What I like about using EcoFlow for home backup is how simple it is. No installation, no fuel, no maintenance schedule. When the power goes out, you’re not figuring things out—you already know what to do. Plug in what matters and move on. It’s not about powering everything, just making sure the important stuff keeps working. That alone makes outages a lot easier to deal with.

Hey all, just wondering how many solar panels and of what watt rating to hook up to the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra 12kWh unit?

This may be of more interest during a major storm to some. But it may be of interest to others here, just because of all the talk of power outages. I'm sure many here know about this already. But for those that are not aware; there is a national power outage map. It breaks down outages state by state, county by county, and power company by power company. Here's the link for those interested. https://poweroutage.us/

#StormpreppingEF.. While I had a horrible winter this yr and my DPU 3 batteries , SHP2 and solar panels saved me this yr I can take a step back to 2012 before anyone had solar and revisit one of the worst storms I have ever lived through.July 22 2012 Tropical storm was created and started its journey to the Atlantic ocean. https://youtu.be/GhOo_rmMybI?si=IuxFER95HDg-FHdJOn July 28 Evacs and prep was in full force for my entire area of southern jersey. Before I was born the March Hurricane of 1962 was the last greatest Hurricane. I devastated the seafood beds, Wrecked boating companies and actually took 11 blocks of land back into the sea from an adjacent town called Longport which to this day has never come back. On July 28 By 11pm all emergency response teams were called off the streets due to win and power lines coming down Prepping back when wasn't solar panels ,or portable solar generators. It was gas generators which were cleared out of stores week before. Thank god I got one. We packed 4 large coolers of ice and water. Stocked house up with buckets of water to flush, tones of flashlights and batteries . Lots of can food and propane to cook on grills. We went without electric for 9 days after Sandy and we go lucky. The storm was a direct hit 20 miles north of me on the beach town called Brigantine. Tornados ,winds,floodng ,storm surge got us on the down side of the storm, but we got lucky

Yesterday evening (5/5/2026), I was feeding the cats their dinner of canned food and the lights flickered. Then there was a distinct power out for a couple of seconds. Then another flicker, then everything went totally out. I grabbed an EF camping light off the shelf about 3 steps away and used that while feeding the cats. When I opened the fridge to place the remainder of the can in there, the fridge's interior light startled me for a second. Oh yeah, I've been running the fridge off of solar charged power stations for the last couple of weeks. Of course it is still running. Then I checked my town's FB page and found that there was a wide area outage that affected my town, surrounding towns, and towns up to 15 miles away. I also noticed that I still had wifi. Well, that makes sense becuase I also run my computer/modem/router off of solar charged battery stations this time of year.I sat on the couch with the camping light on the coffee table scrolliing thru all the outage reports. I was just waiting to see a couple of things:1) How long the outage would be2) The reason for the outageIf the outage would be a while, I would either turn on a DP and set up my MTS to supply a few lights (turning off the breaker box of course), or grab the Bazooka light and use it. But, after 7 minutes, the power came back on in my area, so I was all set. The cause was several transformers blowing along the town's main street (and starting a brush fire to add insult to injury). Those closer to the transformers were out for longer that I was - the estimate was for up to 3.5 hours for them, although it turned out to be closer to 1.5 hours. This was the first time I've experienced a power outage over about 30 seconds since I've been collecting EF stations. It was interesting that I was so matter of fact about it - I didn't even hesitate about grabbing the camping light. No ROI needed - can't beat that peace of mind!

Got an email from my energy company telling me the new hours for non peak are 1am until 6am.We have been postphoning our major stuff until the non peak hours kicked in. For me I'm sleeping at 1am. How many more has a crazy non peak hour setup like this. They went on to say they are giving back a rebate of $9,000.00 for solar panels and home backup system. Catch is you have to use certain companies to buy your system from and installers. EcoFlow is not one of them. I think I smell some rotten fish.

Power outages are no longer rare events—they’re becoming part of everyday life. Whether caused by storms, grid instability, or unexpected failures, losing electricity at home can disrupt everything from food storage to communication and security. That’s where EcoFlow solutions stand out.EcoFlow portable power stations and home backup systems offer a practical, modern alternative to traditional generators. With fast charging, quiet operation, and zero emissions, they provide immediate and reliable energy when the grid goes down. Unlike fuel-based systems, there’s no need to worry about gasoline storage or fumes—just plug in and power your essentials.One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. EcoFlow systems can run critical appliances such as refrigerators, routers, lights, and even medical devices. With expandable battery capacity and solar compatibility, users can extend runtime and maintain independence during prolonged outages.Installation is straightforward, especially with plug-and-play designs that don’t require complex setup. For those looking for a more permanent solution, EcoFlow also offers whole-home backup integration options that seamlessly switch power sources when needed.In short, EcoFlow provides peace of mind. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about being prepared, protecting your home, and maintaining normal life even when the unexpected happens.

