Reservations & Installation

Everything you need to know to get started.

Why should I make a reservation ? 

You’re reserving early access to one of our limited Founders Edition systems. By reserving now, you're locking in exclusive Founders Edition pricing — no surprises later.

It’s $100 to reserve your spot. That deposit is fully refundable and gets applied to your final purchase price.  Read our full Reservation Terms & Conditions.

When will my system ship?

We plan to begin shipping systems January, 2026. You’ll receive multiple email communications leading up to that date to confirm your order, and give you time to prepare.

Is there any obligation to buy?

Nope. You’re not locked into anything until your system ships. Cancel anytime before then for a full refund.

Is installation included with my purchase?

No. Installation isn’t included in the reservation price, but we’ve made setup easy. Once your system ships, we’ll connect you with certified installers in your area — or support your preferred electrician with detailed guides.

How much will installation cost?

We designed our system from the beginning to be an electrician's best friend. Thanks to our modular setup, we expect our installation costs to be the most competitive on the market. More details on the installation process will be coming soon.

Can I install it myself?

We recommend using a licensed electrician. Our systems are plug-and-play ready, but proper installation is key to performance, safety, and keeping your warranty valid. More details on the installation process will be coming soon.

Where can the system be installed?

All components are outdoor-rated and built to handle heat, rain, snow, and salt air. Whether you mount them outside or in your garage, they’re ready for anything.

Smart Panel

Below are some common questions about our smart electrical panel.

What makes the Kora Smart Panel different from a traditional electrical panel?

The Kora Smart Panel lets you control and automate your home’s circuits from anywhere. Turn things off from your phone. Prioritize what stays on during an outage. Even sell extra battery or solar energy when market prices are high — all through the Kora app.

Will it lower my electric bill?

That’s the goal. By automating usage and shifting loads to off-peak hours, the panel helps you use energy smarter — especially when paired with solar or battery storage.

Can I control it from my phone?

Absolutely. The Kora app gives you full remote access: monitor usage, flip circuits, schedule automations, and manage your energy in real time no matter where you are.

Will it work with my existing solar or battery setup?

In most cases, yes. While the panel is built to work seamlessly with Kora batteries and our hybrid inverter, it can also integrate with select third-party systems, including Tesla, Enphase, and SunRun.

What happens in a power outage?

Kora automatically shifts your home to backup power and keeps your essentials running. You can pick which appliances matter most — and the Smart Panel handles the rest.

Can it help during a utility peak demand event?

Yes. The Smart Panel can lower your usage when rates spike. It even looks ahead to predicted demand events and adjusts your home’s usage — like pre-cooling or pre-heating — to lock in savings.

How does the Kora Smart Panel stay connected?

The panel is equipped with Wi-Fi, Ethernet, Bluetooth and 4G for fast, flexible control and updates.

Can I install it in an off-grid home?

Yes. The Smart Panel supports both grid-tied and off-grid setups and gives you full control over your energy, no matter where you live.

How long will it last?

The Kora Smart Panel is built to last over 30 years with solid-state components and regular over-the-air updates to keep it future-ready.

Powerblocks

Below are some common questions about our Lithium-ion battery and hybrid inverter stacks.

What is included in Powerblocks?

Each Powerblocks is a stack of modular, outdoor-rated LFP (Lithium Iron Phosphate) batteries (2 to 7) and a hybrid inverter.

What storage capacities are available?

Each battery module stores 4 kWh of usable energy. Powerblocks can be configured with up to 7 batteries (for 28 kWh per stack). Combine up to 4 Powerblocks together for 112 kWh of total storage.

How long will the system be efficient?

The system is rated for 6,000+ full cycles, which translates to 15–20+ years of daily use—with strong performance long after that.

Is the battery safe?

Yes. We use Lithium Iron Phosphate (LFP), a chemistry known for zero thermal runaway risk, stable operation, and no cobalt.

Does it need active cooling or ventilation?

No. The battery stack uses natural convection cooling. It’s also equipped with cold-weather heating and operates safely between -13°F and 131°F.

How fast does it charge?

Each stack supports 50A charging and 60A discharging. Charge times depend on your solar output and inverter capacity, but full recharge typically takes 2–5 hours.

Can I take it off-grid?

Absolutely. With enough capacity and solar, the system can power a home fully off-grid with seamless switchover in under 20ms.

What is the warranty?

All battery stacks come with a 12.5-year limited warranty, covering performance and reliability.

Does it support grid export and Time-Of-Use savings?

Yes. The hybrid inverter within supports bi-directional charging, sending power back to the grid and managing battery charge/discharge based on utility rates.

Is it EV-charger friendly?

Yes. It can work with Level 2 EV chargers and prioritize solar or off-peak charging to cut your charging costs.

How does Powerblocks handle power outages?

It switches to backup mode in under 20ms, keeping your essentials powered with no manual intervention.
