BLUETTI AC500 & B500S 5,000W portable generator goes from Indiegogo to retail

Having topped the US$12 million mark on Indiegogo, the BLUETTI AC500 & B300S Power Station System can be described as a success at the very least. Its popularity on the crowdfunding website has now empowered the OEM to start selling them through more conventional means at this point.

The system's InDemand page is still somewhat active, albeit only for the limited quantities of some solar panels and the older AC300 & B300 option it still has left over from an Xmas sale at the time of writing.

Therefore, should an Indiegogo user still want an AC500 with at least 1 B300S (as the maximum of 6 is required for that up to 18.432kWh spec), they will have to head over to Amazon or BLUETTI's own store.

This base-model combo now has an MRSP of US$5,099, as opposed to US$4,499 during its last days on Indiegogo. However, it has been reduced to US$4,799 for a limited time. The offer that requires ensuring that a box for a coupon has been checked on Amazon, whereas BLUETTI's own store applies the discount automatically.
