Private Micro-Grid!
Harvest Enough Off-Grid Solar Power To Get Through Any Power Outage or Energy Crisis
Electricity prices have been rising steadily for more than 30 years. Now they're accelerating at a pace never before seen in American history.
In June alone for example, electricity prices have jumped by 10% in most states. Some states like Hawaii, Oklahoma and Illinois have literally exploded with rate jumps over 30%! Again this is one month. (from the beginning of June 2022 to the end of June.)
In some European countries like Germany for example, have seen ten fold increases in electricity costs in the last few months alone.
With this new micro grid system.. you'll always have power!
There are a handful of trends that are bringing about...
A Power Grid "Perfect Storm"
Add other grid vulnerabilities (like an EMP attack) and its easy to see the need for a system that can power your most important appliances and devices.
After three years of behind the scenes research and development... we are now happy to make a true "whole house" micro-grid solution. Which we think is the perfect solution for this unfortunate perfect storm on our power grid.
Introducing The All New "Power Station Flex"
Shown here with the optional Flex Pod for extra storage
The maximum power output of the Power Station Flex is 7200 watts @ 240V and 3600 watts @ 120V.
The Power Station Flex is designed to provide you with a reliable source of backup solar power so you can enjoy peace of mind even if electricity becomes prohibitively expensive or unavailable. What's more, the The Power Station Flex 4000 is...
Powerful and Efficient
You get 180 square feet of efficient mono-crystal solar panels capable of generating 2,000 watts of electricity. You also get 15,360 watt hours of battery capacity (19,200 watt hours rated and 80% depth of discharge). This system is capable of harvesting as much as 3 million watt hours of energy per year.
The Power Station Flex 4000 will provide enough backup energy to slash your electric bill and maybe get off the grid completely.

One Switch Gets You Off the Grid
The Power Station Flex 4000 is designed to be ultra-simple to use. Once installed, a single switch takes you off the grid and powers all your tier-1 emergency electrical needs.
More importantly, if the grid goes down at any time, the Power Station Flex 4000 will take over automatically and will seamlessly begin providing power to your predetermined circuits -- so you're never without power!
Power Only What You Want
The Power Station Flex 4000 can be directed to power any device (or groups of devices) in your home. At the time of installation you decide which devices and circuits in your home will be connected to the Power Station 4000 system. These become your tier 1 emergency electrical loads. These circuits can then be powered either by the utility grid or by the Power Station 4000 at your discretion.
Remote Digital Display Provides "Vital Stats" at a Glance
The Power Station Flex 4000 comes with a sophisticated remote digital display that can be placed anywhere within 100 feet of the unit. The remote digital display tells you current battery charge levels; how much energy you've harvested from the sun each day (a full year of history is stored); and more
Flex Power Transfer KIt
True Sine-wave Technology Produces Clean Power
The Power Station Flex's inverter produces clean sine-wave power, which means the DC (Direct Current) electricity produced by the solar panels is converted into "clean" AC (Alternating Current) electricity.
Because you're getting clean power, your electronics won't experience any kind of static interference that can happen with inferior inverters.
Free Delivery & Installation with Purchase
When you order your Power Station Flex 4000, you'll also get free delivery and installation anywhere in the continental U.S. We'll even send our experienced solar technicians to set up the system for you. (Please note that site preparation work is not included. If you live outside the continental United States, please call us for a customized quote.)
Power Station Flex Includes Six 200 Watt Panels
3 Warranties Protect Your Investment
We personally warrant the Power Station Flex 4000 will be free from defects in materials and workmanship for a period of 90 days from the completion of installation. The inverter and charger are covered by the manufacturer's limited warranty program for a period of 5 years; the solar panels are covered for 20 years.
Customized Financing Available
We have customized financing solutions available for qualified individuals so you can enjoy all the benefits of solar energy today -- and amortize your costs over time. (Not to mention, experts say financial records would be wiped out and unrecoverable following an EMP attack.)
Federal Tax Credits on Solar
The federal government currently offers a 30% rebate on solar equipment you install on your new or existing primary residence. There is currently no dollar limit on the rebate. (Remember, these rebates are set to expire on December 31, 2016 -- so take advantage of them while you can!)
