Home Integration Kits and Transfer Switches
An outage is a bad time to learn that a power station and a house panel do not simply plug into each other. Getting battery power into household circuits takes the right hookup hardware, and the right piece depends on what you own and what you want to keep running. This page walks through the main kinds of kit so you can match them to your setup before you buy.
Home integration kits for single stations
An integration kit is the link between a portable-style power station and your home circuits. The retailer describes these as a way to keep vital home loads powered when the grid goes down. They are made for specific models, so the first check is always the name on the box. The AC300 kit comes in a 120V version and a 120V and 240V version. The AC500 kit is also listed for 120V and 240V and covers AC300, EP500 and EP500Pro. If your home has 240V loads you want to keep on, that choice matters.
The Apex 300 has its own kit, listed as a parallel version, for that model only. It suits owners who want the hookup and the battery matched from the start.
Battery and kit bundles
If you do not own a station yet, a bundle saves you matching parts. These pair a base unit, one or more B300-series batteries and a home integration kit in one order. The AC300 bundles use the 120V kit, and the AC500 bundle adds two B300K batteries. The Apex 300 package lists 3,840W and 5,529.6Wh with LiFePO₄ chemistry. The listings warn that bundles ship in separate packages, so expect several tracking numbers and arrivals on different days.
The Apex 300 option below includes its Home Backup Kit and a single Apex 300.
Fusion boxes for pairing two stations
A fusion box is for doubling up. The retailer says it connects two BLUETTI power stations to double the rated power, voltage and capacity, and it adds "not for current". There are versions named for the EP500, the AC300 and the AC500, so pick the one that matches your units. This suits a home that needs more than one station can give. Split-phase bundles for two EP500 units already include one. Two AC300 and two B300 bundles list the P030A, which is the guide the fusion box page points to.
Smart panels and transfer hardware
Bigger systems use a panel or switch as the front door to the house. The AT1 is a smart distribution panel, sold alone or bundled with one to four EnergyPro 6K units. The Epanel is described as an all-in-one hub for AC and DC power, with outlets you can control and monitor over Bluetooth or Wi-Fi. A wiring pack is sold separately for the distribution panel. There is also a 100A manual transfer switch, listed for maintenance.
EP800 and EP900 accessories
The EP900 and EP800 systems have their own parts. The home integration kit connects the system to the main panel. An energy meter helps two parallel-connected units talk to the EMS. For harsh conditions, a Power Shelter enclosure is made to house the system, in C10 and C20 versions.
How to choose
- Start with your station's model name. Kits are listed as compatible with specific units.
- Check voltage. The 120V kits suit 120V loads, while the 120V and 240V versions cover both.
- Decide whether you need one station or two. Pairing means a fusion box.
- Think about the whole house versus a few vital circuits. Smart panels suit larger setups.
- For bundles, allow for split shipments and read the buying tips.
- Follow the manual, and have the wiring done to your local rules.
Questions people ask
Can I just plug my power station into a wall outlet?
That is not what these kits are for. Use the hardware made for your model and follow its guide.
Is a fusion box the same as an integration kit?
No. A fusion box joins two stations together. An integration kit links a station to your home circuits.
Will one kit fit every BLUETTI station?
No. Each listing names its compatible models, so check yours first.
Why did my bundle arrive in pieces?
The retailer says bundle orders ship in separate packages, with multiple tracking numbers that may not arrive together.
