The International Builders’ Show (IBS) 2025 has just concluded, showcasing a plethora of the latest innovations in home and construction technology. Jackery made a significant impact at the event, presenting its new Explorer 5000 Plus solar generator and offering a glimpse into the future of solar roofing, providing homeowners with a distinctive option for powering their appliances.
As backup power solutions gain importance for modern smart homes, the Jackery 5000 Plus emerges as a streamlined, low-maintenance choice. It can be seamlessly integrated into your home through the Jackery Smart Transfer Switch, automatically turning on at the first sign of a power outage. This ensures that essential appliances, medical equipment, and electronic devices remain operational, even if the electrical grid fails.
With impressive specifications, the generator boasts a 7200W output and can expand storage capacity up to 60kWh. It operates nearly silently and is designed without harmful emissions, making it suitable for indoor use. Furthermore, it can be recharged with solar panels, extending its lifespan, and it supports both 120V and 240V, providing flexibility for various devices.
In regard to solar technology, Jackery also featured the innovative Jackery Solar Roof at IBS 2025. Earlier showcased at CES 2025, this solar roof acts as both roofing material and solar panels. Instead of installing conventional solar panels on rooftops, the Solar Roof presents a more aesthetically pleasing option. Its sleek, curved design transforms sunlight into energy and comes with a substantial 30-year warranty, exhibiting resilience against extreme weather conditions, suitable for a variety of climates across the United States.
Moreover, these tiles are built to endure high winds and hail, ensuring long-term reliability as a power source. Available in obsidian or terracotta, homeowners can select a style that complement their personal aesthetics.
The Jackery Explorer 5000 Plus comes in different configurations, starting at $3,499 for the base model and potentially reaching up to $7,999 with the Smart Transfer Switch and professional installation. Pricing for the Jackery Solar Roof is dependent on the size of the home, anticipated to range between $13,000 and $27,000, which includes installation costs. While this may seem steep, compared to competing products from brands like Tesla, Jackery offers a more budget-friendly solution.
