In this video, I walk you through my experience installing an off-grid/backup power system using the BLUETTI EP800 inverter and B500 batteries. 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. Enjoy the ride, and remember, I'm not an expert, just a fellow enthusiast exploring off-grid living!
