EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra & Smart Home Panel 2: Installation+Tests 

good job... your video sold me....

Great video. Wish EcoFlow had their own financing.

I recently ordered the new Delta Pro Ultra from EcoFlow, but I'm having a frustrating issue. They sent me the inverter but not the battery, and to make matters worse, they charged me for the full unit. When I emailed them to ask about the missing battery, they informed me that the batteries for this unit are out of stock and will be available in mid-July. However, when I called their customer service number, I was told the batteries would be in stock in early July. These conflicting dates are leaving me stuck with a Delta Pro Ultra and no battery indefinitely. Adding to my frustration, their website still allows people to order the kits and the batteries as if they're readily available.

Thank you… please make more in depth videos like this for buyers newly adopting the eco flow platform… this was much needed i assure you.. From DUBAI with ❤

Thank you for the video! I really appreciated the part at the end where you mentioned you showed in an older video that the 4 Ton A/C Could be run off a single DPU Inverter. I know on the website it said something about needing to be 120 LRA or below. My A/C Unit at home is 127.1 LRA and I don't believe it has a soft-start like yours. Would having 2 inverters mitigate the risk of the DPU(s) being able to handle my A/C Unit? (Live in Texas and Hurricane season succcckssss)

If I have a grid tied solar PV system, will this be able to run withe input from the grid tied solar while in "off grid" mode? Assuming no, but hoping yes. :)

@EcoFlow , Question, if i have a generator and i want to Charge this and not go directly to an inlet, can i plug a Genie Directly into the unit and charge while the home is on Bat Backup? If so am i limited to the just the 110 AC input for charging? Thanks

So far two questions, they have a trade in program and i already have a delta pro, should i keep that and just use it with the ultra? Will the ecoflow smart generator work in the generator port? Great video

Thumbs up 👍. I think this may make my wish list.

Is the smart panel designed in such a way that the critical circuits are still powered even if the ‘smart’ feature/circuitry gets fried or dies?

Average Joe gave us more information in a 32 minute video than 200 calls to EcoFlow support in 2 years. Consider the free tutorial value of the video rather than bash the guys channel. You don’t have to tune to the channel just to bad mouth the content and his channel

What is your preferred portable solar panel of choice to run with the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra? I noticed at the 31:10 mark, you show two panels that are more of a ‘portrait’/vertical orientation (versus many that are horizontal) with nice structure. What brand are these vertically oriented panels? Very informative. Great video.

Question: Do the batteries get charged through the Smart Home Panel 2, directly from the main circuit breaker? Or do you keep the inverter plugged into the wall outlet to keep them charged (assuming no solar input is available)?

So, for power management, my view is the inverse of what you did. I believe that the main panel needs to have backup coverage with small exceptions. I want to be able to control 2 circuits currently in my main panel: Hot Tub, and EV Charger. Those need to go offline when grid goes off, but can be commanded on (so put in SHP2 circuits). Everything else we have manual control over, therefore main panel is on the "always-backed-up" list. Does DPU with SHP2 provide for this?

The when he was doing the computer test. He used the app. It's always going to show the best results. It should have been sudden like somebody switching the breaker off. Simulate a real power outage while he was on the computer

I have an inquiry Can the solar system provide power to the house to offset utility demand and charge the battery? Thanks

Can the ultra be charged with the car's (cigarette lighter) port?

Would love to have this setup down in New Orleans, Louisiana given hurricane season and just our general bad power infrastructure. However, my kidneys probably aren’t in great shape for the black market to afford one.

Have you had a problem with delta pro ultra sold by amazon? The q/a:"Is ac pass through possible with 120v input? A:Use the c20 outlet for a bypass mode with a 120v input. There is no bypass mode for 240v input. AC output is turned off at this time."

Can I charge this with my existing solar panels?

Just bought DF Pro Ultra. How do I access any type of customer support? I need startup/setup instructions. Don’t want to blow something up! Feel like I’m on my own out here…

Does the SHP2 come with the two cables to run from the Ultra to the Smart Home Panel or are they sold separately? Same with the breakers... need to buy any breakers? Great video!

Would i be able to power a single circuit on the SHP2 using the Delta Pro Ultra, or is it all circuits or nothing with either battery or grid? Said differently, if i have 12 circuits on the SHP2 but only want to power the A/C unit circuit with the battery overnight while the other circuits draw from the grid, is that doable?

Odd but very unanswered question. This goes in a garage. Garages are dirty and dusty. Won’t that destroy the invertor since it’s sucking in dust to stay cool. I imagine you could put a filter over the vents. But can this unit live in a saw dust environment?

