Today I'm getting a quote from electrician for the smart home panel. I'll be showing this video to the electrician. Your videos help me so much with a lot of projects. Do you think the delta pro and all the optional add on are better than a whole home generac.

We have used the ru-vid.comUgkxOTeIs0vv4_9B5hsmnLsk9r930uDQLu_Y for probably 30 hours with our camper and it’s been great! The noise level is really only noticeable when running the AC and other appliances like the microwave, hair dryer, or coffee pot. It’s not huge like other ones and it has wheels so even at 90lbs, I can move it!

@hey9784 2 года назад

All I can say is that the Delta Pro is one of the best power stations I have ever purchased, I compared this with the EP500 but the Delta Pro is better in a lot of ways. Fast AC wall charging, connectivity and the option to charge it in an EV charging station.

@Crusaderhun 2 года назад

Maybe my math is off, but unless your house does not have access to propane or natural gas, this setup (with 4 ecoflow pros) is a significantly more expensive backup power solution than any portable or standy generator. Not even talking about the fact that 2 ecoflow pro’s have 7000 watt capacity for about an hour. That is not much. Also if someone truly only use it for home backup, highly unlikely these batteries can last over 6-7 years. But again, maybe my math is off

@martinafan64 2 года назад

In the past 10 yrs we have had several power outages that lasted between 1 and 3 days, and the most recent outage was over 3 days. I don't think this Ecoflow setup would have been able to power our necessary appliances, lights, TV, computers, monitors, modem, router, etc that long. I think Ecoflow, Jackery, Bluetti etc are good for shorter power outages (less than 24 hrs) and smaller homes with less people. But gas generators are noisy/smelly (plus you have to leave a door/window open to run the cords through, which might not be safe depending on the crime rate in your area), and whole-house generators are too expensive for us. So we use our Jackery portable power stations when the power goes out initially, then switch over to gas generators when it becomes obvious that power won't be restored before their batteries run out. But I'm looking into getting one Delta Pro for our 2 refrigerators & chest freezer though since it might provide enough power for them to get through most of our shorter power outages. I'm basically looking at these portable power stations as a way to delay having to go through the trouble of getting our 2 gas generators running and then running extension cords through an open door or window.

@cdurch1 2 года назад

It depends on what you're prepping for, short-term brownouts on one end of the scale, all the way up to long-term SHTF events at the other end of the scale. For a long-term SHTF event, such as a prolonged electrical grid failure, how long do you believe the natural gas and / or propane reserves to run your generators will last? When these gas sources fail, or if they fail simultaneously with the grid, how long do you have with your generators? Till fuel runs out, of course. These ecoflows aren't my top choice, but please understand that part of their expense lies in the fact that they offer flexibility and expandability. One could order such a package just to act as a battery backup unit, but then when you add solar later on it, it simply plugs right in. That simple. Or it can be charged by your generator, or when the grid turns back on. Again, not my top choice, but from various reviews with complete tear down and analysis of components, along with benchmark and burden testing, it seems line a very good product. If you knew how to build your own could you do the same thing for far cheaper? Of course.

You are missing the point. The ATS would give you enough time to get your generator running. You can manually transfer from utility power and start using your UPS. The batteries won't last you too long but enough to get by. But if you want more time than get more batteries!

@Hikebike365 Год назад

Nice video. It's a nice idea but unless your already committed to the ecofloe system, have parts that you can actually replace in the event of failure seems critical. Mailing this to service a failed component means mailing 60 pounds of batteries to do any work. At least get a system that keeps the batteries and the electronics separated so service or even replacement is manageable. The ecoflow devices and similar are great but they come with a liability. It would be nice if you could drop the batteries out easily

@Brian-ly9xm 2 года назад

That is one pretty good review of the Delta Pro. One of the reasons why I got the Delta Pro is the option to increase the capacity to a whopping 25kWh.

@nicolaslocke1433 2 года назад

I was supposed to get a Honda gas generator but after watching your video. All I can say is that I am sold on the Delta Pro. especially with the solar charging capacbility which means free energy.

