Please help me understand PV inputsI have one DPU. User manual says for High PV Input 80-450v - 15a Max -4000w Max.I ordered 6 400w panels. Each panel is ~13A, Optimum v = ~31v.If I understand correctly, if panels are wired in parallel, amperage is cumulated; in series, voltage is cumulated.With 6 panels at 400w each, total wattage is 2400w, well within the max.With 6 panels wired in series, I'm at 186v (31*6) and 13A, which is still within the max.With 6 panels wired in parallel, I'm at 31v and 78a, which is way over limit.So with one Delta Pro Ultra, I'm stuck with wiring them in series? I had hoped to do a series/parallel configuration to account for some shading. In another thread, PastorDon said Voltage is pushed, amperage/wattage is pulled. If the maximum draw from the house is 1500w, total amperage at 120v is 12.5a. Does that mean that I can still do a series/parallel configuration?Or am I confusing what comes out of the battery with what goes into the inverter?TIA

I live on 80 acres in the PNW. We tend to have heavy winds in winter. The powercan go out 3 or 5 days at a time. I can run house, fridge, hear on propane but not the small itemsI get my internet wirelessly from infinite internet as regular providers don't service my area.I bought the Delta 2 w/extra battery mainly to run that router and a TV as well as charge phone, pc, radio, and tablet and a table lamp. I charged the system fully so both screens showed 99 hours and 100 percent. Then I plugged in the router which is 12v DC at 2 amps which is 0.024 kw consumption. This was to test basic functionality and Guage how long I can expect to run thw router etc⁰my question is that after 4 hours the main unit shows 95 hours and 85% remaining and the extra battery shows 93 hours and 83 %.This usage seems high considering the power draw is only 0.024 kwIs this normal? I was hoping for at least 2 days but using 17% in 4 hours suggests that with other devices attached I won't lat a day...any help?Thanks in advance

Hi , new to ecoflow I live in New England and I have my batteries in my rv, can I leave them in the rv during nov and dec till I travel to warmer weather? I have the ecoflow 2 & a battery, the original ecoflow . I am not using them they are just being stored for now. Please advise Thank you Mena

I am on the grid and have a 5.6kW solar system with AC sent from all panels (all have micro-inverters) through a controller switch and on to either home use or to grid if over production. Combined output is 240VAC at 21amp.I want to add the necessary Eco product(s) to address two goals: 1) provide backup power for priority home circuits if/when the grid power goes out, and 2) connect a battery/controller system where the battery gets charged up daily from my solar over-production (i.e. sunny days) and then use the battery+grid at night for home use. What do I need for this set-up?

I have two banks of Ultra Pro inverters with 3 (6000KWH) - (18,000kwh) batteries each and two smart panels II to power my whole home. I would eventually like to go off grid in the future. I have no solar panel feeds at this point, but I assume at some point I will. My generator is hooked up at the Gen In on both panels but it is manual. Can Eco Flow Engineers provide an output signal (analog - 4-20 mA or digital - 5-30Vdc) when the batteries are at 10%. This output signal can be fed to a smart circuit to automatically turn on my generator. Likewise, when the batteries are charged at 95% the generator would shut down. I cannot understand why Eco Flow didn't give their flagship product the same option as their lower priced Delta product. Otherwise I am happy with the product, but it is frustrating that I have not found any help to solve this problem. Thank you to anyone that can help. I would be willing to pay for a solution.

I’m currently in the process of installing the SHP2. I noticed on the manual that there is a 20m (~65 ft) max distance requirement between the SHP2 and the battery connection box. My current layout will require the distance between the panel and battery connection box to be around 80 ft. Does anyone have any personal experience with a setup exceeding this distance requirement? What kind of issues will this cause if I exceed this requirement by 15 ft. Any insights will be great!

PROBLEMThe mobile app - despite being "compatible" with tablets, doesn't appear to scale for them properly.An iPad Mini looks fine. Don't use mobile phone but based on the UI I see, assume it works fine. But on a Samsung Galaxy A9, which is about as standard as you can get for a tablet in terms of size, everything is too blown up to be useful. Also, this is a landscape tablet, and apparently there was no desire to actually program a landscape interface as with the Ecobee and other truly "smart" devices.Photo attached as an example. There are eight devices; you can only see four of them. The only way around this is to tell the tablet to support 16:9 mode; then you get some rescaling buttons, but they don't work for each device's energy view, only the main "Space" page.Ultimately what's missing - and it's a simple thing - is to query the device for its resolution, then scale accordingly. That's what apparently has been done on Apple; have not yet tested with a regular iPad, but I will, because for the specific use case it fortunately doesn't matter if it's an iPad or an Android.QUESTIONDoes Ecoflow plan to actually modernize this app?Having a non-dark mode would also be nice - I know the "techie" folks love it, but it's hard on the eyes when your eyesight isn't the greatest trying to read small text.

