Nice video on this! Btw they recommend doing a recalibration from time to time. Charge to 100% then shut the unit off for a few hours is how you calibrate. With the smart home panel what happens when the batteries hit your 20%. Do those curcuits switch over to grid or just lose power during a set rule? Also I think you can independently set your DP's to charge at the lowest charge speed when your schedule is set to recharge delta pro so it doesn't completely recharge it.
Hi I have the complete system four batteries, two deltapro inverters, and the smart panel which gets its power from solar panels. BUT. I can not get my smart panel to supply voltage to my ten circuits when I switch from grid power. Any suggestion's??? I am lost. Also my electrcian never hooked up grounds and nuetrals from my smart panel because we never charge the batteries from the grid, could this be my problem.
Hi - Loved the video. What type of solar panels are you using to charge your Delta Pro’s? How many are you using? Do you have the full 1600 Watts? Thanks.
4 panels per DP. Panels are cheap used 240 watt units. They seem to put out at least 200 watts each in ideal conditions. I was fully charging the DP by noon from 20%, but I just recalibrated the DP and learned i was getting much less than I should have been. I'll post a video soon to describe the issue I found.
The Delta Pro can have up to 1600 watts of solar if you can stay within the 150 V VOC and 15 A. I have yet to find solar panels that you can get that will get you to 1600 w. 3 X 320 w Renogy solar panels at 40.1v VOC = 120 V less than the 150 V VOC Add 1 more panel and the Delta Pro does not recognize solar panels are plugged in. The EcoFlow does not tell you that you are limited to 150v (VOC).
What are your thoughts about the SMP vs just using a transfer switch with the Deltas running as a UPS/using the settings on the delta pros and transfer switch manually while plugged into a grid outlet and solar panels. Unless you have it switching on and off multiple breakers between gen/grid it seems pointless.
I think the smart Home Panel is really only worth the cost if you plan to switch to the delta pros every day to avoid the high cost of peak energy. If just for emergency backup during an outage then the transfer switch is fine.
I have the same setup you do - two EcoFlow Delta Pros and a Smart Home Panel. However, I have never been able to get the SHP to even recognize, much less connect to wi-if in my house. So, I can’t control the setup remotely using the app unless I’m down in the basement in Bluetooth range. EcoFlow customers support ran some diagnostics and said my SHP was defective, so they paid to return it and sent a replacement. However, that didn’t fix the problem! Did you have any wi-fi issues when you installed your SHP? Or, do you have any suggestions for getting my SHP today connect to my home wi-fi?
Finally, my SHP has connected to my home wi-fi! It took an app update and a firmware update for the SHP and the two Delta Pros, but it all now works together correctly!
Difficulty level? I’m not a certified electrician, but I’m comfortable with the panel. I’d plan on taking out the main breaker for ultimate safety. The RU-vid install video seems very straight forward. Just want to make sure I’m not missing anything. Thank you….
If you run during the most expensive time and the grid tied panels are feeding your home if you draw from the batteries instead will you get credited at the higher rate to further lower your bill?
I'm not sure. If i understand your question you mean can I attach a third party battery to the SHP that the DPs can draw from to charge up or basically to increase the kwh available. Add far as I know I can only use the delta pro extra batteries which are a bit pricey.