@Pk3_Garage 2 года назад

As nice of a unit this is, you better get that Honda generator as a backup. Our DP got hit with a power surge, while using it in EPS mode. It got damage and was useless. (Good thing we have a Tri-fuel generator) We received a new unit from Ecoflow at no cost to us, but that took a week. A gas generator is just more dependable if maintained and less to go wrong with it, then these high tec. power stations.

@reikoxan Год назад

Can I use delta pro along with the main grid? Power the house untill bateries run out or go to specific % then main power runs the house. I see this marketed as home backup but that use case is rare in my area. I want a solar system that can power the house. This seems to be the hardest part of figuring out how to power mains with batteries/solar setups.

@megatherium99 7 месяцев назад

I have the same question. Can you charge up the ecoflow units using say portable panels, then plug those into the Smart Home Panel, choose what you want to power - then have the unit switch back over to the grid once the batteries drain. Rinse, repeat.

@zzubuzz Год назад

Is the smart home panel worth what it costs? I've heard that there are many panels which would do the same thing for a fraction of the cost. I do own an E.D.Pro..but my electrical panel is not ready for any kind of backup system. I'd be willing to switch it on manually if it meant saving hundreds of dollars.

I'll try and answer your questions: 1) Depends on the kind of transfer switch. We have a 6 and 10 circuit manual transfer switch. I bought two adaptor plugs. A 30 amp. RV plug and Household (2) 5-15 Plug Male to Generator Twist Lock L14-30 Receptacle Female Y Adapter Cord. 2 & 3) Our DP can power our HVAC system, along with all other circuit needed, for about 4 hrs. 4) I know what you mean, but here's the thing. Something is bond to go wrong with this system, that you can't fix. Better figure out a way to maybe set up your generator, before you need it. So, all you have to do is turn it on when needed. Our DP got damaged from a power surge, from the Utility company, during a bad thunderstorm. We couldn't even use it. We do have a tri-fuel generator that we could have used as a backup. People are putting too much trust in these devices, that really haven't shown to be as reliable, as a gas generator.

@willboudreau1187 2 года назад

As a general rule, treat this power source as you would if you were on your generator, that is to say, it is far, FAR weaker than the power you receive from your main line. So when on battery (or generator) power, DO NOT use appliances that generate heat or else you risk tripping the switch, unless you have a alternate power source that rivals your main line. For example, most homes have 100A services to the house spread across 110v and 220v. The key is the 100A. For example, to simplify, if your house runs only 110V appliances, then 110V multiplied by 100A gives 11,000 volt-amps, or 11,000 watts. So if your battery/generator can supply 1.1kWh continuously, then it is just as powerful as your main line and you can run whatever you want. Otherwise, with a power source of a typical 5,000W generator, that means, NO hair dryers, NO clothes dryers, NO ovens (toaster or otherwise), and NO electric water heaters. There are numerous kilowatt calculators online where you can get a summary of your electrical budget to use when sizing a generator. Same deal with this battery system under review. Nothing new under the sun.

Not very long. Without all the extra batteries and buttload of solar panels to recharge it you're still going to need some kind of generator or the power needs to come back on... Somebody says you need a 20 kW generator. Well this is a 7.2 KW setup. So it's approximately 1/3 of the size of the 20 kW generator. Generac systems are great. They're not cheap. And they definitely will oversize your unit so you can't complain you don't have enough power. No one can answer these questions. You might have a two-story house with dual air conditioners. Or you might have a little two bedroom house with window units. All in all these batteries in a box are great for portable power or for very short-term power outages.

I’m guessing it’s the fact that you don’t pick circuits with Powerwall systems. We don’t install them here in MA with critical load panels similar to what is shown in the video. Almost every install we back up the entire house. If we dont back up the entire house, the number one item we load shed is the AC condenser if the LRA/RLA is too high. You also have to take into consideration how many Powerwalls you are purchasing when it comes to those larger loads.

