We lose power all the time and I needed a backup system for those moments we lose power from a few seconds to a few hours and maybe help with offsetting my monthly bill.
After the last hurricane and being without power for over a week and having to refill my generator every 11-12 hours I needed to find another way.
I looked into many name brands, found out my insurance would drop me if I put solar panels on our roof so I needed to come up with another plan.
I didn't need a full system, or have a system where the local electrical company could remotely turn off my system, but needed a system in the middle that could also be portable.
So I found this things called solar generators and started looking into them, all the companies have there own +/- and EcoFlow was the winner for all the things I needed.
From the install 3 months ago we have lost power 2 times, ones for almost 2 minutes and other for around 3 1/2 hours. My wife and I didnt even know we had lose power until we had a phone call asking if we had.
My answer, no idea maybe, let me check my APP.
I finished phase 1 3 months ago with a Home Control Panel, 1 Delta Pro 3.6 and 4 solar panels and a double pull switch that makes it super easy for my wife to change to generator power to charge the Delta Pro when am on the road if needed.
The design below is my personal design that gives me backup for backup. I can recharge my Delta Pro via of:
- Grid - Solar - Generator
AMAZING product and I look forward to getting 1 more Delta Pro 3.6 and 2 Delta Pro extra batteries within the year with 4 more solar panels.
The only Con I see is, if a main Delta Pro goes out for whatever reason and you have 2 extra batteries your dead in the water. So you're better off getting 2 Delta Pros 3.6 per leg for the Control Panel and adding what you need from there so if your main units dies you can use the extra battery on the other leg giving you house power.
This my first power stations I ever use it preform more than I expected and I like the style and features Since we didn't have now power outages this winter, It has been on the charger for a while and have loss no power and I most keep at it default settings.
I have several power stations, but since I bought the Delta Pro, I have all the bases covered now. There really isn't much I cannot run with the Delta Pro. From power equipment and tools, to kitchen appliances and about all small to large appliances. The 3600W PSW inverter, along with the 3600Wh battery capacity, makes this a real beast. Although it is heavy and a bit big, it is still portable.
I can take this camping to power my RV along with some panels. Load it up for a party location where we have no power, like the beach, woods, lakeside/riverside, remote worksite and more. Power outages are no longer an issue as we can power about anything with it.
We are very happy with the Delta Pro, and now have a reliable power source whenever needed. It is very versatile, expandable, powerful and portable. The EcoFlow Delta Pro gets 5 stars for its innovative design and awesome performance.
It’s good. But very expensive. Cannot run entire house on one but even a 10 circuit manual transfer switch that can power a lot of things will only stay powered for 53 min if using the entire 3600 KWH OF POWER! So need to purchase yet another unit extra battery to power things longer with 7200KWH CAPABILITY! That’s my disappointment with it. But it’s better than having nothing. Just can’t afford to keep purchasing more to power house which in a long power outage will work. Need to come up w a quicker recharge not by electricity. I have the 400W solar panel as well. Can’t use at night of course and not as quick as the electric charge.
I bought these as an emergency power supply for my home. However, I have expanded the capabilities and now use it for about 45% of my daily electricity usage. I have two Pro base units and each has an added battery. These are connected to two banks of solar panels, of 1000 watts each string. The Pros are connected to a Smart Home Panel, which then powers most of my 15 and 20 amp circuits in my home. I am very happy with the ease of use and reliability of the components. Also, their customer service has been fantastic. I almost went with a DIY solution, but have been very happy with this all-in-one solution. It made the transition a lot faster.
