Ive Just completed my setup and wanted to share it here.I've diy mounted 5 panels to the south facing canopy over the front of my Victorian house in London. They are connected so a Stream Ultra x, hardwired into a fused spur off my consumer unit. I did the work myself and registered g98 with UKPN.So far it's been amazing. As it has been fairly sunny I find my battery can be filled up within a few hours, and our household tends to use about 5kwh per day so the battery slowly discharges through the night with just enough charge until the solar kicks im again.Im expecting a very different story in winter, but it will be interesting to see.Im on Octopus Agile so I've also got the option of charging the battery off cheap or negative energy too. Im hoping for many more negative days like today through winter! Ive also banked 5 free weekend hours so that will help when the prices rise.Getting the panels up to the canopy was a lot of effort, so I could go into the details later.Ive also ordered a Stream 5000 and I'll likely make that my main PV Battery with the Ultra X moved to the back garden.

So, nun habe ich ein Kabel vom Waschkeller zur Stream 5000 im Erdgeschoss gelegt und erst die Waschmaschine im off grid Modus laufen lassen und danach den Wäschetrockner. Und ja, die versprochenen 2500W im off grid kommen definitiv ohne, dass die Steckdose ausfällt. Anscheinend gibt es auch eine kleine Toleranz, denn die App zeigt beim Wäschetrockner 2.52kW an. Was mir in diesem Zusammenhang aufgefallen ist, ist der interne Lüfter der Stream. Der schaltet sich ab 2kW immermal an. Im Video klingt er viel lauter als er wirklich ist, aber ja, es ist etwas lauter als der Kompressor meines Kühlschranks. Aber es ist nur ein Test und im Normalfall soll die Stream die Waschmaschine und den Trockner im Keller ja nicht betreiben. Ansonsten habe ich die 5000 in den letzten 2 Tagen nicht gehört. Sie hat nicht einmal dieses leise Klicken, was mir bei den alten Streams immermal auffällt

Hi everyone, I’m new to the EcoFlow forum. I run a YouTube channel called Roots & Resilience, where I talk about practical resilience, producing more of what you need yourself, and generally becoming a bit less dependent on the system. I’ve been running a fairly substantial Victron solar and battery setup for some time, along with solar and a small wind turbine, but I’m now gradually starting to bring EcoFlow equipment into the setup and see where it takes me. I recently installed an EcoFlow microinverter with a couple of panels and I’ve now bought one of the new 5kW Stream units, so over time I’ll probably be moving more of the system across while keeping parts of the Victron setup as backup and redundancy. This latest video shows where I’m starting from, what I’m already running, and why I’m doing it. Energy Crisis Looming — Here’s How I’m Fighting Back https://youtu.be/mw6ZtSqnzow Looking forward to seeing what everyone else is running and picking up a few ideas along the way.

hello, my name is Tom and I’m gonna share a story of my Delta pro ultra three batteries home smart panel two how it allows me to live off the grid almost 24 seven I purchased my system back in October. We have had one of the most cold winners, brutal winners in the last 30 years. I had five outages between December and February . Never at one time did my Delta pro ultra how smart penalty system ever Skipped beat and allowed me to stay warm and safe throughout that three months. Now we are going into March and just last week we had tornado warnings and giant wind storms which cause Electric to be out for 24 hours. My system was up and running again

I really thought I was heading toward a simpler life, like downsizing and living alone. But life had other plans. When my grandkids started moving in, everything shifted. Suddenly it wasn’t just about me anymore, it became about all of us.EcoFlow was already a part of my life, but once the grandkids moved in, I started looking at it differently. I realized they needed their own units too. Yep these young ones love their video games and we all know that can run the electric bill up very quick. I also wanted to teach them how to take care of what we have and understand the value of EcoFlow. Yep, it’s bigger than just saving money. I’m getting the next generation in my family familiar with EcoFlow and how to use it, how to manage energy, and how to be prepared.We’re not just using EcoFlow; we’re growing with it. The Delta Pro Ultra will become an integral part of our daily lives, enabling us to live off the grid, if not entirelyIn a world that feels increasingly unpredictable, finding ways to reduce electricity costs and stay prepared gives me a sense of control and peace of mind. That means a lot to me.On a side note, I mentioned to my granddaughter that I was considering replacing her solar panel. She looked at me and asked, “How many watts is it?” That made my day.Share some of your ideas below 👇🏾

EcoFlow makes a difference in my home by helping me keep the essentials running when outages happen. My main priority is protecting the food first, so being able to run my fridge, freezer, and key kitchen appliances gives me real peace of mind. What I appreciate most is that it turns backup power into something practical. It helps me stay calm, protect what matters most, and keep my home functional when the grid is down. For me, that’s the real difference. It’s not just power. It’s control, comfort, and confidence when it matters most. What’s the first thing you’d want to keep running in an outage?#PowerDifferent #EcoFlow

