From Jobsite to Home Backup: Why Contractors Are Choosing the Apex 300

If you’re a skilled contractor, tradesman, electrician, or landscaper, you’re used to thinking about power for your tools—chainsaw, welders, grinders, you name it. But have you ever noticed that the power demands for your tools aren’t that different from what a home needs in an emergency backup?

Both need strong, stable power and easy portability. So, if a power system can perform flawlessly on the jobsite, could it also easily handle home power outages? This quick guide walks you through common challenges shared by both scenarios—and uses the latest Apex 300 portable power station as a practical example.

Power for Jobsite & Home Backup: What to Know

💪Is the output powerful enough?

Your power source has to handle tough tools like chainsaw and welders on the jobsite, but also keep your fridge, lights, and Wi-Fi running at home. The Apex 300 delivers up to 3,840W of clean, stable power—and when connected to the grid, it can output up to 12kW via bypass charging (even enough to charge an EV).

If you need DC power on site for tool battery packs, phones, tablets, Starlink, handheld devices, or two-way radios, the optional Hub D1 mounts easily to the Apex 300 or your truck. It delivers 700W of DC output across nine ports—including a safe, high-power 50A Anderson port. That way, your essential gear stays powered and the job keeps moving—even without a fixed power source nearby.

🔌 Does it Provide 240V Output?

Ever shown up to a jobsite only to find out one of the tools needs 240V—but all you brought was a 120V generator? It’s a frustrating situation many contractors have faced. The Apex 300 makes it easy by supporting both 120V and 240V output without the need for two separate units or special adapters. Just flip the built-in voltage selector switch, and it's ready for everything from heavy-duty industrial gears to everyday home essentials.

🔋 Can you Expand the Battery?

Backup power at home means more than just quick bursts——it’s about dependable power that lasts when you need it most. By pairing the Apex 300 with the B300K expansion battery, the power can last for hours or even days. With a scalable output over 11kW and up to 58kWh capacity, it’s designed to keep a household running smoothly through outages lasting an entire week.

☀️Does it Support Solar or Generator Charging?

Whether you're working outdoors or facing a power outage, the Apex 300 solar generator makes full use of solar energy. It supports any solar panels and comes equipped with dual MPPT controllers, allowing it to charge up to 80% in just 40 minutes. Pair it with the Solar X 4K Charge Controller, and the system can handle up to 6,400W of solar input—offering a payback period as short as two years, rarely seen in most solar generators.

But what if the sun isn’t shining? That’s where generators come in. The Apex 300 features built-in 50A charging ports that support 120/240V generator input using a single 30A or 50A cable. With a 3,840W input, it can fully recharge in just 65 minutes. When connected in parallel, it supports up to 11,520W of generator charging—providing even more flexibility for larger power needs in most home battery backup scenarios.

Some might ask: why not just use a generator alone? The answer lies in efficiency. Gas generators run at variable engine speed, depending on real-time power demand—but still wasting fuel and energy. A hybrid setup like the Apex 300 solves this by storing excess energy in its battery, so it can be used precisely when needed. Typically, you'd run the generator during the day to quickly charge the Apex 300, then switch to battery power at night—reducing noise, fuel consumption, and emissions during quiet hours. And since the Apex 300 is safe for indoor storage, there’s no need to worry about leaving a thousand-dollar battery exposed outdoors or inhaling gasoline fumes while you sleep.

🚚 Is it Rugged and Portable?

Jobsite gear needs to be durable—built to handle knocks, dirt, and unpredictable conditions—while staying quiet and clean enough for home use. The Apex 300 is designed with those demands in mind. Its housing is reinforced for everyday wear and tear, and inside, it features an EV-grade LiFePO₄ battery with a lifespan of up to 17 years (well above the industry average of around 10–12 years). It’s also undergone 33 CNAS-certified tests, setting a high bar for long-term safety and reliability.

The hot-swappable design makes battery maintenance quick and safe, while the ergonomic handles allow for easy lifting. Add the optional foldable trolley, and you can move effortlessly between home backup and on-site power—no matter where the job takes you.

Jobsite vs. Home Backup—How Apex 300 handles both

Who’s the Apex 300 for?