Question; I have 25 circuits in my 200 amp main panel and plan to move the 12 most critical to this smart sub panel strictly for emergency power needs using a 2 battery Ultra configuration. My concern is the reliability of this smart panel and specifically the manual transfer switches. What type of switches are these? Are they a simple electro-mechanical switch where if the automated portion fails the manual function still works? I don't want to dedicate the 12 most critical circuits in my home and later experience a switch failure in the panel with no way to switch power for those circuits as for me it's either grid or battery. I've read at least one instance of a user having a panel issue where EcoFlow sent them a replacement SH2 panel which is an expensive swap out if an electrician is required. Are control components in this panel replaceable without having to disconnect and remove the entire panel?

Cool video and what a nice set up! That is really slick. One thing that wasn't addressed was grounding. The inverters have grounding screws and I think a special cable is used for that. The manual to me is unclear about when to use this. There is one paragraph that states this: "When the product connected to PV modules is put inside the building, it needs to be grounded to reduce the risk of electric shock. Before using the ground terminal, consult a qualified electrician, electrical inspector, or local agency having jurisdiction for local codes or ordinances that apply to the intended use of the product." I don't find any mention of how the DPUs are grounded, if they have a FLOATING NEUTRAL or a BONDED NEUTRAL. I am not planning to charge the batteries using the grid, only solar. Also, do you have your solar panels grounded to your house main grounding rod? Any info is greatly appreciated, thank you.

This device is connected to another device via the power input/output port A/C output ports are now disabled Hey average Joe, I’m having a couple issues with my unit… Do you have any advice? This is what I am getting on my display on my phone.

QUESTION. The app shows the charging power can be set from 500 watts to 7200 watts. What should I set it on? Thanks in advance.

AveRage Joe: Excellent video, as always, especially parts about app options and settings with examples of practical use. EcoFlow: When will EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra be available in the 240V version for Europe?

Not available in India.🙄??

What type type-brand breakers can be used in the Smart Panel 2 breaker box?

If 1 unit supports 240v, then why spend the extra money to have two? Wouldn't it be more cost effective to buy more batteries instead?

*Thank you for doing this video. I appreciate you going through operation and setup of everything via the app. This demonstrates how the new Delta Pro Ultras work. I have an EcoFlow River 600 MAX with a fuse blown out 12 Volt cigarette lighter circuit, but apart from that everything is still working. I would like to get two Delta Pro's and a Smart Circuit Box version 2 for a complete home backup solution. Question: Can you plug three Regular Delta Pros directly into the Smart Circuit Box Version 2, or must you use the special dual split phase 240 AC Output box for two Delta Pros just to be able to connect to one of three power station supply inputs on the Smart Home Circuit Box version 2 ?*

How can i setup this up if my circuit breaker is outside the house?

Do you need a Permit to have this installed?

If one already has a generator circuit/plug already installed on the main panel, can that be used to charge the batteries or does the generator have to be directly wired to the smart panel?

Question: I see in the video that when you have your SHP2 open, the red light doesn't come on, however, when I open my panel door, that light comes on, why is that? And do I have to turn off EPS mode to use the Scheduled Tasks mode, seems like it defeats the purpose of continuous power?

I bought the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 and signed up for Ecoflow to find me a electrician and picked 3 days for somebody to contact me. I got no email or phone call and now stuck with $2000 of equipment that I can't get installed.

12 breaker spots is a shame. This is almost perfect but I want to power more of my house to use my solar power efficiency during oeak hours.

why do you play boom boom music while talking? Who likes that?

Do not buy from these people at all if you need any support you're going to have to talk to the philippines. Spend $15,000 to set up your home and you got to talk to people that don't know what they're talking about how unfair is that ! This is ridiculous a lot of when you buy something is about the back end support you get !!! We take your money and then good luck

This EcoFlow Ultra environment, while impeccably engineered on the surface, is flawed and not ready for prime time. The hardware installation and set up is simple and somewhat straight forward, but that’s where the full beauty of the design ends. The software and app that are actually responsible for insuring that you have power when the grid goes down do not deliver. The biggest issue is the parasitic draw down on the battery when the system is in idle. There are a number of functions on the app that conflict with one another, making work arounds to reduce battery drain impossible. Some app features don’t work at all. And as mentioned in another post, customer support, while courteous, is basically useless. The jury is still out to see if the software functionality is going to catch up with the hardware. I’m not holding my breath…

Eco flow is garbage. I’ve been dealing with them for months to get a refund. Stay as far away from this company as you can.

I wish EcoFlow would help me with emergency power for the camper I live in and use it as a tax writeoff. But since I`m disabled the U.S. "Government" would punish me big time and disabled people can`t get credit or help in any way from anybody.

Ecoflow sold me a faulty Smart Home Panel 2. Then refused to make it right. DO NOT BUY!

The booming 'swangas' background bass is distracting.
