Can the Delta 2 run a Ryobi 1800 PSI pressure washer
มุมมอง 2033 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today we are testing the ecoflow delta 2 paired with a ryobi 1800 PSI pressure washer. We had a 400 watt array connected so we were charging slowly off solar while pressure washing. If you have any questions or other tests you want us running please let us know! Leave a like if you enjoyed and subscribe for future content. #solarenergy #diysolar #energyindependence

Ecoflow Delta Pro welding test! Solar welding
มุมมอง 4715 หลายเดือนก่อน
Can an Ecoflow Delta Pro weld?? We charged up our Ecoflow Delta pro with solar and tried out welding with a TITANIUM Easy-Flux 125 Amp Welder. To our surprise it handled the welder very well and we almost squeezed everything out of this welder that we could. We charged the Ecoflow delta pro using my 1500 watt bifacial solar array during the day and did our testing in the afternoon. Drop a like ...

Those bi-facials should be up on their edge, both faces toward East & West with nothing blocking the sunlight blocking its faces. (Early charging am & late pm) when the 90° to solar noon isn't getting anything early am & late pm. Solar noon, very little until the sun passes solar noon. Extends charging earlier & later in the day.
@@MNpolarbear which side would you recommend facing east? The main side or the back?
You should put the bifacial at the top. The standard is 5 ft above the ground to get most out of the rear reflection output
Oh really 5 foot? I was worried it would be too high and start losing gain. Ill have to go out there and measure and see with how tilted it is now, on what height the top panel starts and ends at. Thanks for the tip!
Great video . I’ve been getting the 100 watt eco worthy panels during the Christmas sale. I was on the fence about getting the 195 watt panels. I think they just went back on sale, so I’m gonna take another look. Have a good one.
I love my 100 watt bifacials from eco-worthy, last ebay sale i think it was $88 for 2 before tax. Tempted to build my brother a 400 watt array he could keep in his garage for emergencies. I appreciate the comment! Have a great day
I have 8 Eco-Worthy 100w panels. 4 standard 4 bi-facial. On a cold bright sunny day 38 degrees I calculated 885 watts twice. The sun is very low here in Oregon and I only get about 2 hours of full sun. I think they could put out over 900w when the sun gets higher. Very pleased with the panels. Thanks for the video.
I really like my 15 bifacial 100 watt panels, they power my Ecoflow delta pro
Excellent setup 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
How long does the installation take?
If I remember correctly it was less than 2 hours for us
I just got the delta 3 plus and im 100% trying this out for car washes.
I got a delta 3 plus recently myself. Love the extra solar input compared to the delta 2
@rnkustomz I finished the alternator install for my Lexus. It's legit. I hope it lasts longer than the car honestly.
I have 8 100w Eco-Worthy panels one cold day at noon they were producing 885 watts. 4 standard 4 bi-facials.
Thought I would put my 2 cents in. I have 8 100w Eco-Worthy panels 4 standard 4 bi-facial. On a cold 38 degree noontime I calculated 885 watts output twice. I have aluminum foil behind the bi-facial. I live at 4300' in the Cascades so thin atmosphere. Thanks for the video. Thumbs up and subscribed.
@@lapinebob I have been thinking about trying to add a reflective base under my bifacials. Would be nice to squeeze every watt out of them I can for sure. Thanks for the support!
I have the XT60i Cable to MC4 Connections to 4 Eco Worthy BiFacial 100 watt solar panels and now a Set of 2 to 1 Parallel Connections to go 2S2P into My New Delta 2 - Thank You for Posting this Video
I was Afraid I was Gonna Smoke this Brand New Eco Flow with 4 in Series... 🔥 💨 💨 🛸
How do I need to Wire 4 Eco Worthy 100 Watt BiFacial Solar Panels for My Eco Flow Delta 2 to Work - so far only 3 work in Series, do I need to 2S2P wire them for max Acceptable Solar Input ?
I have a video showcasing 4 100 watt panels on my channel.
How long does that 50w panel take to charge a delta2. Roughly.
@@modestadventurers in absolutely perfect conditions it would need 20 hours of pure sunlight. But realistically if it's a nice sunny day and you keep moving the panel to face directly at the sun, I'd say I get 40-44 watts out of this panel on average. Plus you have to consider inverter loss and all that other stuff. I had a 600 watt array on the delta 2, and that would net me closer to 450 or so watts input. 3 series 3 parallel with 100 watt panels.
