you do very informative videos. i wish i had had as much money as you apparently do to get started off-grid. i went off-grid 20+ years ago (at the age of 41), and i have always had to make do with super low income, even while building (lots of reused and recycled materials). i chose a super simple life that does not require much money, and therefore has minimal stress. i'll never be as self sufficient as i'd like to be, but i've accepted that. i am somewhat envious that you are starting on this life so young, my partner and i always talk about what our life would be like now if we has started in our 20s. we are both well into our 60s, and still doing the simple, off-grid life. best of luck to you guys!

What got me interested is the option to use a 2kWh or a 5kWh LFP battery which can be stacked on top of each other.

Your electrical background makes you such a great spokesman for Eco Flow. I find your knowledge to be very exceptional.

Getting easier and easier 👍🏻👍🏻. SIMPLER AND SIMPLER TOO 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😍 Nice system ❤️❤️👍🏻

Thanks for the solar power info. 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

I literally would purchase this system because of Kyle review, and how he is using it in a real living situation. Hands down.

You explaining ALL that is amazing. To me was like you speaking in a foreign language. You are so intelligent! Be proud of yourself.

I like the fact its nearly just plug and play system.

Nice system. Just need to get some 200-watt panels to feed the system.

Looking at this system, it definitely is a good solution for off grid builds. It is fully customizable and it is running at 48V which is safer compared to other systems.

Good video Kyle. That looks like a great option for cabins.

Buy a solar generator. Whatever brand you like. Add some solar panels and you can power most anything. You can use a gas generator to charge it up if need be. You can take the generator and a charging block into town to charge it up if needed. Lots of charging options.

A gas generator would be nice to have for a backup in case the solar panels get damaged in a hail storm or wind storms throw branches all over hell and breaking them up, or if a foot of snow falls and covers up your panels and then everything freezes into a hard freeze so you can't even scrape the snow off the solar panels. You pick the scenario.

Nice system. Just bought a Delta Pro after I saw your review from a while back. Thanks!

Great stystem bought jackery Amazon 300 watt. We lost power back In May big Strom blow in mighty hard and fast . But only lost power for 27 hours some areas in ontario week. Ready for next one 300 jackery will run 5.o cubic freezer fridge lamps even portable Ac it only draws 73 watts !!! . Stock up saints long dark winter insane times indeed

Great video Kyle! As an electrician, I understand electrical systems very well, and I’m impressed with all Eco-Flow products, and this one is great too!! Also I love Glens! Nice store, been there quite of few times!

So envious of that setup -- maybe one day at the ole offgrid, though my little Honda 2000i just sips gas.

How much did the system cost?

Thank you for explaining everything in detail!

It’s great to promote things that work for you. It really helps others that may be looking for something. Thankyou.

Sick system. Way simpler than most I've seen. Thanks!

Great video Kyle. Thanks a lot.

Kyle , you should also mention all the possible incentive programs people may have in their own State as well as Federal tax credits , maybe State tax credits , this will help off-set the total upfront cost of a system , you don't have to be a solar company or have some company install it , you can take whatever percentage the credits have off just the purchase of the equipment kit

Thanks I am always looking for new alternatives. I have the Ecoflow instant water heater and works great.. 4 yr now. 😎

Great educational video Kyle. Well done, thanks.

Looking forward to your solar rack build!

would be nice to hear the price said lol

Pretty impressed with that. It looks very easy. We are off-grid but needed the help of an electrician friend to get set up.

I have the biggest ECOFLOW solar generator and ECOFLOW panels with the extension leads and hope to add an additional battery. My roof solar was so successful (my last 3 month bill was $15)but its grid tied - my diesel generator is 6500kw - I like a back up and another back up - Gets cold in Ireland Although I live alone, 55 and disabled in 2200 m2 home I think my family will be heading back home in the years to come - so Ive been prepping for 7 years(though I don't know another single prepper here) - My favourite is the wood burning stove with oven compartment on top - its a good size for cast iron crock pot or multiple loaf tins - gotta go - canning to do

My buddy lives in Galway. He used to make home heating boilers. It sounds like you have things covered for hard times. I'm in the San Francisco, Calif area and I prepared for fires and earthquakes. I like EcoFlow products but build my own home brew units where any failed component can be replaced in minutes. 6500 is a nice size generator. I have a 7500 Onan diesel on a 100 liter fuel tank but prefer to rig for silent running on batteries. I built the Big Kahuna for my buddy Augie and tested it at my house. All the best!

Awesome info Kyle.

Awesome guys!

Thank you for the explanation of the simplicity of this system. I find your straight forward thinking and explanation process relieving. There is another off-grid channel I watch pretty often that has his own solar panel power system that won't even consider an Eco-flo system because of the expense. His system is cheaper than the Eco-flo system, but like you said: you get what you pay for. Of course opinions are always free. He bashed me for suggesting he try Amazon for a belt for his John Deere lawn tractor when he demanded to get original parts only. I was just trying to save him some money, since he's always talking about spending less for things. I never had you bash me (or anyone else) for a comment. You're a fine young man! Keep living right and passing along the knowledge!

