BLUETTI is back and ready to launch the EP600
If you’re familiar at all with sustainable energy solutions, you’ve probably heard of BLUETTI POWER Inc. and its ever-growing lineup of portable power products. The company currently wields over 10 years of industry experience, pursuing a mission to deliver exceptional eco-friendly energy solutions to its customers in over 70 countries around the world.
BLUETTI’s effort to stay true to its green mission has helped solidify its reign as one of the top clean energy solution providers, and its ability to consistently innovate has helped set the brand apart. For instance, BLUETTI introduced a slew of new products at the IFA consumer electronics show in Berlin this past fall, including the EP600 Solar Generator – by far its most powerful product to date.
Ahead of its official launch of pre-orders later this week, we’d like to share some of the impressive capabilities of the EP600, which will be supported by BLUETTI’s newly announced B500 expansion batteries. Have a look!
BLUETTI EP600 can be set up with ease and store 79.3 kWh
For how powerful the EP600 Solar Generator truly is, its extremely modular, easy to setup, and will stay protected and operational through the elements for the long haul – especially when compared to similar products from competitors.
When your EP600 system is set up, your solar panels can gather energy from the sun in the morning to power your home, while any excess energy is stored in BLUETTI’s B500 battery packs. When you’ve gathered a substantial energy reserve, you can use that stored energy during peak demand hours later in the day to avoid higher energy bills. You can also send that energy back to the grid and earn commissions from utility companies, depending where you live.
What sets the EP600 apart at its core is its hybrid inverter system, allowing owners to plug their solar panels directly into the generator itself without the need for any inverters or MPPT controllers. This technology is further backed by a UPS system that can seamlessly transition to its stored powered during an outage and continuously keep all your home’s devices running normally.
Equipped with a 6,000W bi-directional inverter for both AC input and output, BLUETTI’s new EP600 can deliver 230/400V AC power, capable of running virtually any household appliance. The Solar generator remains modular with the help of BLUETTI’s B500 expansion batteries, which store lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) cells and 4,960 Wh of energy each.
Each EP600 solar generator can connect with up to 16 B500 batteries, for a maximum capacity of 79.3 kWh – transforming into the ultimate energy storage system to power your entire home whenever needed.
The B500 batteries have a 10-year lifespan and are each equipped with self-heating technology to precondition themselves during low ambient temperatures in order to function properly, even when it’s cold out.
Speaking of which, you can set up our BLUETTI EP600/B500 system anywhere around your home since it doesn’t need to be mounted to a wall and can be stacked right on the ground. By generating less than 50 decibels of noise while operating, this energy storage system can dwell inside your home or out, whatever works best for you. Simply stack, connect all necessary cables, and you’re good to go.
Pre-orders, pricing, and availability
BLUETTI will officially release the EP600 solar generator and B500 expansion battery on November 10 at 4:00 p.m. CET (10:00 a.m. EST). To begin, pre-orders will be offered in Germany, Italy, France, Spain, Holland, Belgium, Luxembourg, Poland, and Austria.

![This electric excavator has battery swap tech that lets it recharge in minutes [update]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/04/electric-excavator.jpg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
The electric construction equipment experts at XCMG just released a new, 25 ton electric crawler excavator ahead of bauma 2025 – and they have their eye on the global urban construction, mine operations, and logistical material handling markets.
UPDATE: telematics announcement.
Powered by a high-capacity 400 kWh lithium iron phosphate battery capable of delivering up to 8 hours of continuous operation, the XE215EV electric excavator promises uninterrupted operation at a lower cost of ownership and with even less downtime than its diesel counterparts.
XCMG is delivering on part of that reduced downtime promise with the lower maintenance and easier repair needs of electric equipment, and delivering on the rest of it with lickety-quick DC fast charging that can recharge the machine’s massive battery in 1.5-2 hours … but that’s not the slick bit. The XCMG XE125EV can be powered up without leaving the job site thanks to its BYD battery swap technology.
