WHO IT IS FOR

The tier where you stop counting appliances

Smaller stations are bought by listing what you want to plug in. At 5,040 Wh with 7,200 W of output, the conversation changes: you start talking about circuits and days rather than appliances and hours.

That also changes what matters in the purchase. Expandability and transfer-switch compatibility are worth more here than another few hundred watts of output, because this is the tier people grow into rather than replace.

If you are not sure this is your tier, our sizing guide shows the arithmetic, and portable versus whole-home covers when an electrician enters the picture.

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

Before You Order

Shipping and delivery

This unit contains a large lithium iron phosphate battery. Lithium shipments travel ground only, never air, and can carry service or destination restrictions. Confirm with us before ordering to a remote, island or non-continental address.

At this capacity the unit may move as freight rather than parcel. We confirm the method and cost before the order goes in — see our freight guide.

Installation requirements

Used as a portable, none — loads plug into the station, not into your house wiring. Connecting it to household circuits through a transfer switch is a different job that requires a licensed electrician and, in most places, a permit and an inspection.

Get an electrician's estimate before you order hardwired components. Portable versus whole-home backup explains where that line falls.

Warranty and returns

Warranty per Jackery's published terms. We are an authorised dealer, so warranty claims go through the manufacturer's normal process. Returns are handled under our return and refund policy.

Frequently Asked Questions

Output, expansion and where an electrician becomes necessary

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.
