Product Description

The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus + Smart Transfer Switch bundle pairs a 5040Wh, 7200W portable power station with the hardwired transfer switch that connects it to your home's essential circuits. When the grid drops out, the Smart Transfer Switch moves your selected circuits to the Explorer 5000 Plus automatically — keeping refrigerators, lights, routers, and essential rooms running for days during hurricanes, thunderstorms, and blackouts.

Who It's For

This bundle is for homeowners who want true whole-home essential-circuit backup without a permanently installed generator. If you live where outages last hours or days, the Explorer 5000 Plus supplies the power, the Smart Transfer Switch handles the handoff, and the system grows from 5kWh all the way to 60kWh as your needs expand. Note that the transfer switch is hardwired to your electrical panel, so installation requires a licensed electrician.

Key Features

  • 5040Wh base capacity – expandable from 5kWh up to 60kWh with additional battery packs (sold separately)
  • 7200W rated output – up to 14400W with expansion, with 120V/240V dual voltage for large household loads
  • 0ms power transition – the station is rated for uninterrupted transition, so sensitive electronics keep running
  • Automatic transfer in as little as 20ms – the Smart Transfer Switch shifts essential circuits from grid to backup power on its own
  • 12 load branches – back up multiple essential home circuits from one NEMA Type 1 wall-mounted switch
  • 4000W solar input – fully recharged in as little as 1.7 hours, with 5 ways to charge
  • LiFePO4 battery – long-life, stable chemistry built for years of service
  • Wi-Fi and Bluetooth – built into the Smart Transfer Switch for monitoring and control connectivity

Why Jackery

Founded in 2012, Jackery is one of the most established names in portable power, and this bundle is its answer to whole-home backup: a high-output LiFePO4 station engineered to work with its own transfer switch, rather than two products improvised together. Buying the pair as a bundle means the sizing, compatibility, and switchover behavior are already matched.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an electrician to install the transfer switch?

Yes. The Smart Transfer Switch is hardwired to your home's electrical panel and must be installed by a licensed electrician in accordance with local codes. The power station itself needs no installation.

What happens when the power goes out?

The Smart Transfer Switch detects the outage and automatically shifts your connected essential circuits from the grid to the Explorer 5000 Plus in as little as 20 milliseconds, so backup power starts without you touching anything.

How many circuits can it back up?

The transfer switch supports 12 load branches, letting you dedicate backup power to essentials such as the refrigerator, lighting, and networking circuits your electrician assigns.

Can it run 240V appliances?

The Explorer 5000 Plus provides 120V/240V dual-voltage output and the transfer switch uses a split-phase feed-in, so 240V circuits are supported within the system's ratings. Your electrician can confirm which of your appliances fit.

Can I add more capacity later?

Yes. The Explorer 5000 Plus expands from 5kWh up to 60kWh with additional battery packs, and output grows to 14400W with expansion — you can scale the system after installation.

How do I recharge the station?

It offers 5 ways to charge, including up to 4000W of solar input, and can be fully recharged in as little as 1.7 hours. Solar panels are sold separately.

Does this bundle qualify for a federal tax credit?

No. The federal residential clean energy credits ended for purchases and installations after December 31, 2025, so orders placed in 2026 do not qualify. We would rather tell you that plainly than have you find out at tax time.

How does it ship?

By freight carrier due to the weight. Inspect the packaging at delivery and note any damage on the receipt before signing — then call us and we will handle any claim with the manufacturer for you.
