I think the forum could have a dedicated post to frequently asked questions and how to troubleshoot. Some things I’m thinking of is how to recalibrate BMS? Can I use a main unit as an extra battery? How much power does my fridge use? Etc.Things we see basically every day on the fb boards.

As a midwesterner used to tornados and heavy storms but not hurricanes, I am about to head to North Carolina for most of September. Any advice from seasoned pros like those from Florida on how to prepare?

Glad to see EcoFlow starting up their own forums. You never know what can happen with Meta. Hooray!!!

When you click on the top right of the main screen under Earnings you now get a full view of your savings each month, and the bottom even shows you by device how much you have saved. It looks like my office D3+ with its own solar array has saved me $11 this year. My RV DP3 has saved me $26!

This week's solar production was severely hampered by haze from Canadian and western US wildfires rolling over the Midwest - I am in IllinoisIt is hard to see in the pics but I could visibly see the haze over neighboring fields and could almost look directly at the sun without it hurting my eyes… almost. This cannot possibly be good long-term

Hi, my name is Luke and I am an Ecoholic. It has been a day minutes since my last EcoFlow delivery. Well these solar panels aren’t from EcoFlow per se, but they are for my DPU and future EF devicesNow we are getting serious. Just under the wire to avoid future tariffs, and in time for me to install before the end of the calendar year to take advantage of the federal tax credit. This has been an expensive last four months. And the next few months will be very interesting.

During the 2025 Los Angeles wildfires, my home was under attack for the second time in recent times. Living right at the foothills of the mountains, I could see literal rings of fire creeping closer and closer. The entire neighborhood was powerless. Downed power lines. Pitch black. No traffic lights. It truly felt like pre-electricity times.My first concern was my fridge, trying to keep everything fresh. I didn’t know how long the outage would last, so I pulled out every EcoFlow power station I had at the time: Delta OG 1300, River Pro, River 2 Pro, River 3, and River 3 Plus.I knew my fridge couldn’t last long on a single power station, but evacuation orders were in. So I daisy chained a system together where one power station would charge up the next station. Yes, I’d incur a huge AC inefficiency loss, but I wouldn’t be there to swap out power stations.I chained them all up and hooked them to my fridge, then got the hell out of Dodge.Unfortunately, the outage lasted longer than all the valiant EcoFlows could manage. If they had lasted maybe another 10-12 hours or so, I think I would have made it. I had a chance to return home as evacuation warnings downgraded (but power still out), but it slipped my mind that my EV could recharge my EcoFlows, which I could have brought back to the fridge.Nevertheless, I was grateful for all my power stations. But it did kickstart me into the Delta Pro Ultra and Smart Home Panel 2 whole-home backup system. Now I’m prepared for the next emergency, as well as everyday electrical rates arbitrage.

A lesson in brutal shading: top array has 9 panels (380w each). Bottom array has 8 panels (380w each) but a tiny bit of shading dropped it to a mere 181 watts compared to 2,130 watts from the top array.I need to create a ground mount for the top array that angles it about 30 degrees to provide space so I can scoot the bottom array up a foot or so to escape the shade an extra couple of hours hopefully.The huge mismatch of solar generation makes my DPU stacks highly imbalanced every day.

What’s the highest amount of solar you’ve generated a day on your ecoflow?I’ll start. 34.67 kwh off a 5.82 kw system, 4kw mobile ground mount, 1.2kw portable solar, and 620w portable solar on a firewood shed.

After living in a condo for so long, missing out on the solar fun, I was ecstatic to finally have a home for panels. I quickly bought a bunch of DPUs and the SHP2 plus 17 new panels (380w per panel for $50 each) at a steal.Hooked them all up before the blazing 110-degree summer began in earnest. Now I'm generating between 25 to 35 kwh a day from solar. It's not quite enough for the whole day's usage (30 to 50 kwh), but it makes a big dent.I especially love watching each circuit on the SHP2 so I know exactly how much power each one is using in real-time. It's also great to be able to arbitrage peak electrical rates, shifting on-peak rates with partial-peak and off-peak rates.I just may need to get a couple more DPU batteries.

I'm try to decide which circuits to back up and power using my DP3. Do any of you have a recommendation for a device like Sense or Emporia for power monitoring at the main panel? I know there are certain circuits I really want to power, but there are others that are more optional. I just want to get a better idea of whether or not I should add them to it or not.

Just my daily PSA / thought that even though you are technically allowed to add grid tied battery with nem2, it’s much better to go off grid with DPU/SHP2 due to the way california interconnection agreement works with the big utilities called rule 21, where any generator needs to have an interconnection agreement unless you are using a BREAK before MAKE type of offgrid product. With shp2, it appears that an interconnection agreement change is not necessary according to their guideline since it’s break before make and you will not risk losing nem2 since you wont be changing any NEM.Again, i am just a home owner and not affliated with EF. Check with your local utility and AHJ for all interconnection related question as they have the final say.

I have a DP3 with extra battery and would like to use it for more things than I'm currently using for. 1) Is it possible to install a manual transfer switch with generator inlet (for a DP3 or DPU) to semi-permanently offload a couple circuits? 2) And since the circuit is disconnected from the main house, could I plug that in for backup charge to the offloaded circuit?

My name is Jason and I am a collector of all things Ecoflow. I started with a Delta Pro and the SHP1, and my collection has grown to include a whole home backup and multiple dedicated power stations that run my networking gear, RV, and ones that power nearly every device in my home. I’m big on energy independence and I wanted my home to be powered when the grid is down, but lately I’ve been really into my solar savings and seeing how much money I can save on my electricity bill.Glad to see Ecoflow has its own forums now, looking forward to discussing all things Ecoflow with you all

I have a pair of 100W panels hanging from my porch railing ready to provide power in an outage, however, chances are we'll have cloudy skies during an outage from the bad weather that caused it, I have set up a pair of EcoFlow 100AH batteries to store that power. The panels charge/top up the pair of batteries (connected in series), giving me 2KWH of stored power. I have set this up with a switch so that I can direct that stored power to an XT60 cable (to directly charge a Delta or River unit slowly), or to a 1200W pure sinewave inverter for quick charging when needed. I'll often use that free, stored, solar power for things around the house when needed, but it is good to know I have this relatively cheap supplemental power if needed in an outage.
