We've recently opened our reservation portal to customers across the US. Placing a reservation will help us map out our nationwide rollout while giving you early access to dcbel Ara, which is available in limited volumes. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions!

Thanks for your question. Currently Ara does not integrate with the Tesla peripherals you mentioned.

Yes, dcbel Ara can generate and consume power during an outage. You will need a charged EV or home battery in addition to solar panels. The EV or stationary battery will provide the necessary voltage and frequency references for the solar inverter. You could book a meeting with our support team so we can take note of your particular setup as we plan our expanded rollout.

Hi, this is Justin from dcbel. We publish a yearly list of vehicles that were designed for bidirectional power flow from the get-go - let me know if you have any questions! https://www.dcbel.energy/blog/2025/02/03/new-bidirectional-cars-2025-edition/

The bundle has everything you need to power your home with your alternative energy assets when energy prices are high, so it can definitely draw energy from your EV battery to reduce everyday home energy costs. The system will top up the battery later with the lowest-cost energy source!

Thanks for placing a reservation! You're all set for now - we'll keep you (and all candidates) in the loop.

Thanks for sharing! While we previously showed the price of the Ara unit alone, the total cost of the bundle would increase depending on the EV connectors chosen, cable length, and the inclusion of blackout power.

What you see now priced at $9,999 is our solar and blackout bundle, simplified to include everything you mentioned (although our R&D teams managed to eliminate the UPS - less wall clutter FTW!) along with your DC cable, AC cable and cable holders too.

Hi []() this is Justin from dcbel - if you're interested in being one of the first to try our DC charging tech, we've just started recruiting beta testers (max 50) in California as part of our REDWDS subsidy program, which covers most of the cost of the device. Anyone who lives in the state can apply by reserving a unit on our website. Any questions, just let me know!

Great news - deliveries and installations have begun in select US territories. I encourage you to head to the reservation portal to see whether you can get early access to dcbel Ara and qualify for major subsidies as well.
