Up to 20 kW of backup output — enough to run ducted air conditioning through a blackout.
Capacity is how long a battery lasts. Output is what it can run at once. Alpha-ESS delivers up to 20 kW of backup power, which is what separates a battery that keeps the fridge and lights on from one that runs the whole house, air conditioning included.
