BLUETTI AC500 & B300S
This power giant debuted on Indiegogo on September 1, 2022, and raised $11 million as of October 30.
The AC500 is completely modular and can be paired up with B300S or B300 expansion batteries for a staggering 18,432Wh (six B300S).
The AC500 is a leap forward from its predecessor, AC300, in terms of output and input. Its inverter allows a continuous power of 5,000W and a surge of 10,000W, charging most high-powered appliances with ease. For recharging, it supports 5,000W input by a wall outlet and 3,000W by solar panels. When combining the two inputs (8,000W at max), AC500 with two B300S will power up from 0-80% within one hour – significantly reducing downtime.
BLUETTI AC300 & B300
The modular AC300 features a 3,000W inverter with 16 outlets. Connect it with four 3,072Wh B300 expansion batteries, and you’ll get a whopping capacity of 12,288Wh. Whether it’s building a home backup power system or providing enough power for glamping fun, the AC300 & B300 combo always has your back.
Outages always bring fears of spoiled food in the fridge and piles of dirty clothes. Luckily, the AC300&B300 can prevent that stress, as it’s able to run a 700W fridge for 3.7 hours and a 500W washer for 5.2 hours, thus providing some normalcy until the main power comes back on.
BLUETTI AC200P
The AC200P packs a 2,000Wh LiFePO4 battery and a 2000W AC inverter with 4,800W peak capability. Like the AC200MAX, it can achieve larger capacity with a B230 or B300 battery. With 17 versatile outlets, the AC200P is powerful enough for camping and outdoor activities. Recharging such a power giant could be time consuming, but the AC200P is exceptional as it has seven ways to top up, and it’s especially fast in the 1,100W AC+Solar dual charging mode.
Solar panels – PV120, PV200, PV350, PV400
All of BLUETTI’s solar panels are made from monocrystalline cells that offer up to 23.4% efficiency. ETFE coating and an IP65 junction box means they stand the test of time. They’re also portable and foldable, producing free, clean power at home or in the wild.
They only differ in size, weight, and power. The larger the power, the heavier the solar panels are. To create more power from the sun, choose solar panels with higher power, such as PV400. Connecting six PV400 in a series can fully recharge the AC500 & B300S solar system within two hours.
More perks from BLUETTI
There are many surprise Black Friday rewards for BLUETTI customers. Those who spend over $1,000 at BLUETTI’s official site until November 29 at 23:59 PDT are eligible for a lucky draw to win one of several great prizes: EB3A, PS70, AC50S solar generator; $50-100 coupons or BLUETTI gifts.
In addition to the lucky draw, buyers will also receive additional giveaways when they reach certain spending thresholds. For instance, a $5,000 purchase gets you one Mini fridge for free. There are three types of mystery boxes: the Basic, the Pro, and the Premium. Anyone can buy mystery boxes without quantity limits to get a portable generator at random. What can you buy with $199? A cable? Or a 700Wh solar generator, which is usually sold for over $900 in the market! The mystery box Pro makes that entirely possible. You can find more of the best deals on BLUETTI’s official website.

The US solar industry just delivered another huge quarter, installing 11.7 gigawatts (GW) of new capacity in Q3 2025. That makes it the third-largest quarter on record and pushes total solar additions this year past 30 GW – despite the Trump administration’s efforts to kneecap clean energy.
According to the new “US Solar Market Insight Q4 2025” report from Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) and Wood Mackenzie, 85% of all new power added to the grid during the first nine months of the Trump administration came from solar and storage. And here’s the twist: Most of that growth – 73% – happened in red states.
Eight of the top 10 states for new installations fall into that category, including Texas, Indiana, Florida, Arizona, Ohio, Utah, Kentucky, and Arkansas. Utah jumped into the top 10 this quarter thanks to two big utility-scale projects totaling more than 1 GW.
But the report also flags major uncertainty ahead. Federal actions, including a July memo from the Department of the Interior (DOI), have slowed or stalled the approvals pipeline for utility-scale solar and storage. Without clarity on permitting timelines, Wood Mackenzie’s long-term utility-scale forecast through 2030 remains basically unchanged from last quarter.
“This record-setting quarter for solar deployment shows that the market is continuing to turn to solar to meet rising demand,” said Abigail Ross Hopper, SEIA’s president and CEO. She added that strong growth in red states underscores how decisively the market is shifting toward clean energy. “But unless this administration reverses course, the future of clean, affordable, and reliable solar and storage will be frozen by uncertainty, and Americans will continue to see their energy bills go up.”
Two new solar module factories opened this year in Louisiana and South Carolina, adding a combined 4.7 GW of capacity. That brings the total new US module manufacturing capacity added in 2025 to 17.7 GW. With a new wafer facility coming online in Michigan in Q3, the US can now produce every major component of the solar module supply chain.
“We expect 250 GW of solar to be installed from 2025 to 2030,” said Michelle Davis, head of solar research at Wood Mackenzie and lead author of the report. “But the US solar industry has more potential. With rising power demand across the country, solar could do even more if current constraints were eased.”
SEIA also noted that, following an analysis of EIA data, it found that more than 73 GW of solar projects across the US are stuck in permitting limbo and at risk of politically motivated delays or cancellations.

The spiritual successor to the beloved Chevy Geo Tracker, production of the new-for-2026 electric Spark EUV has officially begun in Brazil with more than 200 miles of range.
That’s right, kids. To know the Chevy Tracker is to love the Chevy Tracker. The tiny, top-heavy Suzuki-based SUV combined bold colors, fun styling, (relatively) good fuel economy, and real off-road chops (especially in ZR2 trim) with an affordable price tag to make the Tracker an early favorite among the serious rock-crawling crowds.
Like, really
While it’s still too early to tell whether or not the all-new Chevy Spark EUV will come even close to that little proto-SUV, it seems we won’t have to wait much longer to find out – GM Authority reports that production of the 2026 Chevy Spark EUV has officially begun at Comexport’s Planta Automotiva do Ceará (PACE) plant, in the state of Ceará, Brazil.
GM Brazil invested the equivalent of $73 million to get the PACE factory ready to assemble GM’s modern, zero-emissions Chevy crossover for the South American and Middle Eastern markets – an investment big enough to earn a visit from Brazilian president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who was on-hand for the December 3rd kickoff event.
“It’s not a car factory,” said Comexport Vice President and PACE shareholder, Rodrigo Teixeir. “(The) goal is to develop technology there, not simply assemble a vehicle.”
Production of the new Spark EUV began last week, with production of the equally new Chevy Captiva EV set to begin as early as Q1 of 2026.
2026 Chevy Spark EUV
The Made in Brazil Chevrolet Spark EUV is heavily based on the Chinese Baojun, and is powered by that vehicle’s single 75 kW (101 hp), 180 Nm (130 lb-ft) motor driving the front wheels. Power comes from the Baojun’s 42 kWh LFP battery that, with regenerative braking, is good for up to 360 km (220 miles) on the NEDC driving cycle.
Weirdly, the new Spark is also equipped with a 10.1″ infotainment screen and 8.8″ digital instrument cluster (above) that supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto standard – technology that GM claims lead to “unsafe” driver behaviors in North America.
Let us know what you think of the little electric SUV, and whether or not you think it would be a hit in the US (it would) in the comments.
