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 👇🏾

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.

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!

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.

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.

I dragged my DPU-X up to my second story office for this photoshoot. Okay, it's not directly powering my office devices (that's what my Delta 3 Air 1000 is doing, hidden behind the DPU-X).But I love how my entire whole home backup powers 95% of my home. Using 8 DPU batteries and 2 DPUs attached to my SHP2, all my major home circuits are powered by EcoFlow. If the SHP2 had space for a few more breakers, it would have been 100%.

I am semi-retired and now write for a site that covers the lithium industry, mining, and recycling. As long as I have a cell connection, I can work, so I lead a mostly nomadic life and have built a Cadillac Escalade as a camper. For the last two years, I have been using an older Bluetti with a 100-watt solar panel. It was kind of fine; it allowed me to keep things charged and run my 30L 12-volt fridge. But this winter, I was tired of the capacity angst and upgraded to a Delta 3 Plus with two more 100-watt panels.Typical 24 hours:Echo, tablets, phone, lights: 200WhFridge: 250Wh. On this, it is an old Indel B, and while working, the thermistor seems to fail every six months, but it works for now.Fan: I run this when it is warm for about 12 hours, 150WhBlanket: I run this when it is cold, 200-300WhTwo panels in parallel or series depending on my location and one panel just by itself, connected to the Delta 3 Plus with a 2 foot 10awg MC4 to XT60I cable.I end up around 30% by the time solar kicks in, which I average around 250W i have seen around 290 on high altitude cloud days with two of the panels in series, and get fully charged back up in no more than five hours, averaging four. I stayed with the smaller 100 watt panels since I can toss on the roof when traveling and no problem pulling them back off to layout around the camp. I was limited to about half that, or even a quarter, when it was cloudy and would struggle to keep the fridge running with the old system. And after a month using the Delta 3 Plus, I mostly set and forget it now.What I need to look into is adding more capacity and another panel so I can do more induction cooking, and a new fridge.

My good friend used AI to make this from a photo of my EcoFlow set up. I love this picture and I LOVE MY ECOFLOW setup. Over the last 18 months we have definitely learned to #PowerDifferent. We use the (3) Delta Pro Ultras (each w/ 5 batteries) and the Smart Home Panel 2 to power our whole home. Now Ecoflow has even better products for this application. I look forward to upgrading! We have 12.3kW of solar that feeds the DPUs and allows us to run off grid a majority of the time. In 2025 we were off grid for 200 days w/ 78.7% of our consumption coming from solar. In Sept of 2025 we added 25% more solar panels. So far this year we are at 87.6% energy independent (that includes 2 months of winter). We don't have many power outages, but with the EcoFlow we don't deal with the dirty power and brown outs that are an everyday reality here and are bad for electronics. Running our house on EcoFlow, we know we have clean, consistent, and reliable energy. These EcoFlow products are saving us money, protecting our stuff, and preparing us for the unknown. Dare to be different! #EcoFlow

I started my power journey as a way to extend my camping trips. My first foray was a 300W/286Wh power station to charge my phones and electronics. EcoFlow has surpassed anything I thought possible just a few years ago. From working in the park to unexpected power outages and dead alternators, EcoFlow has been there for me.Now, with all that's happening around us, I'm ready to be independent. As I look towards being a first time home buyer, I'm looking at ways to save money while keeping the environment in mind. I would love to have that peace of mind that comes with being fully self-sufficient. #PowerDifferent

Just in case someone was curious, the Delta 3 Classic fits perfectly inside the Delta 3 Series Bag.

Currently have the Delta Pro Ultra with 3 batteries, Delta 2, Delta 2 max and an extra battery. DPU is wired to my house and has been a life saver for power outages. Will be adding more solar eventually but currently have enough to get me through outages. The Delta 2 and the Delta 2 max are mainly used for my bbq setup for Sunday football games. Love the Ecoflow products and will be a customer for life!

And we're back! It's been a couple of days and I've managed to successfully complete the surprise home energy system upgrade for my parents.We’ve now got the EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra X system set up with four extra batteries, Smart Home Panel 3 installed with all the circuits marked out for easy visibility, and some solar panels securely placed outside and connected for free solar energy generation. We're even all linked up with the EcoFlow app so they have fast and easy access to all their energy info.Now they can:-see exactly how and where they’re using energy-store power and use it when and where it makes sense-avoid stress about outagesBut to be totally honest, the best part of this entire process was the look on their faces when they saw what I'd done. Initially they were worried it'd be too confusing for them to figure out but after about two minutes of explaining and showing them everything, they had it all figured out.So now—less worrying about bills. Less guesswork when it comes to electricity usage and pricing. More control and more peace of mind for them and for me. What a difference!And I even added a little upgrade for my ride as well (just couldn't resist). 👍Check out the video to see how it went, and be sure to stay tuned to my YouTube channel to see the full video soon!

