Growatt is back with a new portable power station deal

Growatt is one of the top manufacturers of residential solar and energy storage solutions around the globe. In addition to eleven years of experience developing, manufacturing, and delivering energy solutions to its customers, Growatt also wields a specific level of consistent quality that keeps its customers coming back.

An example of this quest to continuously improve for the good of its customers is Growatt’s recent decision to develop a new line of portable power stations to join to its current lineup of solar technology and PV inverters.

The star of Growatt’s new line of portable power stations is the INFINITY 1500, which launched this past September with much fanfare. To celebrate Black Friday, Growatt is offering major discounts on the INFINITY 1500 – an opportunity you won’t want to miss out on when you realize all this portable power station can deliver.

Product specifications

Whether you’re exploring the outdoors camping, hiking, working remotely, or looking for home energy security during outages or natural disasters, the Growatt INFINITY 1500 comes equipped to handle the situation.

With a battery capacity of 1,512 Wh and a 2,000-watt output from a pure sine wave inverter, this portable station can power or charge a multitude of different electronics. For instance, it can power a TV for nearly nine hours straight before having to replenish or fully-recharge a laptop (65 Wh) 26 times. Its versatility is further demonstrated by its 12 outlets, including a wireless charging pad on top, all of which can be used simultaneously.

At 36.4 lbs (16.5kg), the Growatt INFINITY 1500 is also portable and lightweight, especially when you compare it to other power stations with similar battery capacity on the market today. Here are some other pertinent specs:

  • Dimensions: 16.5 x 9.1 x 11.3 in (418.7 x 230 x 287 mm)
  • AC output: 100V~120V, 60Hz, pure sine wave
    • 1,800W, 3,600W surge peak (default)
    • 2,000W, 4,000 surge peak (max)
  • USB-A: 2 x 12W max (5V, 2.4A)
  • USB-C: 2 x 60W max (5V/9V/15V/20V, 3A)
  • Quick charge 3.0: 2 x 18W max (5V/9V/12V, 2.4A)
  • Car cigarette lighter: 13.6V, 10A (regulated)
  • Lifecycle: Over 800 cycles

If and when your Growatt INFINITY 1500 does run out of power, getting it back to 100% is a snap, and your recharge options are versatile. For instance, fast AC charging capabilities allow the portable power station to completely recharge in two hours (1,500W input). If you don’t need more energy right away, you can replenish your INFINITY 1500 using your vehicle in about 12 hours (12V, 12A).

Say you’re out in the elements, however. Why not harness the free, sustainable energy of the sun? Growatt is a leader in the solar industry after all. By utilizing the INFINITY 1500’s 800W solar input and portable Growatt panels, the power station can fully recharge in just 2.5 hours.

Growatt currently offers solar panels with a wider solar voltage range, again adding to its versatility in sustainable power solutions. The 99% maximum power point tracking (MPPT) on Growatt’s solar panels also ensure their efficiency while significantly reducing energy lost – perfect for any time spent outdoors away from an AC outlet.

In addition to offering dependability and sustainability off the grid, the Growatt INFINITY 1500 can also deliver home energy security as an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Growatt has adapted its extensive background in residential energy storage solutions into the INFINITY 1500, which delivers a switchover time under 20 milliseconds – suitable for network energy supply and even medical equipment.

Whether it’s an emergency backup scenario or utilizing stored energy during peak demand hours on your local grid, the INFINITY 1500 is built to support you and can be easily managed by the myGro app, whether it’s through Wi-Fi or bluetooth.

As you can see, the Growatt INFINITY 1500 has a lot to offer its owners, and there’s much more to discover when you purchase one of your own. So how much? Lucky for you, Growatt is offering special Black Friday pricing this month that you’re not going to want to miss. Check it out.

One of South Dakota’s largest wind farms just got the green light

One of South Dakota's largest wind farms just got the green light

South Dakota’s Public Utilities Commission (PUC) has approved a 260-megawatt (MW) wind farm that will become one of the largest in the wind-friendly state.

