Apollo 5K Ultra-Fast Portable Solar Power Station

The Apollo 5K is a 120VAC portable power station rated for 3,000 W of continuous output, with a 6,000 W surge rating to handle motor startup loads. Pair two units together and you get 240VAC output at 6,000 W continuous / 12,000 W surge. This page covers the single-unit configuration, SKU F-AP5K-05376-G1.

Why It Matters

Continuous (running) watts tell you what the unit can sustain hour after hour. Surge (peak) watts tell you what it can absorb for the split-second a compressor, pump, or power tool motor kicks on. The Apollo 5K's 6,000 W surge rating on a single unit gives it headroom for hard-starting loads that pull well above their rated running wattage — a common failure point on underspecced power stations.

What's Included / Components

• 1x Apollo 5K Portable Solar Power Station (SKU F-AP5K-05376-G1)

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — manufacturer data provided does not itemize included cables, solar adapters, or accessories beyond the unit itself. Confirm exact box contents with MSSD before ordering if this affects your install plan.

Solar & Charging Requirements

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — Max solar input (watts, Voc, amperage), AC charge input rating, and charge time are not included in the manufacturer data supplied for this listing. Do not assume a solar array size or panel voltage is safe to connect until these limits are confirmed. Contact MSSD before connecting any third-party solar panels to this unit.

Pro-Installer Tip

Motor-driven loads — well pumps, air compressors, refrigerator compressors, table saws — draw a starting current far above their nameplate running watts. Before connecting any of these to the Apollo 5K, check the appliance's own surge/LRA rating (often printed on the nameplate or motor tag) against the unit's 6,000 W surge ceiling per phase. Running a load whose actual inrush exceeds that ceiling can trip the internal BMS or, over repeated cycles, stress the inverter. Use a clamp meter on the appliance's circuit during startup if the nameplate surge rating isn't listed, and size your total connected load with margin below the continuous 3,000 W rating rather than at the edge of it. This is standard practice for any inverter-based system, not unique to this unit.

Key Benefits

• 3,000 W continuous output on a single unit — enough for most job-site tools, appliances, and multi-device loads.
• 6,000 W surge rating absorbs motor startup spikes without immediate shutdown.
• Stack two units for 240VAC output at 6,000 W continuous / 12,000 W surge, for loads that require split-phase power.
• Portable form factor suited to job sites, backup power, and mobile deployments.

Technical Table

Note: See "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for full specifications.

Compatibility & Fitment

• Compatible with standard 120VAC household and job-site loads on a single unit.
• Compatible with 240VAC split-phase loads only when two Apollo 5K units are linked together.
• Not compatible with 240VAC appliances when running a single unit alone — a single Apollo 5K outputs 120VAC only.
• Not rated to sustain loads above 3,000 W continuous (single unit) or 6,000 W continuous (two units linked); exceeding these will not be supported by the surge rating long-term.
• Solar panel voltage (Voc), current (Isc), and total wattage input limits are [NEEDS VERIFICATION] — do not connect solar panels until these limits are confirmed with MSSD or the manufacturer documentation.

FAQ

Can I run a 240V appliance on a single Apollo 5K unit?

No. A single Apollo 5K outputs 120VAC. 240VAC output requires linking two Apollo 5K units together, which then provides 6,000 W continuous / 12,000 W surge at 240VAC.

What is the difference between the continuous and surge wattage ratings?

Continuous wattage (3,000 W on a single unit) is what the Apollo 5K can output for sustained periods. Surge wattage (6,000 W on a single unit) is the higher, short-duration load it can handle when a motor-driven appliance first starts up.

What battery chemistry does the Apollo 5K use?

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — this detail was not included in the manufacturer data provided for this listing. Check the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" tab or ask MSSD before ordering if chemistry is a deciding factor for you.

What are the solar charging input limits?

[NEEDS VERIFICATION] — maximum solar input watts, voltage (Voc), and amperage are not specified in the data provided. Confirm these limits before connecting any solar panels to avoid overvoltage damage.

Does this listing include cables or solar adapters?

The data provided lists only the Apollo 5K unit itself (SKU F-AP5K-05376-G1). [NEEDS VERIFICATION] on included accessories — ask us before you order if you need specific cabling confirmed.

Warranty & Support

Warranty terms for the Apollo 5K are documented in the manufacturer materials, not in the data supplied for this page. Refer to the "Resources (System Manuals and Warranty)" Tab above for full warranty coverage. If you have questions before ordering, ask us — we always reply back.