Have you had any wind since this was uploaded? How did it go?
@@stangchad believe we had some 40mph gusts within the last month or so. So far it's holding up. But only having 1 panel on it doesn't give me the full strength test so keep that in mind.
Updates?
@@KODIAKJAYMZ so far it’s still tracking for us, cloudy days it does struggle a bit but that’s to be expected
Nobody use this kind of batteries now a days. Everyone is using the echoflow type of solar generator. It is just way better to connect the sensor and curator with a solar generator. Ecoworthy needs to update their setup. It should be easy.
People loves the easiness and safety of using solar generator.
Do u have facebook?
@@Dave-xr9bc I have a personal Facebook but not one for the RNKustomz page
What is the tilt angle of the axis? I mean the angle between the axis and the horizontal ground.
How stiff is that linear actuator? Could you buy it is a fixed mount basically and never run the tracking?
I tried spinning it a bit and the actuator seemed very sturdy. No promises that would work, but in my experience it held under my decent amount of force.
cool setup
What size drill bit do I need for this to mount to cement
how easy is it to change the angle due to change in season? I guess you haven't had it long enough to go through that but based on setup how do you think it will go? The dual axis is very cool but a bit out of my price range since the sun is only really full strength for about 6 hours on my property.
@@TheFutureisTheFuture just changed it yesterday, I unhooked the battery so it wouldn’t move while adjusting, wasn’t hard to adjust at all
@@rnkustomz great. Seems like it might be awkward from the weight of the solar panels. I guess not... Great 👍🏻
@@TheFutureisTheFuture to be fair I only have 1 panel mounted currently, so with a full set of panels I’m sure the difficulty would increase. Always good to have a buddy on standby haha
do you need to parallel at all. can't you just series all 4 panels together?
The Delta 2 has a voltage limit of 60 volts. So if you series 4 panels at 20v each, you are going to fry your unit. 20x4 = 80 volts
Thanks
Will the tracker go fully east to west or only one way. I would like to see it go 180deg.
It tilts just as far east as it does west, my time lapse was started later in the day.
Looked easy peasy. Thanks for sharing.
they can build a low profile lay flat almost on the ground model. but the larger equipment to raise it would make it cost too much. they think you will just keep buying this model everything wind destroys itself.
*Due to the extreme price drops in the solar sector, it is much cheaper to simply install more modules instead of a tracker!* Trackers also have outdoor mechanics & electronics and are therefore maintenance-intensive and prone to repair. Solar modules and racks, on the other hand, generally function maintenance-free for 25 to 30 years!
@@michaelvanallen6400 all situations are different, for someone with extremely limited space a tracker can be necessary. Thanks for the comment.
Put the SOB together man
Well explained video . Awesome!!!
Thinking of getting this tracker for my panels. They do really well in midday sun and I think the single axis will improve solar input for a few more hours during the day. I am curious what the height of the pole is and would appreciate your answer?
Just under 51 inches
littt
I’m impressed. Seems like a nice little pressure washer
You won’t be able to accept 15A in this configuration, the EcoFlow will only accept 8A by default which you can reduce in the app (not that you would). If you want to lift this limit up to the 15A it can handle, you need to use an XT60i connector and either buy one or make one with the sensing pin shorted to the negative side (the rounded side) of the connector. If that pin is shorted to the positive side, or it’s not connected or just doesn’t exist like on your plain XT60 connector, the EcoFlow thinks it’s a cigarette lighter charger for a car and to not pop the fuse, the 8 amp or lower limit is imposed.
lol i was gna say that too
I swear I read somewhere that the xt60 only affected input current from a cigarette outlet of a car and things like that. I’ll order an xt60 I version and see if my input increases, I typically get 340 watts out of this array.
@@rnkustomz To be conservative the Delta assumes everything you plug in is a car charger unless you tell it otherwise by shorting a sensing pin to negative. You can test this by lowering the "Car input" to 4A in the app and watching your power levels go down. As you're feeding the Delta with 49V, with your 400w setup you're probably not seeing the current limit anyway. If you had a perfect 400w output from the panels, at 49v that's 8.16A and you'd just barely get limited.
