After reading many reviews and watching a lot of videos, I chose this option for my first backup power station. ru-vid.comUgkxHypYDKHAN93Lp2RQpfvU_ksc70wJ00pt I was between this and a larger option that could power a wider range of items, but the price/size/capacity blend seemed right for this unit. Hasn't gotten a ton of use yet, but the build quality is solid and it charges fine via the Rockpals solar panel I purchased to pair with it. One thing to note is that the screen is optimized for a top down viewing angle, which makes sense, but this means it washes out at other angles - especially low angles. Not a huge deal, but perhaps a better option for the display could be used to provide wider viewing angles.
I must be missing something; this install seems very straight forward. 80/90% of connections are done before even needing to touch the electrical box. All the smart home connections seem plug and play simple. In the electrical box you're just switching out the load wire per breaker with the appropriate wire from the smart panel. Then marrying the load wire to the other wire from the SHP. I still want an electrician to pull the permit and do the final hookup, but I feel the prep work (before the electrical panel) is straight forward.
I got my Delta Pro last week. Prevously I planned to integrate it into my homesystem. After trying it in some situations, I recognized the fan is much too loud to use the ecoflow inside. Is there a possibility to configure the fan noise?
I would advise avoiding Shop Solar, their tech support is most unhelpful. Deal dirctly with ECO Flow, or a different vendor if you are looking for an easier transition.
The further away from the “regular” panel the more you have what is called voltage drop. Your panels should be close to each other the way it shows in the video.
I had purchased 2 SHP, 4 Delta Pro, and 3 extra batteries. The 1st SHP and the 2 Delta Pro was working with no problems until I added the 2nd SHP. It can never pass the wire test on the 2nd SHP with all 10 circuits. Even I triple check all the wires and install one circuit at a time. It can never go past 4 circuits before I failed my wire test. Circuit the passed the wire test the day before will suddenly fail. It will sometime crosslink my circuit information between the 2 panels and locked my circuit because it’s not the correct information. I’ve been talking the tech support for the past 2 months and we have agreed that the problem is the software and they will find a patch and upload to me but I’m still waiting. I lost all the names I had put in on both panels 2 weeks ago and tech support told me it could be because their server went down and they will check with R&D and get back to me. That was the last time I heard from them. I had sent 3 follow up emails but no response. My 2nd SHP is running 240 but the software only allow me the choose 120. I am scare this could be a fire hazard but they are just ignoring my email.
Not sure why Ecoflow posted this video, I tried buying the smart panel, the company won’t sell it too me. I have a professional certified Electrician, whom stated he would install for me, but I guess you have to use Ecoflow electricians, whom never contacted me back after multiple attempts of filling out the survey.
Can't the output wires go directly to appliances instead of being routed to the house breaker panel? I understand i need to re route the conduit piping from the existing home breaker panel, my concern is too many joints and extra wires in the house breaker panel. I just rewatched, the house circuit breaker is attached to each input relay, with same current, in the smart panel. Then the live output (black wire, which confused me for negative) is connected to the appliance live wire previously removed from the house circuit breaker. And then another circuit breaker is added to the house panel for charging the two Delta Pros. The negative wire remains as was in the house breaker panel. Got it!
When I’m in the basement near the panel everything works fine over Bluetooth. But, it simply will not recognize and connect to my home wi-fi no matter how much I try, which means there is no way to access the panel using my phone elsewhere in the home or while away from home. I’ve gone back and forth with customer service, and followed all of their suggestions, but still nothing!
Sir, I was wondering the same thing about wifi, however it appears that the Smart Panel is bluetooth only, but some of the power packs have a 2.4ghz wifi ability. I may be wrong.
@@pauloneal2330 Actually, the Smart Panel is supposed to connect via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, but mine won’t connect to Wi-Fi. EcoFlow techs have done remote troubleshooting and determined my Smart Panel is defective, so they are sending me a new one. Just today they sent me the pre-paid mailing label so I can return the defective unit.
I just received my Delta 2 today. Even this device, which obviously has much less capacity than a Delta Pro, is amazing. I wanted it mainly for it's portability. I'm going to add an extra battery to the Delta 2, and then get a Delta Pro, also with an extra battery. We just had a storm here less than a month ago, and the power was out for nearly 3.5 days. I did have a 70Ah LiFePo4 battery and a 220 watt panel, so I wasn't without power, but I'll never go without a substantial system again. EcoFlow is leading the pack in these devices.
I can't get his panel to work, firmware update keeps failing, grid light flashes white and red, error light is on. I can't get live support to help with the issues...Had two different electricians take a crack at it. if anyone knows what we might be missing please let me know. Thanks,
I had to use another device to get the initial firmware to go, then it failed because my router lost power, once I got that powered back on it worked from that 2nd device to do the update
I was looking for the same thing. My guess is that they tie into the actual delta pro units themselves. So you're limited to the size/amount of panels per battery unit. So to run a house off solar would probably require 4 at minimum, depending on what you have
I have an Ecoflow delta pro, I am wondering if it is necessary to use the "Smart Home Panel" made by Ecoflow? I've heard that this is just their brand, and it is very expensive compared to other control panels, what makes this better and why?
I would not spend that kind of money when I could just use the dual voltage hub on my two DPs and plug that 240v output to a 30 amp generator input to my existing panel with a lockout kit. To me this is much more effective
Hilarious. This won't work for most people because they have their main panel set in the wall between 2 studs and drywall. Not easy to go into the side.
Hilarious that someone who can’t open an electrical panel or cut a piece of drywall wants to install a backup electrical system, that can power an entire home… calls electrician, “hey sorry I’m not able to run another circuit it looks like your electrical panel is recessed into the wall like 70% of homes”