I would feel so much better having this around the pool… smart, clean, and just makes sense. Why not?

I would love this in my garden. Why not? 🌻

When the power goes out, it really comes down to a short list. Fridge, sump pump, internet, a couple lights—that’s enough to keep things under control. It’s not about running the whole house, just keeping the important stuff going so things don’t turn into a bigger problem. Once you’ve got those covered, everything else feels a lot less urgent.

In my quest for 15, I have added four more Delta Pro Ultra batteries, bringing an overall total of 12 DPU batteries (73.68kWh). By the way, six of these are DPUX batteries and other than an initial firmware update, I cannot tell one from the originals besides the price and S/N. I’ll probably finish the final three by Christmas.

Imagine this… an all-in-one EcoFlow device that not only powers your essentials but also keeps your air clean.I’m talking about: • a true HEPA air purifier for cleaner air anywhere • a built-in power station for your devices • wireless charging right on top • emergency LED lights at the bottom for outages • all in one sleek, portable EcoFlow designSomething you can use at home, bring on RV trips, or rely on during emergencies.Because let’s be real… clean air + backup power in one device? That’s next level.So… grab or no grab? 👀#IWishEcoFlowMadeThis #EcoFlow #YogisVision #CleanAir #PowerStation #RVLife #VanLifeEssentials #EmergencyReady #TechInnovation

Pretty good Solar production for today. 32.99kWh for EcoFlow, and 49.2kWh for the Enphase side, totaling 82.19kWh. I ran my home, and charged my EV to 80%, and only pulled 500Wh from the grid all day. 😎

Anyone else feel the categories are too limiting on the forum? Often times, I want to post something, but there are no relevant categories. Ask Me Anything has product line specific subcategories. Moments with Energy seems more geared to use cases, which isn't totally clear how that's different than a specific product line under Ask Me Anything.What if we have more general questions or ideas? Some products like the TRAIL series or Smart Generators or solar panels don't have a clear place to go either.Even this post here doesn't have a clear categorization that fits the existing post categories.

We had a power outage this morning and my echo flow Delta 3 Pro was able to power our wave 3, tv, console, and was able to brew us cups of coffee while keeping us cool and comfortable.

As we come out of the Winter storms that blasted the us, we now head into the Tornados /rain that rip the central part of the USA. In one month, Hurricane season starts for the country. Just curious what you all do to have yourself prepared. Here is a little story of my journey to be prepared for storms and having back up power. Hope you Enjoy.I’ve been #StormPrepping for almost my entire life. At 18, I joined the volunteer fire department in my hometown, following in the footsteps of my great-grandfather, grandfather, and uncles. . I knew I wanted to be just like them. Military service ran in the family, too—from the Civil War and WWI through Vietnam. Not one of them was forced to join; they were all volunteers. They are my true heroes. Growing up, our power outages never lasted more than a couple of hours. If it happened in the winter, we’d put sleeping bags down by the fireplace and use kerosene heaters. Storm prepping was in my blood from the start. Fast forward 20 years: I had three small kids when Hurricane Sandy hit Southern NJ. We had no electricity for 10 days, seven of which were hit with extreme heat.. We had to drive 30 miles inland just for fuel because local stations had no power to pump. Our generator wasn't large enough to keep the fridge and lights on simultaneously. Then came 2020. When the world stopped, I knew I needed a real energy backup plan. If the world could stop, so could the grid. I started my solar journey with a small 1800W portable power station. I started with a 5kW grid-tied solar system, but at $18,000—plus another $15,000 for batteries—I couldn't afford both. I kept wondering why companies like Anker didn't make a backup system that worked with existing grid solar. I started teaching myself via YouTube: calculating voltages, amps, and panel angles. Then in oct of 24 I added the Delta Pro Ultra with 4 batteries and the SHP2. Now I live off the grid and can charge my DPU with those other power stations if need.

Using my drone to check on my roof panels to see if there are bird droppings or cracks. It’s a good idea to always check the equipment, especially since spring is in full swing and summer is on its way.

Been thinking about two different ways to handle home backup with EcoFlow. You can go with one big unit tied into the house, or run a few smaller units spread out where you actually need power—kitchen, office, etc. I kind of like the idea of multiple smaller ones. No cords running all over the place, and everything is right where you need it. Feels more flexible. But I can see the appeal of one big system too—just set it and forget it.Curious what others prefer 👍
