Yes. It covers a refrigerator's start-up peak, and an ENERGY STAR fridge alone would run for about 2.3 days on a full charge, battery only.
It can feed selected circuits, including 240 V ones like a well pump, through a transfer switch (BLUETTI home backup kits with transfer switch) installed by a licensed electrician. It can't run everything at once: its limit is 3.8 kW continuous.
With panels at its 2.4 kW solar limit, expect roughly 2.8 kWh back on a clear day (our clear-day solar curve, the same one the planner uses), so about 100% of the battery.