We first covered XCMG and its battery swap technology back in January, and covered similar battery-swap tech being developed by MOOG Construction offshoot ZQUIP, as well – but while XCMG’s battery tech has been in production for several years, it’s still not widely known about in the West (even within the industry).
XCMG showed off its latest electric equipment at the December 2024 bauma China, including an updated version of its of its 85-ton autonomous electric mining truck that features a fully cab-less design – meaning there isn’t even a place for an operator to sit, let alone operate. And that’s too bad, because what operator wouldn’t want to experience an electric truck putting down 1070 hp more than 16,000 lb-ft of torque!?
Easy in, easy out
The best part? All of the company’s heavy equipment assets – from excavators to terminal tractors to dump trucks and wheel loaders – all use the same 400 kWh BYD battery packs, Milwaukee tool style. That means an equipment fleet can utilize x number of vehicles with a fraction of the total battery capacity and material needs of other asset brands. That’s not just a smart use of limited materials, it’s a smarter use of energy.
You can check out all the XE215EV’s specs at this tear sheet, and get an in-person look at the Chinese company’s latest electric excavator this week in Munich, Germany.
Telematics announcement at bauma
Earlier today, XCMG launched its next-generation Xrea Global Telematics Platform, integrating IoT, big data, cloud computing, and AI to enable what it’s caling, “seamless cross-border fleet management.”
The new telematics platform supports a dozen languages via PC and mobile interfaces, and offers real-time diagnostics, predictive maintenance, and data-driven optimization of both the vehicle and the vehicle’s batteries, empowering equipment managers and fleet operators to track fleets across town, or across time zones.
“XCMG remains committed to advancing engineering technology to empower a sustainable future. Our mission is to deliver efficient, intelligent, and eco-friendly lifecycle solutions for global clients,” said Mr. Yang Dongsheng, Chairman of XCMG Group and XCMG Machinery. “Today, 19% of our product portfolio comprises green innovations under our ‘Green Mountain’ new energy line, with full electrification across all series underway.”

![A vast 600 MW Texas solar farm just hit a major milestone [update]](https://i0.wp.com/electrek.co/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/2025/01/Hornet-Solar-Texas-2.jpg?resize=1200,628&quality=82&strip=all&ssl=1)
Renewable developer Vesper Energy has cut the ribbon on Hornet Solar in Swisher County, Texas, one of the largest single-phase solar farms in the US.
As Electrek reported in January, the 600-megawatt (MW) Hornet Solar includes over 1.36 million modules covering more than 6 square miles. The project will contribute more than $100 million in new tax revenue to Swisher County and deliver 600 MWac of energy–enough to power 160,000 homes annually.
January 30, 2025: “The seamless coordination between our team and our EPC partner, Blattner, has enabled us to remain ahead of schedule and on budget while ensuring quality throughout the process,” said Juan Suarez, co-CEO of Irving-based Vesper Energy.
Hornet Solar uses bifacial solar panels mounted on a single-axis tracking system to maximize efficiency. The solar farm is connected to Oncor Electric’s transmission system within ERCOT and is contracted to provide power to four off-take partners through individual Virtual Power Purchase Agreements (VPPAs).
The Hornet Solar project in the Texas Panhandle is on track to be fully online by spring 2025.
Texas is a utility-scale solar leader in the US, with a ranking of No. 2 and 37,713 MW currently installed. It’s projected to install 51,144 MW over the next five years and move into the No. 1 spot, according to the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA). The total solar investment in the state is $45.2 billion.
On January 21, the SEIA, Conservative Texans for Energy Innovation (CTEI), Advanced Power Alliance (APA), and the Texas Solar + Storage Association (TSSA) reported that existing and expected utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects will contribute over $20 billion in total tax revenue – and pay Texas landowners $29.5 billion – over the projects’ lifetimes.
