Anyway, there is like basically no chance of me surviving the wife's wrath if I buy a fourth one of these….or is there?
supports 1600W solar input, comes with possibly a 160w panel? it doesn't say which makes me wonder if it comes with something worse. Picture doesn't match any solar panel on their website
Nobody in their right mind would spend this much for a battery storage system for a solar array to get a tax credit. This is close to $0.8/kwh when you can get proper battery storage for far less. Don't understand why people are giving you negative votes, they have no idea what they're talking about.

Looks like a 400W portable solar panel....
Highly Efficient Folding Solar Panels
The one-piece, folding 400W portable solar panel is perfect for home, camping, and off-grid living. High solar output and an improved efficiency rating of 23%. Easy to set up and to collapse when required.
What's in the Box
1. 400W Solar Panel
2. Kickstand Case
3. User Manual
4. Solar to XT60 Charging Cable
This one is 3600Wh with 4500W max for $2900.
Anyone have any feedback?

Additional batteries can be connected; two of these can also be connected to output two phases.
The chemistry used ( lithium-ion phosphate batteries (LiFePO4/LFP)) is better than the usual (like the Jackery Lithium-ion battery) and can charge faster and more times.
It's transportable, though not as easily.
Ecoflow also has a river range that is smaller.
This is SO's house. They don't want to install a full solar system (not yet)
I was looking at these for a backup solution, periodically topping off with a generator but you can't run 220V with the double voltage hub and charge from generator power at the same time. These are cool units, but they're a little pricy for what you get unless you really need it.

If you're looking for something portable with some power, look for something in the 2000w/2000wh range that can be found <$1200.
Spending $2899 3600wh for something mostly for home use is absurd. rather build one on your own and save lots of money. Not to mention you will learn valuable things.
- 2 x 200ah Lifepo4 batteries(5120wh) = $1200.
- A 3000w inverters = $300
- A 40a solar charge controller $120.
- 6 x 100w solar panels = $480.
- Various cables = $100
So for $2200(vs $3499 with only 400w solar), you get a kickass system that will generate 3000w-3500w to your battery bank on a decent day. Add 2 more 100w panels if you want another ~1200w. Also your capacity is 5120wh vs 3600wh. Build a cart i you want to roll this around the house.
You get the satisfaction of learning something and this system can be fix easily if trouble arises.
- Emergencies
- Powering your home when everyone's at work during the day (assuming no A/C)
- Light daily use
Just for reference: People get 4KW systems installed on their roofs and still use grid power at night. No battery needed. They are able to get credit for power generated during the day too.
In this scenario, using the 1800W solar panels to charge up the battery during the day so that you can get through the night would make this a suitable choice for a lot of homes, even on cloudy days.

This also makes an excellent setup if you have a travel trailer.
