Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus: The 5 kWh Silent Whole-Home Backup That’s Replacing Gas Generators in 2026
The First Portable Power Station That Actually Powers a Whole House (No Noise, No Fumes, No Refueling)
When the grid goes down in 2025, you have two choices:
- Fire up the loud, smelly 20 kW gas generator and pray you bought enough fuel.
- Roll the Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus into the garage, flip one switch, and keep the entire house running like nothing happened.
Thousands of homeowners from California to Texas, Florida to Ontario are choosing #2, and never buying another gallon of gas again.
Why the Explorer 5000 Plus Is the Ultimate Home Backup in 2025

- 7200 W continuous / 14,400 W surge – runs everything at once (central A/C, well pump, fridge, freezer, lights, Wi-Fi, EV charger)
- Expandable from 5 kWh → up to 60 kWh with add-on packs (perfect for multi-day outages)
- Wheels + pull handle – move it like airport luggage (one person, no lifting)
- Ultra-quiet <30 dB (quieter than a library)
- 100% charge in 1.7 hrs from wall or 6 × 200 W solar panels in ~5 sunny hours
- App control (iOS/Android) – monitor and switch outlets from your phone
