      For plug and play, this is about as good as it gets, but you pay for the convenience.
      Good thing here is that you can start small and expand over time. Add solar as you can, and expand the batteries as it makes sense.
      The double stack will provide 14 KW sustained power and have 60 KWh of storage while supporting over 10 KW of solar input. If you hook it up with the Smart Panel, you can control which circuits are on the batteries and which are fed from the grid.
      I built something similar 25 years ago using AGM Lead Acid batteries. My system could only sustain 4 KVA with a peak of nearly 10 KVA, but it did have 60 KWh of storage. Cost me $15K for parts, but the labor was all me.

    Ive got a pretty decent 8500 watt dual fuel generator, added a transfer switch, and had an exterior gas line installed next to a small concrete slab i poured next to my garage. Huge Tornado hit on Easter 2020 and knocked out power for over two weeks. This kept me going easy. I put my important appliances on the transfer switch and most of the necessary lights. I even had internet and my PC running. The entire setup was about $2500. I might add a single battery setup with an automatic transfer switch so that the power stays on. Battery will handle load for a few minutes, then swap to generator. This is a far more effective option than dropping 20k on batteries for 2 days of power.

      @@teejayman215 technically everything is still ran on fossil fuels so that’s not true. Yeah you’ll have to do maintenance on said generator but it’s never going to run indefinitely. I wish these technologies were more affordable. I do want enough power to run my home for a week or two plus a generator. But I’m not forking out the money. I’d like a setup that allows me to run everything just on the back up battery and also have a massive backup battery in a EV truck but unfortunately Elon musk and ever other electric car manufacturer insists on making overly complicated expensive EV’s. I don’t want a truck that can drive itself and has all these electronics. I want a traditional old school truck that’s tuff and simple. I get it electric collates to futuristic but why does everyone have to have these gadgets that don’t really work for normal blue collar people? I want a cyber truck that’s shaped like a regular truck that just has solid axles and a big battery with regular controls.

    This basic setup is what I did with a small system from Vigorpool. With just a 1200 watt output, gas furnace, and careful use I was able to get through 3 days of power outage. I did that by only running the furnace at night, and by charging the battery from my natgas generator. To be fair, I just ran on the generator during the day, but really the only thing that was stopping me from staying on the battery more often and just topping off the lil solar generator was a big battery. This Ecoflow system is pretty awesome, but the cost is quite steep.

    Do you have an interlock on the main panel so when power goes out you manually switch to the inside outlet then plug the dpu into the outlet to power the house? Also can you leave both cable plugged in meaning the inlet to charge and the inlet to power the main panel? The generator selector is that a custom made box? I am assuming when the dpu is powering the main panel you can just turn off whatever circuit you don’t need while running off of dpu? Thanks

      In rural areas like mine, a propane generator would deplete a tank in 3 days, and if its winter that also means no heat. Thats also assuming it was full which it wouldn't be. Gas generators cost $500/yr for maintenance plans also. They also run for 30 minuets a week, every week of the year which is pretty annoying. The video here isn't tell you the Ecoflow is the only option but the gas route/built in have caused a lot of issues that peopel didnt expect. I should do a video on this, even just for education as some of it can be an eye opener

      Unfortunately you need a multiple system approach.
      If power was only going to go out for a few days you’d probably be fine with a whole house gen.If what many of us think is coming does come the grid will be down often and for extended periods of time.
      All things break,gen sets and these units included.
      I have backups to my backups.
      It all depends what you can afford and how prepared you want to be.
      My advice is look for used or factory refurbished units with a warranty.

    Should look into the smart switch and the Eco flow propane genny. With both those installed you can have the smart panel kick the power over at ups switch speeds and when the batteries are low it will auto start the genny for you, like in the middle of the night. Only 2kw but it does fully connect/link with the system. I'm looking at the same system in the next 2-3 years for myself and that's my long term power storage. Propane doesn't really go bad like gas does and the house I am looking at already has a large tank for the stove. Would just need a new line for the genny.

    Can the Dual fuel Ecoflow generator work with this setup automatically, like with the Delta pro batteries?
    And, with being as remote as you are, Consider appliances that run on Propane vs electricity.
    You can buy as much as you can, and Propane lasts forever.

But we need to plan for all things here where there have been week long outages.

      You can't compare it to a generator, well of course you can. But you have to want the batttery, whether its cause you can't deal with fuel (lot of people can't) you want stealth mode or maybe you have solar where you can tie it in. You won't ever buy this to save money but it can give some features that can be really helpful. Gas gens have had 70 years to get cheap, we are still in the somewhat early days of these.

    You can charge the EcoFlow DPU with 240 volt. You just need the adapter that goes from 240 volt on your generator to the power-inlet port on the DPU.

    • @SilverCymbal

      Yes, I am using the 240v to charge it now at up to 7000 watts which is crazy. But you can't output anything while doing that. But you definitely can charge at 120v while outputting 240v, max is 1800watt. Ecoflow is the only one to offer this feature, and I love having it.

      You can be certain that switching all of them is the best way as it leaves nothing to chance. I did as much research as possible my install and there are lots of people saying it makes no difference as grounds and neutrals are the same but there was info stating that all leads should be switched. There is no specific code that will address this, its likely part of something else as this is a very small demand project. So in the end you have to make your own decision or consult an electrician.

    4:25 -- One serious concern about this rolling battery system is safety during earthquakes.
    The heavy batteries stacked atop one another (unsecured) on a smooth rolling cart (not fastened to a wall) means that this roughly 400 pound thing is a roll/tip hazard during a major earthquake. And that is in addition to being a shock/explosion hazard if these lithium batteries are punctured and exposed to water, say from flooding.
    In earthquake environments, I would like to see the whole setup in an anti-roll, anti-tip cage or at least strapped to the wall.

    I very curious how long these batteries last. It’s already too expensive and hopefully that will change soon but with the current battery chemistry I don’t see this as viable as just a gas generator. I could never afford this in my life let alone have to potentially replace a battery module after it looses capacity.

    • @SilverCymbal
      @SilverCymbal  27 วันที่ผ่านมา

      They are rated for 3000 cycles before they lose about 5% capacity per year. So if you charged and discharged this every single day, it would work at 100% for 8.2 years and then start to slowly lose capacity. No one uses it that much though, so I would expect a 10-15 year working life from these.