If you know me, I'm a bit of a prepper who likes redundancy for when things hit the fan. I live in California, and the fear of earthquakes and the eventual "big one" is always on my mind. How else can I prepare for a prolonged outage? I've got rooftop that won't work when the grid is down.... booo! So had to buy other panels, rigid and portable, for a second non-grid tied array. I've got a dual fuel generator with multiple propane tanks, for those extra long outages. Also have a couple LFP batteries plugged into an alternator charger. Now my newest way to charge up! Courtesy of my wife's new Ioniq 9, vehicle to load. I tried it today and was able to get 800w into my Delta 3+ that was recently used for a planned outage. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest solution for charging up during an emergency or outage. Diversify your charging capabilities for those future emergencies!

There’s so many things I love about all the EcoFlow products I have but this post is not about that. I’m not sure if it’s because of the great affinity I have for the brand but with this “collection” it’s becoming more and more apparent that I don’t like to get rid of my empty EcoFlow boxes 😊

Once the sun angle in the frozen north makes it viable to recharge my stations with solar panels on a regular basis, I use my stations a lot for running household items. Last week I was recharging a Delta 3 Plus and Delta 3 Max Plus on a partly sunny day. Because of the conditions, I was unsure if they would get charged all the way. The rigid panels I have on my shed are 320w each. Each panel is run with its own wiring to its own connectors. That means I can I can use the panels however I like, depending on what station(s) I am charging; run individually, some in series or some in parallel. In this case, each of the stations had 1 panel hooked into each of the PV inputs (both stations have 2 inputs). So, each station had the possibility of getting 640w input in perfect weather conditions. However, with the cloudiness, much of the time they were only getting 130w-200w total.Shortly before 3 pm, I looked on my app and some some outstanding numbers. Over 700w were going into both stations!!! Now, this was a short term effect, when the sun had broken thru the clouds, but it was awesome to catch. The overproduction of the panels was caused by several factors; colder air temperature at 40*F, there was a fresh snow fall to create some reflection, and the "edge effect" from the sun interacting with the clouds (this was probably the biggest factor). Can't complain with an 18% overage of production from the panels, and it certainly helped get the stations fully charged that day.

As one of the longest standing user of the smart home panel 2, I have one of the first installation of smart home panel 2 in North America. Over the last three years I’ve learned a lot about it with various tips and tricks and I can’t wait to share them with you!Ask me anything about the smart home panel 2 or SHP2!

Hi all, Not sure what I’m supposed to do here, but if it’s just about telling a story about how the ecoflow products has helped me in my life here it is.Well to begin, I started my journey down the ecoflow family of products because they were the easiest for me to figure out and setup, so I started my CamperVan setup with the ecoflow in mind. Also because I am homeless Veteran and needed to figure out how to live in my car and be able to continue to enjoy my video gaming hobbies. In July of 2023 I moved into my Honda Fit 2008 in order to make an attempt to move to south Carolina, from Maine. I lived there for about three months in my car in the sweltering heat and almost died of heat stroke haha. I only had the Delta 2 to work with at the time. Good enough for my phone and tablet games, but sadly the job I was relying on to hopefully buy a cheap home in the area; screwed me over, so I had to return to maine.But this was a blessing in disguise, because when I returned I got lucky and managed to get a better job as a school bus driver in Springfield ma; in February 2025, and continued to live in my Honda for a year; until August when I was able to save enough to upgrade to a Ram Pro Master 3500, and convert it into a CamperVan that took me 4 months to complete. I got the Delta Pro Ultra with 2 batteries, and incorporated it in my design. I could use more, but that's all I can afford, but it works good enough for me, for now.I will add all the pictures this post will allow to show what the process looked like. So now I live in my van, still homeless, but definitely more enjoyable than my Honda lol. Alright that's about all I can fit here for this story, as there's not enough space here to be more elaborate. Thanks and enjoy all, also thank you EcoFlow for your products as they were and still are a lifesaver for me, and I hope to continue to grow and expand with your brand, hopefully when I'm able to get a piece of land of my own. Until then, much Love & Peace. MP

And we're back! We've gone through all the install, remake process, and done the big reveal. Now, the room is ready for anything! 🔋 The DELTA Pro Ultra X has passed the blackout test, keeping the kids room fully powered through any interruptions. No more worrying about electricity consumption—this system supports the entire room (with a ton to spare), ensuring the kids are always cozy and parents are stress-free. 🌱 And best of all, the energy is sustainable, making everyone happy—adults and kids alike! 🥳Check out the full video to see how everything turned out!

I took some photos to try and show the feeling I get from having my EcoFlow Delta 2. I absolutely love this power station. It’s reliable, fast-charging, and powerful enough to run most essentials during power outages. I’ve been so impressed by my Delta 2 that I’m now hoping to soon add it’s big brother the Delta 3 Max to my power station family for more capacity, higher output, and even better solar performance
