                      THE BENEFITS

                      There's a lot of things to love about the LifePO4 technology from exceptionally fast charging times, to multiple outputs, and safety for you and the environment.
                      • Weighs Less

                        At only 23 lbs, and a standard group 24 size (small footprint), this LiFePO4 battery is about 1/2 the weight of traditional batteries yet exceptionally powerful.
                      • Renewable Solar Batteries

                        Use the power of the sun to fully recharge this LiFePO4 battery in as little as 7 hrs. That way you can have full energy independence for as long as you need.
                      • Zero Maintenance

                        Use the power of the sun to fully recharge this No acid or water. No trickle charging. No mess. All of our LiFePO4 batteries work day in and day out. battery in as little as 7 hrs. That way you can have full energy independence for as long as you need.
                      • Safety

                        Made from Lithium Iron Phosphate, it's the safest lithium battery on the market. You can use it indoors or outdoors as it doesn't use potentially volatile chemistry.
                      • Power to Spare

                        Standard lead acid batteries give you 50% usable energy or Ah. Our LiFePO4 batteries give you 100% usage or all Amp hours. You'll be able to stay charged in your off grid home as long as you need to on a single charge.
                      • 10 Year Warranty

                        All of our LiFePO4 batteries all come with a limited 10 year warranty and will be the last battery you'll probably ever need. Using Lithium Iron Phosphate technology, it can be drained and recharge over 3,500 times, 10-20 years longer than Lead Acid batteries.

                      • Lasts Longer

                        Long lasting life cycles at 3,500+ using full depth of discharge (DOD) and still has power to spare. It can hold a charge for up to 2 years.
                      • Expandable for More Memory

                        Our LiFePO4 batteries have anywhere from 150A-300A continuously and a 900A-1500A peak discharge. If you need more, they can be connected in parallel or in series to get even energy storage and more power.
                      • Environmentally Friendly

                        All of our batteries produce zero emissions or carbon footprint during use. They emit no greenhouse gasses, and do not damage the environment. It's good for you and the planet.

                      • Frequently Asked Questions

                      Can I sell power back to the grid with this Kit?

                      This isn't possible but the purpose of this kit is to gain freedom from the grid and use or store any extra power at your own will. Enjoy independence as well as greater control over how you generate energy.

                      Is any solar panel racking included?

                      We make it easy to mount and power up your solar panels. Along with our pre-drilled frames, each order includes z-brackets that can be used for attaching the panel to whatever structure suits you. If your location requires a rack system but none are available nearby, no problem – just add one of our ground racks when placing an order.

                      How long will the battery bank last?

                      Get peace of mind with the 10-year warranty on all of our batteries.. Our reliable LiFePO4 battery is designed to last you a whopping 15+ years, rated up to 6,000 lifecycles. To get an idea for how long your system will run each day - just divide its watt hours by your average load in watts – then sit back and relax knowing it's powered up all night.

                      Can I use a generator or the grid to charge my battery if necessary?

                      Get peace of mind with the 10-year warranty on all of our batteries.. Our reliable LiFePO4 battery is designed to last you a whopping 15+ years, rated up to 6,000 lifecycles. To get an idea for how long your system will run each day - just divide its watt hours by your average load in watts – then sit back and relax knowing it's powered up all night. 

                      What solar panels are included in this kit?

                      This kit comes with 200W monocrystalline panels that come straight from some of the best names in solar! Our selection shows off only top-tier brands like Longi and QCells; each one backed by a 25 year warranty for worry-free power production. Get peace of mind knowing all our products are sourced either right in Canada and the US.

                      Can I expand this system if necessary?

                      Want more solar power? This kit has your back - you can easily add extra panels and batteries, or even stack an inverter for increased output. Make it fit any area of need with expandable options!

                      Can I install this system without the help of a Solar installer?

                      Our kits make installation easy for beginners, but for optimal safety and performance we strongly suggest leaving it in the hands of an experienced electrician and solar installer. 

                      What type of appliances can this kit run?

                      You can check out the list of all appliances in the appliances tab above No need to worry about running those 240V appliances - this kit does come standard with 120V output, but there's always the option of adding an additional inverter for more power and versatility down the road.

                      How big is the kit once it's assembled? How much space will I need?

                      Each Kit is around 10m2 so you'll need a space like a garage or spare room. Installing solar panels requires a little bit of extra preparation. It's best to find an area in your home - like a garage corner or spare room - that can accommodate all the equipment while it waits to be installed. Each panel will come individually boxed and protected, so you'll have the freedom of leaving them inside or outside until they're ready for use. 

                      Where is this equipment made?

                      All our products are made in the USA and Canada. 

                      Do I need to keep the batteries inside or outside?

                      Lithium batteries thrive in environments similar to humans, as they prefer moderate temperatures. To ensure optimal performance and longevity it's important that you avoid storing them in extremely hot or cold areas such as a garage with extreme temperature fluctuations throughout the day; basements are generally an ideal place for lithium batteries since these spaces maintain steadier temps between 60F-90F degrees Fahrenheit. A battery can still be utilized when below 32° F but should not require charging until above 32° F.

                      Do I need to buy anything extra?

                      Our kits provide the essentials for your installation needs, but don't forget to stock up on those extra items from the hardware store like special tools, ground rods and wire. Also grab some UniStrut if putting in solar panels is part of your plan. You'll have all you need with our complete kit set-up.

                      How long does it take to receive my kit?

                      If you're based in the US, we strive to deliver your order within 7-15 business days. However due to increased demand for products, arrival times may vary and are currently averaging 15-20 business days. For complete peace of mind during transit , each purchase is provided with a tracking number so you can track progress every step of the way. 

                      How much is shipping?
