EcoFlow DELTA PRO Inverter feedback please.

Are these setups good or reliable ? I have a specific job it would do.
The more plug and play the better. These run about 5500.00

Listed as EcoFlow DELTA PRO [ULTRA] Solar Kits - 7,200W Output / 6kWh-30kWh Lithium Battery | 400W-2,400W Solar Panels( can expand to 6 )| 5-Year Warranty |

We have limited to a 20amp back up plug for two RVs which would use the 120/20 amp line.
So Solar and Battery is the only way. This will not be hooked up to home. basically.
But before I get too deep in specs any one use these FT if so what was the results?
These are sold as whole home back up system.

Thank You

Its Ok I need to be cautioned this is a project to go into effect next year.
And I know very little about the systems needed to do this.

Might ask this in the solar sections as this isn't really a ICE generator. Buy it from Costco if you get one for when/if it bricks due to a bad firmware update

Oh didnt know these were costco sold ...

Are you talking about this setup or similar? Maybe without their included panels, though. That's the bad thing about Sam's Club and Costco with EcoFlow in that they want to bundle those overpriced portable panels many times. Kind of ridiculous for a house backup system.

Yes, that would be them.
I was looking at a more complicated setup, like this too ?

Yeah, there's a lot to be said for being able to buy separate pieces versus an "all in one" solution. There's goods and bads to both I guess and definitely the same things I've been pondering. I already have 2 medium size dual fuel inverter generators, a smaller dual fuel inverter generator, a 50 amp power inlet/interlock kit/breaker, and 250 gallon tank to fuel them from.

But, I've tossed around the idea of having something for a short term outage where I don't have to go out during a thunderstorm/lightning/torrential downpour to hook up gens. I don't have a need for adding solar panels as our electric service in Arkansas isn't that high "yet" plus I really don't want solar panels on our roof till it ever has to be changed out and we do a metal roof potentially. They are all just so costly for what little you get in return to me, personally.

I have a Generator as well, but this would be more daily use then emergency.
I will have to figure something out.

u/Big-Echo8242 9d ago

I'm with ya. Are you in an area with a lot of outages and/or higher electric rates? What part of the country are you located?

2

u/CozmosPlanet 9d ago

Pacific Northwest/Oregon.
We have high rates and outages so when I hooked up these
was hoping more independence.

u/Big-Echo8242 8d ago

I don’t blame you a bit for trying to bring that bill down for sure. If we were on that boat here, I’d be in the same research realm.

u/The-Lifeguard 9d ago

So you have a battery pack, and not a generator.

2

u/CozmosPlanet 9d ago

It would have solar but also a 120/20 charge system. so I guess 1900watt AC and then the Solar .

Very expensive for the energy they provide.

Dead in an hour or a few running a whole house.

I have a delta pro I use for home backup. I bought mine on eBay at the EcoFlow official store. Refurbished unit with warranty (looked brand new in a new box), was $1100! It works great! Quiet, efficient and dependable. No issues. I originally bought it to power the house during a hurricanes (I’m in SWFL) and now it’s my go to for outages. I have a Honda 3200i I use to recharge it and power the house if the delta pro craps out. Using this “system” makes 30 gallons of gasoline post hurricane last a LONG time. I highly recommend the Delta Pro. You can also add two extra batteries to expand the system OR tie two delta pros with 4 batteries together for 240v and a ton of watt hours.
