I say this cuz I've lived all over the world and been through every type of storm- snow, hurricanes, tsunamis, fires, floods... having multiple systems saved us on several occasions.

Love it. Going to be my backup system when we move to a tiny home.

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.

@kylewest100 seems your gripe is with the way EV companies are designed. Still, back to this subject. Seems like this generator would be more than self sufficient if you have enough panels and you could even increase the capacity with more of these Delta pro Ultra units. Okay, they're expensive now, but so whatt? Solar tech has jumped leaps and bounds in the last 10 years. Every year it's getting cheaper and cheaper to buy and install neater and better system. You gripped about how expensive this system is, To me it seems like the most easiest-to-install solar system I've seen thus far, and it's so sleek

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.

I have 2 Tesla powerwalls. I like them but I love the modularity and ease of upgrading for this system.

Let's go! I would love to have half that setup. Maybe someday. Delta II and 4800w of gas gen for now. 👍

most off gridders use propane for heat and cooking. I ordered a small propane hot water heater for out door showers.

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

yea they also have a gas generator that hooks into these and can be set to turn on as a backup if needed

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.

Were you able to charge from a generator with a 120v 30 amp outlet while you were running the house? Basically a tt30r. I have a 4200 watt generator with that 30 amp 120v rv plug on it. It's an inverter style so I figured I could charge via 120v plug or the generator input with it. Thanks!

This may be a loaded question(pun intended), but will this work either a grid-tied solar system? If decoupling from the grid, will this power the solar inverted to produce and charge it during the day?

Pretty cool system but here’s the thing if I’m spending that kind of money I want a whole house generator that actually runs everything I mean everything like the A/C for one. My dad has a 26kw for his 2,500 square foot house and it runs it all you don’t have to pick and choose.

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.

Little surprised they don't offer a 50 amp connection on this beast. I guess it would have to be limited to 120V unless you get the 14kW solution.
