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.
