I'm a HUGE fan of self sufficient energy solutions - so when I saw EcoFlow come out with a new stackable home battery back up system, I knew I had to have it. This EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra has a name as long as it is tall. The Delta Pro Ultra can stack 5 batteries tall - 30kWh per stack, and 3 stacks of batteries can be connected with a EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2.

@yourtechjohn

I have the Pro as well. I've them to be fickle for anything but on-demand use. If you set it up in "UPS" mode, sometimes the AC inverter shuts off even with a full charge. These Pro ULTRAs appear to be designed for 24/7 use, so hopefully not an issue. My main concern with this panel is the same issue I have with the other ecoflow units. The ecoflow pro requires an internet connection back to homebase in order for your app to talk with it. Looking at the page for the Smart Home Panel, it seems to have the same requirement. Like please just give me a web page I can access on the local network (or bluetooth). Even if it was an add-on box that we mount next to the panel.
@JohnSmith-wt3mw
@JohnSmith-wt3mw 3 місяці тому
​@yourtechjohn either you have the Pro set wrong or it's defective. I use one with my pellet stove. In EPS mode, it's not a UPS, it passes power from the grid to the pellet stove. Lose power and the battery takes over. About 20-30m. There are settings in that app to adjust the timeout for AC and device use. If you have either on a time limit, the Pro will fully shut down after the set time if no usage is detected. Do you have anything plugged in drawing power when the inverter shuts off? If bot it won't stay on to act as an EPS for the connected device. Don't you need internet for a web page? In any case, dont need the App to control devices. They make a screen for the Pro's and for the SHP2 that function just like that app on your phone. Though that is ideally another cost and less convenient.

90kWh sounds like a lot but for many, in winter, it's not sufficient. Considering heating with a heat pump a mind blowing amount of kWh is required to get through the dark winter months (well over 1000kWh) or a massive amount of solar panels so it actually charges with the little light there is during winter. Factor in an EV and off-grid solely relying on solar panels becomes quite a challenge. But for a backup or for dynamic pricing this would be pretty good! Now the price ...
@rkan2
@rkan2 3 місяці тому
Depends where you live and how big your solar system is. Also depends on what your heat pump source is. A ground based heatpump would last 100 hours or more with 90kWh producing about 5kW of heat with a COP of 5 even when it is really cold. Above about 55N it gets difficult to gather enough solar for use with a heat pump, unless you have a really big battery and really big solar system. (200kWh+ and 100kW of solar) In many places in Canada and the US for example you get plenty of solar during the day even in the winter, so with a sufficienrly sized solar system you'll easily run a heatpump and even charge up some batteries when it is cold. Talking more lik that 90kWh and 25-50kW solar system.

At its basic level, it is expensive compared to some other options, but still a good value. The capability and expandability make it worth considering. One should factor in labor savings when comparing to a permanent installation. The smart panel is pricey, but reasonable. I don't understand why they didn't just REPLACE the existing panel. The 6KW battery is as large one would want for a portable application. For stationary systems, larger 15KW units are more practical.

@@BraveRock their website advertises the one month number as well. It's unlikely you can charge a 90 kW battery in one day just from solar. You would need a huge solar array and ideal sunlight conditions. I suspect they are doing some creative math for their advertising though. Maybe they are assuming you are only running your lights and fridge in a power outage scenario. 90 kW is like 7 Tesla Power walls though, and you could easily get two weeks of power out of that.

"All you need is $200,000 dollars for the parts and $10,000 in installation fees and you too can have power" just like that 8 sleep system. "Just $4,000, and then you pay a monthly subscription to use it, and it's the best sleep of your life." I swear you only use crazy expensive sponsors. Is this a channel for millionaires now?

With solar, you can start small. Buy one panel, maybe second-hand, a battery, a charge controller and some 12V lights. Then grow from there with an inverter etc. That's how I started.

I like your videos but I'd really like to see less sponsors videos. It's just you reading off a product spec sheet and we get no real indication if the product is any good or how it compares to the competition. Or even any negatives about it because I'm guessing the sponsor doesn't want to saying anything negative?

They also make a portable seamless gas generator that fits right into the pack, and will go off and on when the solar runs out. It can charge a battery in 2-3 hrs, full. I think this would be less then 1-2 gallons of gas every couple weeks. Good alternative to a second battery or off-grid back up.

I am looking at this for a tiny home I'm building. But honestly my hydro usage is very low even with a AC, heat and split unit. Essentially this is the same as 5-6 years of my hydro bill. Think this is great for multiple people house hold but 1-2 people would take longer to see there return if they don't run a lot of stuff

I mean, i definitely cant afford this now, but maybe in 10 years. We just got an awesome 10kW generator that basically powers the entire home. We lose power during the winter for multiple days so its awesome (just had to use it for 3 days last week. Coupled with Starlink internet, we didnt even really know we didnt have powerr. I'd love to get full on battery and solar as a backup, and even switch to it entirely. again, maybe a 10 year plan.

0:45 90kWh of energy would be enough for about 3-8 days, not a month when you have a heating system not relying on electricity. Still, pretty awesome but not enough to go offgrid, cloudy weather can last for up to a monht some places.