My journey began with the EcoFlow Delta Pro and the original Smart Home Panel, and I’ve been very happy with them. They may no longer be at the forefront of my energy system as I’ve upgraded to the Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Home Panel 2, but they are still quite useful for portable power and stand ready to help if the situation calls upon them.I’ve added solar wherever I can to help cut costs, become more energy independent, and lessen the risks of power outages. First was a south-facing pergola to provide both shade and power to the Delta Pro Ultra. From there, I decided to build a solar fence using leftover panels from that project, and I’ve seen encouraging results—even through this winter.The Delta Pros and Ultras have been very reliable, and that reliability has given me the confidence to continue expanding my system. What started as backup power has grown into a more complete energy solution for my home. I’m looking forward to continuing to refine and expand it, adding more solar capacity and finding new ways to improve efficiency and resilience.

What started as a hobby has since evolved into a an Ecoholic lifestyle that is more than just adding EF gear to the collection. In addition to buying solar panels and power stations, I have also planted hundreds of trees and wildflowers (carbon sequestration and giving back to Mother Nature), constructed an all-electric home equipped with a geothermal system, incorporated energy-efficient appliances like a heat pump dryer and more efficient dehumidifier, and purchased an electric vehicle to stop purchasing a form of energy which I light on fire repeatedly. All of this EF gear helps me reduce the need for the power company which predominantly burns dino rocks and dino juice to generate its power. I’m also renovating a vintage camper so we can explore of national parks and other natural wonders across the US - a quest to get back to nature. My collection nearly every EcoFlows includes a mix of every DELTA Pro: OG, 3, Ultra, Ultra X, and hopefully more in the future. I have to save a lot of pennies to buy this stuff, but then all future power production from power stations and solar panels is free. There is no financial ROI on this stuff today (unless the power company triples the price of power), so I am paying to be green. This journey is about embracing sustainability to reduce emissions, minimize energy consumption, and maximize self-sufficiency while using the grid as a backup power source.

Thanks to EcoFlow, it was a successful winter skating on the nearby frozen pond. With my River 3 and Delta 2 powering the water pump, I was able to keep the ice surface nice and smooth. Bringing out the EcoFlow multi functional camping light allowed for working and playing long after sunset. Now with the ice melted and the weather warming up, I hope to finish a solar powered tool shed - until in 9 months, get back out on that ice again with EcoFlow!

In preparation for the hot weather, I just want to share my Ecoflow gear I use when I go out boondocking in the summer time. Last year I went on a camping trip spending a couple of days in the hot desert, and ending it with three days in the Eastern Sierra mountains. SoCal was in a middle of a heatwave, so I brought all my EcoFlow toys to make my RV comfortable by powering my 13,500btu air conditioner with no soft start all week long. I brought my original Delta Pro and one extra battery inside my truck connected to my Alternator Chargers. I have my Delta Pro 3 with two extra batteries as my main power supply for my trailer. And I have three LiTime 12.8v 280AH batteries wired in series with a 3k inverter. For those doing the math, that’s 30.1kWh worth of power. I used the DP3 as my main power supply because of it’s 4kw inverter. Since I don’t have a soft start, the LiTime batteries and it’s 3kw inverter wouldn’t be able to handle the surge. So I would just plug the DP3 straight into my inverter to replenish as needed. I run my EF SG4000 during the day when solar isn’t keeping up. And finally I use my original DP in my truck to power my Starlink Gen3 and also quietly power dump to my batteries in my trailer during the night as needed. Now some may think it’s overkill, but I think it’s perfect. I ran my air conditioner and stayed comfortable using electricity with impunity. All my EcoFlow products ran perfectly making my spontaneous weeklong camping trip comfortable.

Storms, hurricanes, wildfires, and unexpected outages can happen when we least expect them. When the lights go out, having reliable backup power can make all the difference.💬 If you could only keep THREE things powered during a blackout, what would they be?Would you choose:🏠 Your refrigerator to save food?📱 Your phone to stay connected?💊 Medical equipment for peace of mind?🌐 Your Wi-Fi router to keep working?❄️ A fan or portable AC during extreme heat?🐶 Something for your pets?…or something else?We'd love to hear:⚡ Your top 3 must-power items⚡ Which EcoFlow products, if any, have helped you during outages or emergencies⚡ Any blackout tips or lessons you've learned that could help others prepareWhether you've experienced a hurricane, winter storm, wildfire, or a simple neighborhood outage, your story could help someone else get ready before the next one.👇 Share your experience in the comments!🎁 Rewards: Every valid comment will receive EcoCredits, and we'll feature some of our favorite preparedness tips in a future community roundup.Let's stay safe, stay prepared, and power through—together. 💙
