 (modular portable system)
The AC500 pairs with Bluetti's expansion batteries and connects to your home through Bluetti's AC500 Home Integration Kit, a subpanel with a manual transfer switch and an inlet for the AC500's cable. During an outage you plug in and switch your essential circuits over.
EP800 and EP900 (permanent home systems)
These are wall- or floor-mounted home energy storage systems wired permanently into your electrical system. Bluetti recommends running essential loads through a dedicated subpanel, so the installation usually includes a critical-loads subpanel and a connection to your main panel.
Critical-loads subpanel: the heart of the job
Most Bluetti home installs come down to a critical-loads subpanel: a smaller panel that holds the circuits you want backed up, like the fridge, furnace, internet, lights and well pump. We move those circuits from your main panel, connect the subpanel to your Bluetti system and label everything so you know what stays on in an outage.
Choosing circuits is where a site visit pays off. Big 240-volt loads like a well pump, dryer or central air need extra planning, and some Bluetti setups handle them only in certain configurations.
Grid-tied EP900 and solar
An EP900 that connects to the grid and to solar panels is a grid-tied energy storage system, so it needs utility interconnection approval, Xcel Energy's for most Front Range homes, along with the electrical permit. We handle both. If you want the EP900 to run only as backup without exporting to the grid, we'll design and permit it that way.
For an AC500, we can add panels that charge it directly, sized to what it accepts.
