The HomePower 3600 Plus with a SolarSaga 500X: the workhorse station and a 500W bifacial panel that folds flat against the wall between outages. Grid down, driveway up.
Why it works in a serious garage
The full 3600 Plus. 3,584Wh, 3,600W/7,200W, TT-30 outlet, 10 ms UPS, UL-listed — see the station's own listing for the complete table.
500W bifacial panel. Rated 500W, 545W with rear-side gain, IP68, 23 lb, folds to about 39 x 21 in.
Half the ceiling used. The station takes 1,000W of solar — add a second 500X later and recharge twice as fast.