Some states and utility companies also offer rebates. Check with your state and utility company to see what rebates are currently available.
Frequently Asked Questions
The maximum recommended distance is 100 ft.
3 years manufacturer’s warranty for the charge controller, inverter, transfer and switching gear.
25 years for solar panels.
Yes, in some cases. Rebate availability varies by state and region. Check the DSIRE website to determine what incentives are available in your area.
This depends on your installation site. Site preparation may include:
- Trimming, or removing trees, to eliminate shading from the solar array installation site.
- Re-routing some of your house’s branch circuit wiring.
- Installation of a small electrical distribution sub-panel.
- Roof inspection and/or repair for rooftop solar array installation.
- Pouring concrete footings for ground mount solar arrays.
- Installation of a second electrical “service entrance” for the solar array power cables
Some metal roofs can easily accommodate a solar array installation and some cannot accommodate a solar array at all. You can call Powerful Living to discuss installing an array on your metal roof.
Yes, as long as you manage your energy usage so that you do not allow the batteries to completely run down before recharging them.
The Power Station 4000 Flex comes with a remote LCD panel that indicates the amount of solar energy harvested daily, the state of charge of the battery bank, the DC power output of the solar charger, and the AC power output of the inverter. This indicator panel also has an SD card that can store up to one year of system operational data
Yes; however, Powerful Living or another solar professional should be involved in the planning and installation. In a solar electric system all components must be carefully chosen for system compatibility and proper operation.
Yes; however, Powerful Living or another solar professional should be involved in the planning and installation. In a solar electric system all components must be carefully chosen for system compatibility and proper operation.
If you need more power it is better to upgrade the system to multiple inverters, more batteries, and more solar panels than to install multiple systems..
Powerful Living does not recommend, or support, customer installation, unless the customer is a certified solar installer, electrician, electrical contractor, or electrical engineer. Due to the wide variety of installation site complications Powerful Living does not provide system installation instructions. System and component user operation manuals are provided by Powerful Living.
Yes, depending on the size of the pump and run time needed per day. Some water pumps may require a second parallel inverter for proper pump motor start-up. A second inverter is available at additional cost. Pump or compressor motor start-up cannot be guaranteed on single inverter systems.
Yes, additional panels and inverters can be added. Each system using additional components will be quoted as custom designed systems.
Yes, however, addition of a properly sized wind generator would require a well-engineered DC output regulation circuit, a dump-load circuit, and an expanded DC combiner bus, for installation. Powerful Living does not provide this service.
That all depends on how you would use the system. Only a thorough analysis of your electrical loads and usage can provide a reasonable answer to this question. You can arrive at a rough approximation by assuming a daily solar energy harvest capacity of 8,500 watt hours and comparing it to the daily usage on your electric bill.
The Power Station 4000 Flex is an off-grid back-up power solution. Selling power back to the utility company requires a grid-tie system which generally will not supply back-up power. Hybrid, or battery-based grid-tie, systems which can supply back-up power are much more complex and expensive than off-grid back-up systems such as the Power Station 4000 Flex.
Yes, as long as your car’s charger operates on either 120 VAC or 240 VAC and does not require a current draw greater the amperage rating of the Power Station 4000 Flex’s AC output circuits.
The unit utilizes a NEMA L14-30R 30 Amp 125/250V Twist Lock Recptacle
Yes. The unit can power a 5000 BTU air conditioner for 2-3 hours if no solar panels are connected. If the solar panels are hooked up and your house/room is insulated... you may be able to air conditioner indefinitely. Please know there are many variables at work here.
The maximum amperage of the generator is 15 amp.
No. The new solar panels for this unit are larger and will require a more permanent installation.
The maximum power output for the 110-120 volts of the powerhouse is 3600 watts.
The maximum for the 220 volts is 7200 watts.
The Flex unit can be charged or cycled up to 4000 times depending on initial battery conditioning as well as other contingent circumstances.
The Flex unit can be charged by plugging it in to a standarnd 110 volt wall outlet. This will take roughly 20 hours.
Yes, it can charge EVs. However, please see if your charger cable is compatible with the Flex sockets.
Absolutely. The Flex unit has protective circuitry features that allows for this.
2000 watts
Yes! It has a number of "smart key" monitoring features.