This is quite a good power system. I think I could really use something like this for my off grid home. That control module sure is pretty amd functional.

Nice work mate looking good

Excellent explanation.

Eco flow is a great system. It will be a game changer for your cabin

Dude. If you have a grid connection here's what you do. Find good quality 60 cell solar panels. Buy Enphase microinverters. They convert the DC power the panels produce to 240 volt AC power. You then have to have a way to mount the panels. You then connect the panels using a standard cable Enphase provides, and wire into a standard breaker panel. You local wires company will have requirements on how your generation is connected to their grid power. That's it. Very simple and the grid becomes your "battery" depending on how rates and service options are in your state and area. Good luck.

This was a very helpful video, thank you very much.

Appreciate this. I've been looking into EcoFlow.

Contrary to what is stated in this video, LiFePo4 batteries do not perform (as in: can be charged) well at all in freezing ("cold") setting. Basically if you don't leave a heater on in your cabin, you can't charge these when it's freezing. YT does not allow for pasting web links (anymore), so you'll have to Google for yourself. But here's a snippet. "What are Some LiFePO4 Low Temperature Charging Tips? Lithium iron phosphate batteries do face one major disadvantage in cold weather; they can't be charged at freezing temperatures. You should never attempt to charge a LiFePO4 battery if the temperature is below 32°F. Doing so can cause lithium plating, a process that lowers your battery's capacity and can cause short circuits, damaging it irreparably. In order to charge a LiFePO4 battery in below-freezing conditions, you need to raise its temperature first. The easiest way to do this is to simply move the battery to a warmer environment. You can also try wrapping the battery in a thermal blanket, or placing it near a small space heater."

Ecoflow is really making a push into modular design EVERYTHING. Super cool -- also great marketing push from them

You really can't say this system is comparable to being on grid. This system is for people who can't get power to their home or cabin. I had a 200amp service put in my camp, 200ft back underground. When everything was done it was 2k with inspection. That's probably the price for one lithium battery. Right now my electric cost is $30 a month. That basically comes out to the same price of another battery after 10yrs. I can run central air if need be or 220v appliances . For that you would need several more batteries and solar panels to keep up. The system you have is perfect for a place where no electric is available and you can live without all the conveniences

Don't know where you live but in some places electricity is pricey. Here in Texas you can pay upwards of 0.17/kwh. If your going 200 foot on raw land where there is no service hub oh boy that's another 5 to 8 grand. At your prices I would stay on grid as well.

I had an ecoflow river a few months ago. It failed to last the time it showed, turned its self off. Then had to sit on the charger for 30hrs just to get it to turn on. Thankfully they took it back and I got a full refund. Not reliable enough for me yet.

Lots of issues with those. All the KZreadrs I know who bought them had issues. I used the stimulus checks to get two Bluetti EB70s for my chest freezer and two 500 watt brands I found that were half price for my dorm fridge then carefully shopped for deals on smaller 300 watt ones and solar panels because we get hit by hurricanes here a lot. I recently bought a 300 amp hour LiFeP04 battery after prices finally came down and a 60 amp charge controller and 2000 watt inverter so I can have power for a window air conditioner to cool off after the next storm. It`s too bad prices for this stuff are so high. But at least now nobody can turn off my electricity. It cost me a fortune to be able to say that and I have nowhere near what I actually need but can`t afford it.

You’re really good teacher Kyle. I really like the way you explain things. I like the comparison to the grid and the benefits of not having a bill at the end of the month.

Time for a small like 2k array these will take like 5k of pv input impressive

Dope

Sale window is pretty narrow but nice review.

The 4kilowatt is less than 6k .Add 3rd battery for 6 kilowatts if u get enough sunlight.

what about a dryer and oven? I'm just asking cause idk.

Nice. The features are really cool, but you definitely will pay for it compared to a standard Bluetti AC 200 Max or AC 300, Ecoflo Delta Pro, or something like that. Victron has all kinds of logging and adjustability, and you definitely pay for that and it's more complicated. I'm in it for less than you with an AC200 Max and battery (4 total KWH), a transfer switch, a 2000 watt inverter generator, and 800 watts of solar so far, but I don't have the expandability or the control that you do. So, good option, and they'll just keep getting better I'm sure.

After leaving a bad comment when you first got it and promoting it(ecoflow)....I thought to myself that I should try it myself and make my own decision. You have been BANG on with your previous assessments-so I apologize. How many cycles thus far, and any degradation? I only have 6 charges so far.

I'm curious if Evenflo would have a wind turbine system.. I've seen some of the people that live in Alaska have wind turbines to kind of fill the void when the sun doesn't really come up for a couple months... In a generator will be their third resource.. in the summer they rely more on the solar panels in the wind turbine in the winter when there's constant breeze gone the wind turbine has a better output than the solar panels would like to see The other two systems fail you start the generator.. I'm just wondering.. I'm curious that's all

Kyle's review is spot on for the larger units, I'd already have one, but I don't actually live at my cabins except for a week. Love what you're doing ❤️
