How long can it power your home?

Cali-Graf calculation

Average home load	Runtime from full
0.5 kW	≈ 19.4 h
1 kW	≈ 9.7 h
2 kW	≈ 4.8 h
3 kW	≈ 3.2 h
5 kW (full continuous power)	≈ 1.9 h

Runtime = 9.7 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.