I ordered some xt60i’s today as im gonna add another 2 panels in parallel to make 6 total. Thanks for the helpful information! I’m still learning all this stuff.
Good practical example for stuff many of us will eventually dive into.
Thanks man!
Going to set everything up this weekend.
@@DT-ww4gv Let me know if you run into any issues and ill do my best to assist! Thanks
Just bought one this makes me want to go set it up!!! I have been looking for the best location void of trees kinda hard in the country
That’s where I was struggling too. My yard has some tall trees and this was the second best spot, the best spot would have been about 300 feet away from my house and I didn’t want to pay the cabling bill for that far lol
Nice video, greetings from Jamaica.
@@lawrencedavidson6195 thanks for the comment! Glad to see you here
How thick is the concrete?
This concrete is 4 inches approximately. It’s an older pour on the property.
@rnkustomz thanks for letting me know I'm thinking of ordering one and wanted to know how thick to make the concrete
@@The831Z I’d go a bit deeper than 4 personally, especially if you are in a cold climate.
@rnkustomz California. I get no real cold weather but thanks ill go deeper. It better to go deeper just in case. Thanks
May I know what is the biggest size and weight will it hold?
Great video. Thanks for sharing 👍🏽 Gives me an idea to build me a ground mount. New sub.
@@zoshomestead I see you have some chicken content! I’m subscribing. I need to get chickens again haha
Oooooh. I’m going to have to snag one of these. Super slick
Nice video! Your clear instructions and detailed review made the installation process seem so much more approachable. Loved the hands-on approach and insights. Keep up the great work!
I have two of the dual axis trackers. Do you know if that updated controller will be available separately? I like how the display has a description of what’s going on vs mine which just as a timer and two letter codes.
@@aflipzkidn haven't heard anything on an updated display for the dual axis version, but I haven't looked into it at all either honestly. Thing controller wouldn't direct swap as their isn't a second input for another actuator.
@@rnkustomz cool thanks for letting me know.
Awesome Video, curious how much this will improve the output of the panels.
Soo jealous you got one of those!
Great video brother! Love to see the posts. Hope to see more strong farms this harvest!
I will do my best!
Ooooooh, can’t wait to see the results!!!!!!!!!!!
I'm new to the solar community and have a question about voltage. For the Delta 2, there's a maximum voltage input of 60 but according to the specs, it's maximum wattage of 500. If you wired up 5 of those exact panels, would it be too much for your brother's Delta 2 because of the added up voltage? Do you add up the VOC or the VMP?
@@TenTenorioArt you have to take both into consideration, but going over on volts is dangerous, going over on amps shouldn’t pose a threat to your unit. Technically the delta 2 should have over volt protection but I’ve always heard not to trust it and be careful. You can go over amps and it shouldn’t be a problem, the unit is good at limiting at the rated number. That’s the reason I did 2 series 2 parellel. It can be very difficult to max the delta 2, and that’s why I just gave up and settled on 4 panels haha
I'm considering just getting a single 400 watt portable panel. So many issues and I'm not an electrician or engineer.
@@TenTenorioArt as long as it fits the input specs it’s not a bad idea. Also if you live in a cold climate you want to stay 15% or so below the volt limit
@@rnkustomz I feel like I'm learning a lot, so thank you!
I just bought the same set up. Delta 2 and 4 100 panels. Can you do a video on the exact wiring and actually plugging it in to the Delta 2. Thanks for this video. I like the mobility
Great video. Did you have to get the permit before installing those DIY solar arrays? I am planning to do it but wonder if it needed a permit prior to do those ground mounted solar arrays. Thanks.
@@kajavaid obviously every county/city is different. Since mine are not mounted to the ground, and are mobile, I didnt need a permit in my area, and all my electrical is off grid.
Nice set up, creative, with wheels.
Found you through Facebook Solar DIY. This is great. It has my gears going on similar setup with Delta Pros for my house over here in IL. Bifacel interests me because I think a ground mount oriented West (vs. South) could get more sun longer while the bifacel side could still capture that Easern morning sun. On another note, what are your thoughts on grounding your "mobile" array? Do you think it isn't needed?
@@laboringinthefield5252 I still need to do more research on grounding before I make a decision. I don’t think it’s a bad idea but some people try to say it’s not needed for a delta pro solar input. Not sure yet honestly
