What Sets The Explorer 5000 Plus Apart
Surge That Starts Motors
14,400 W of surge headroom is what actually starts a well pump or a compressor, not the continuous figure
Online UPS At 0 ms
Equipment rides straight through a grid drop instead of rebooting — the difference between inconvenience and lost work
Expands To 60 kWh
Buy the capacity you need now and stack battery packs later without replacing the station
Up To 4,000 W Of Solar
Enough input to meaningfully refill during a multi-day outage rather than trickling

Frequently Asked Questions
It can run substantial circuits, but 'whole house' depends entirely on what is on those circuits and for how long. Total the loads you actually need and work from there — our sizing guide shows the arithmetic including the inverter derate.
Not to use it as a portable. Yes, if you want it feeding household circuits through a transfer switch — that is a panel connection and needs a licensed electrician and usually a permit.
The station sits between the wall and your equipment and carries the load continuously, so when the grid drops there is no switchover gap at all. A computer, a modem or medical equipment keeps running rather than restarting.
Up to 60 kWh with battery packs. That is the main argument for buying at this tier rather than a fixed-capacity unit — you can start smaller and grow without replacing the station.
With up to 4,000 W of solar input it refills meaningfully rather than trickling, but real figures depend on panel count, orientation and the light you actually get — which in winter is a fraction of a panel's rating. Tell us your setup and we will work it through.
Lithium battery products travel ground only, never air, and some remote, island and non-continental destinations carry restrictions. Check with us before ordering if your address is unusual.