@thatcreole9913 2 года назад

Love my SHP but really confused as to why it drains both my Delta Pros slowly over time. After a month of being connected, more than 30% of my battery capacity has been drained with zero power outages or other events that would cause the batteries to be required. Leaving the batteries disconnected from the SHP “solves” the problem for me but obviously is non ideal. My best guess is that when the Delta Pros are connected, they never timeout and for some reason are pulling power from themselves vs the grid to provide connectivity.

@TheBsEr 2 года назад

My is doing the same thing. Does your panel charge your batteries?

@thatcreole9913 2 года назад

@@TheBsEr Yes. It seems we have two options. 1) Manually trigger the charge via the app or 2) Set a rule to auto recharge after a certain level is passed. I just did another test where I charged up the batteries to 100%, left them both physically connected to the SHP but turned one of the AC ports off and EPS (the super fast fail over) off as well. The result after 14 days with zero power outages was 43% drain on one Delta Pro and 26% on the other. I then charged them both back up to 100%, physically unpluged them from the SHP and waited. It's only been 7 days so far but both Delta Pro's are still at 100% charge. The only thing I can figure is that when they are plugged into the SHP, the batteries never turn off. In the app you can see how the timeout (which I've set to 30 mins... the lowest setting) switches to "Never" and you can't change it. It's REALLY weird that it would draw power from the batteries to stay on and even more weird that there's that much power drain over 2 weeks just to keep the wifi or whatever on.

@TheBsEr 2 года назад

@@thatcreole9913 thank you! Sorry another quick question, are your batteries hooked up to 30amp breakers through the SHP? I dont think my are and when I tried to turn on Recharge, it just turns back to off right away. I tried turning off fast charge on the batteries and still seem to happen

In Chicago the price of electricity is higher during the day. Wonder if you can turn off the main power and use the batteries during the peak power hours of the day. Then switch it back during the evening when the price is cheaper.

Would this system permit those of us with solar panels to be able to maintain power from our panels and the Delta Pro during a power outage? Currently when we lose grid power, our panels also shut off so as to not backfeed to the grid.

Thanks for the review on this... I hadn't seen anything on the power panel on RU-vid at all. Do you know if the power panel requires two EcoFlows or could I get started with panel and one before getting a 2nd? I realize I can't get 240 until I have the two, but still be nice for 120 house backup.

@Pk3_Garage 2 года назад

You can use just one DP. You have to remember though; the smart home panel will only work with a DP. If your DP has issues, guess what, no power to those circuits and you can't use a generator to connect to the Smart Home Panel. A smarter solution would be to install a 10-circuit manual transfer switch. This way, you can power those ten circuits, with a portable generator and/or a DP. We have this set up and it works great. You will need a changeover switch to switch between the generator and power station. Our DP powers everything in our house, minus the central air. When the DP needs charging, we run our generator to recharge it., in less than 3 hrs. We can still provide power to our entire house, plus the central air, if needed.

@AndreViens 2 года назад

@@Pk3_Garage yeah I thought about that but I like that the smart panel provides instant switchover. I know it's kind of just a "first world problem" since during an extended outage (which isn't that often for me) to go down and hook it up.

@Pk3_Garage 2 года назад

Actually, once everything is hooked up, just leave everything plugged in. When you suspect a power outage, turn on the DP, flip the switches to Gen and your good to go. The DP has an EPS mode (Emergency Power Supply) that works like an UPS. It switches over to battery power within 30ms. It works very. Just make sure you have a whole house and single outlet surge protector. Our DP was damaged during a thunderstorm, while using it in EPS mode because of a power surge when the utility power came back on.

Now having a hybrid, having the batteries and a gas generator would be amazing, the batteries get low and the gas generator turns on and charges them!

@xxfire07 2 года назад

EcoFlow has a smart generator that does exactly that. It will automatically start and charge the batteries when they get low. I just order my system with the smart generator. Also, don’t forget that they batteries can be hooked up to solar panels. The system has pass through charging so you generate energy and use it at the same time. When my ecoflow system is complete it will have batteries, solar and a smart generator.