We went for weeks without power post Hurricane Helene last year and since then I have been looking for a solution. We rarely lose power and then usually only for a few hours, but I want to be more prepared for longer outages. I only need to back up critical circuits. We are fine without HVAC or washer/dryer or even a stove. Necessities include the main refrigerator, a dorm fridge, 1/3hp sump pump, (which never actually runs, but I would want it powered just in case,) and the circulator for my natural gas boiler, (just in case we have an outage in winter.) Probably a TV, wifi, and a handful of lights, and that's about it, really. I have purchased two Delta Pros and the Double Voltage Hub to give me 240V and more output. I don't necessarily need 240V. I want to get a manual transfer switch for simplicity for my wife, and others. I know an interlock kit is less involved to install, but I like the simplicity of having my necessary circuits in a subpanel. But maybe I'm wrong about that idea. Also, I don't have any solar at the moment but think I will probably do a small array if only to charge/power the Delta Pros. I know I can't power much for days but I also have a small Honda 2000i gas genny that can be used to charge the Delta Pros, as well as an EV sitting in the driveway with a 65 kWh battery in it that offers vehicle to load @110V. So I have ways to charge if an outage goes on for a day or three. So, interlock kit or manual transfer switch? Can you recommend a transfer switch? I guess it's gonna be a 30amp? I might get by with 6 circuits as long as a couple of them are 20amp. Or I could go with a 10 circuit transfer switch. Can you charge the Delta Pros while they're powering devices in the house? What am I missing?

Ac inverters will not run if DP3 is unplugged from the wall socket.Brand new, received yesterday.Worked fine yesterday, used app to Turn off AC outlets before bed woke up this morning and inverters would no longer operate unless the unit was plugged into the AC wall current. Will not operate as A UPS.

Where are the Maximum Circuit Settings on the Smart Panel 2 app AFTER commissioning?

I want to add battery backup to my existing solar panel setup. Is the DELTA PRO ULTRA INVERTER plus backup battery plus the SMART PANEL 2 all i need to complete the battery storage installation.

Question: 4 200w Rich Panels in 2S2P, do I need a fuse in between the panels and the Power Kit Hub? If yes, what do you recommend?2S2P hits ~74 V at Vmp, ~87 V at Voc (cold conditions).Current stays manageable at ~22 A (under EcoFlow’s max).

We live in a rural area of Northern California. We have very hot, dry summers and severe wildfire hazard. We experience periodic power shutoffs throughout the year, but primarily during fire season. These shutoffs are typically 6-12 hours in duration. We currently own a 6500 Watt Generac gas powered generator that we use during shutoffs. With it we string power cords to 2 refrigerators, TV, router, lights. But we haven't the capacity (or connectibility) to power our (1 hp) water well pump or HVAC unit. We rely of electric power for our AC. The HVAC system uses propane for heat and electricity to power the fan that moves the heat. So, if the shut-off occurs during the 110 degree heat, (or a cold spell) it can be unbearable, and water is unavailale for domestic use or plant/lawn irrigation, or even fire suppression.We'd like to have a battery system that could be installed to power our entire house for up to a day. I think a manual switch would suffice for utilizing the battery power, so long as there's a way to determine when utility power is restored. Also, would like the ability to charge the battery during off-peak hours and then utilize the battery to power our home during peak power cost hours. Also, if necessary, we could utilize our generator to recharge the battery if power shut-off extended for multiple days. Don't care to clutter our yard or roof with solar panels. I recently got notice that our utility provider (Pacific Gas and Electric) is providing some rebates for battery backup power units. So, now might be an appropriate time to acquire a battery system. Looking for advice here, since I'm quite unfamiliar with the entire subject. Thanks in advance for any input!

Good evening everyone just thought we could start a thread on off grid use of the Delta 2 Max or any other Ecoflow product that you might be using off grid. I have a Delta 2 max with 2 extra batteries, that I use powering a freezer and window air conditioner. Running off solar panels it can provide 5 hours of air conditioning and indefinite power to the freezer.

I have one concern about long-term use of the app-controlled batteries. If the app is no longer supported by the company in the future or I do not have access to internet and or an appropriate device, or the company goes out of business, will my battery still run?

I work 12 hours a day 7 days a week and I would like to see some battery powered cooking appliances that I can bring with me to work like a slow cooker or pressure cooker so I can eat healthy meals and I can just start them cooking on one of my brakes so it could be done by lunch time I would like it just to be one unit or run off a battery that connects directly to it so it could be moved as one unit

I have been advised to do a 100% drawdown 3 times in a row and then a hard restart. This is in an effort to recalibrate my Delta Pro Ultra. I also understand discharging greater than 80% can lead to damage and longevity of my battery. Should I do the 100% drawdown 3 times?

What would be the best way to cascade power from:1) a Delta 2 Max to an older Delta 1260 ?or 2) a Delta Pro to the D2MThanks!

Has anyone used their Ecoflow Delta series power station to provide power to an amateur radio transceiver either at home or for portable operation?If so, did you use the 110 volt AC to power a power supply, or go 12 volt DC directly to the radio?Thanks for sharing your experience and advice.PaulTampa, Florida USA

Good day. I'm currently employing a Delta Pro Ultra with two batteries and 10 X 100 W (12v) panels. I am considering adding a windmill to supplement my solar stream. Will I encounter any unforeseen issues if I plug it in my solar input stream. Be well.