Invenergy is developing the 68-turbine South Deuel Wind Energy Center on 29,000 acres in Deuel County in the state’s northeast. When it comes online in Q4 2026, it will be capable of powering more than 103,000 US households. Construction is expected to begin late this summer.

In 2021, Invenergy completed the 109-turbine Deuel Harvest Wind Farm (pictured), six miles north of South Deuel, which it sold to Atlanta-based Southern Power.

Invenergy says the new South Dakota wind farm will pump $78 million into landowner payments over the next 30 years, while local governments will see $38 million in property tax revenue. On the jobs front, the project is expected to create 243 construction jobs and support eight long-term operational roles.

South Dakota is one of the most wind-friendly states in the US. In 2023, wind provided 55% of South Dakota’s total electricity generation, a larger share than any other state except Iowa, according to the US Energy Information Administration (EIA). Wind exceeded hydropower’s contribution to South Dakota’s in-state electricity generation for the first time in 2021, and it generated nearly three times as much electricity as hydropower in the state in 2023. In the same year, renewables generated 77% of South Dakota’s total in-state electricity net generation (including small-scale solar).

Tesla shareholders were hoping today’s claims of 10x growth in the coming years would help goose TSLA stock prices, but they slid instead as BMW took the top two spots in the J.D. Power EV owner satisfaction survey and GM launched an all-new, affordable Chevy Spark EUV.

Kia EV4 GT looks like the affordable electric sports car we’ve been waiting for [Video]

Kia EV4 GT looks like the affordable electric sports car we've been waiting for [Video]

Less than a week after Kia unveiled the EV4, we are already getting our first look at the sporty GT model. When it arrives, the GT variant is expected to be one of the most affordable electric sports cars and what could be Kia’s most powerful vehicle yet. But can it keep up with the Tesla Model 3 Performance?

The EV4 is Kia’s first electric sedan and hatchback. During its EV Day last week (see our recap), Kia showcased four EV4 models, two sedan and two hatchback trims.

Each had a standard and GT-Line model. Now, we are getting our first look at the high-performance GT version. Remember when the EV6 GT arrived in 2022 as “the most powerful Kia production vehicle ever?”

With 576 horsepower, the sporty EV6 GT can sprint from 0 to 60 mph in just 3.4 seconds. That’s faster than your average Ferrari or Lamborghini, and it’s about half the cost starting at just over $60,000.

Well, the EV4 GT will likely be an even bigger hit with an expected lower price tag and what could be even more power.

After Kia’s electric sports car was spotted in public for the first time, we are learning a few upgrades you can expect to see. The video, courtesy of HealerTV, shows a camouflaged model testing in Korea. However, the orange light on the side of the bumper indicates it is actually an export model.

First look at the Kia EV4 GT electric sports car

At a quick glance, it looks just like the EV4 GT-Line. Looking closer, you can see Kia upgraded the EV4 with sporty wheels (what appears to be 20″), giving it a similar look to the K8.

The interior will feature Kia’s new ccNC (connected car Navigation Cockpit), which includes dual 12.3″ driver display and infotainment screens with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

You can expect to see the most significant differences in the interior and in performance. Like Kia’s other GT models, the EV4 is expected to feature a dual-motor AWD powertrain, but exact specs will be revealed closer to its official launch.

The upgraded EV6 GT, launched in Korea in November, now packs 641 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque (when Launch Control is active), thanks to improved front and rear electric motors.

It also gets redesigned front and rear bumpers, suede-trimmed sport bucket seats, and a heat pump (standard on all AWD trims).

Like Hyundai’s IONIQ 5 N, the new EV6 GT includes a Virtual Gear Shift (VGS) that simulates the sounds and feel of a sports car engine. We got a look at it in action in December after HealerTV got their hands on one to try it out.

We’ll have to wait for the official word on prices, but with the EV4 slotted below the EV6 in Kia’s lineup, the GT model will likely cost around $50,000 to $55,000. That’s much less than your average sports car. The standard EV4 is expected to hit the market later this year, starting at around $35,000 to $40,000.

In comparison, the Tesla Model 3 Performance AWD starts at $54,990 with 510 horsepower, good for a 0 to 60 mph sprint in 2.9 seconds.
