Capacity & power

CEC Energy Storage System List

How long can it power your home?

Cali-Graf calculation
Average home loadRuntime from full
0.5 kW≈ 110.6 h
1 kW≈ 55.3 h
2 kW≈ 27.6 h
3 kW≈ 18.4 h
60 kW (full continuous power)≈ 0.9 h
Runtime = 55.3 kWh usable (datasheet) ÷ load. A typical home averages 1–2 kW; air conditioning and EV charging use much more. Inverter and wiring losses shorten it.
