Q
What’s a good solution for me? I’d like to set up a small solar set up in a landscape trailer that I can leave out at my shop. I want to charge my Tesla with the level 3 charger that plugs into an outlet. I’m thinking solar would charge the battery and I could plug into the battery. If I leave, it could continue to charge and I could bring it home if we loose power. I’d like to be in the $3-4k range.

Hi Dave,
Yes, the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus Octo Kit fits your budget. It pairs a 5,040Wh LiFePO4 battery with 8 x 200W rigid panels and comes with the cables, connectors and fuses it needs. The panels charge the battery while you're away, and you plug your charger into the battery. If you want to spend less, the Hex Kit (6 panels) is $3,521.89 and the Quad Kit (4 panels) is $3,195.67.
For your charger, the unit has four 120V, 20A, 2400W outlets and one NEMA L14-30R/14-50 outlet rated 120V/240V~60Hz, 30A, 7200W Max. Let us know which plug your charger uses and how many watts or amps it draws, and we'll confirm it's a good match. A full battery can deliver roughly 4,284Wh to the car (5,040Wh x 0.85).
A few things to plan for in a trailer. The power station weighs about 134.5 lbs, so it can travel home with you, but it's a two-person lift. Each panel is 58.7 x 26.8 x 1.4 in, so check you have room for all eight. The battery charges between 32°F and 113°F, so keep the trailer within that range. Our team will confirm the best panel wiring and how to mount them on the trailer. Call 877-242-2792 or email info@shopsolarkits.com for help planning the setup.

Q
How will it run my 240 volt deep well pump when I only see 120 volt outlets on the front of the unit?
Asked by Michael

· Quad Kit [4 x 200W Rigid Solar Panel]
A
Hi Michael,
The 240V output comes from a separate high-power port, not the 120V outlets. The unit has one NEMA L14-30R/14-50 port rated 120V/240V~60Hz, 30A, 7200W Max, and that's the one a 240V well pump would connect to. The four standard outlets are 120V, 20A, 2400W each.
Whether your pump will run depends on its ratings. The Explorer 5000 Plus is rated 7200W Max continuous and 14400W Surge, so check that your pump's running watts and its start-up surge fall under those figures. As a rough guide, a 1,500W pump would run about 2.9 hours on one battery (5,040Wh x 85% / 1,500W).
