SHP10 Newbie Impressions
I am lucky and was selected as a beta tester for the SHP10 / Titan Plus and I want to thank the EcoFlow team for this opportunity!I have never used a smart panel before, and the manual was for installation, so figuring out things was very frustrating for me (the manual has since been released). I was also using the beta App, as I was instructed, so the regular app may produce different results.The SHP has, nominally, 10 circuits, although the first 2 are set up for an electric dryer, which I chose not to have hooked up. My mini split took up circuits 3&4, with the rest taken by pellet stoves, refrigerator and various lights. 1st, I'd like to say, for every simulated outage I tried, by flipping my main breaker switch, the entire system worked flawlessly in providing power to my selected circuits. That performance was rock solid and impressive for those of us who have only used an MTS, or stations at POU.Setting up the circuit priorities was easy, and priorities could be changed on the fly. Non-priority circuits are not turned on during power outages, but they can be switched on thru the app. I could also tell how much power was being pulled by each circuit and see real time changes as I turned things on/off.I could not use Self-Powered and Intelligent Modes as the SHP needs to detect solar for those to work. I was able to set up Scheduled Tasks to charge during the afternoon (when my grid-tied solar has max production), then discharge in early morning hours. The charging always worked, although a couple of times it did ignore my set input wattage (I tried 1,000w and 600w so as not to pull more than my grid-tied solar produced). This may be due to having Storm Guard on, but it didn't tell me it was activated.Discharge tasks always worked, but at times immediately deactivated by the system. There is a 150w required pull that may be addressed in future FW updates.Flawless backup performance, with some hiccups that should be addressed in future updates.
