Agreed, though it's worth noting anyone getting a 2KWH system should almost certainly go ahead and buy a 3rd KWH whether another stand alone battery, hot swap whatever. There is a income tax credit of 30% you can get on portable battery setups like this that kicks in at 3KWHs. Which basically means net cost of a 3kWH system is almost the same as a 2 KWH system after the tax credit.
Also looks like Home Depot brought the companion to this deal back which is the Delta 2+Delta max for 3KWH total for $1450~. 2 KWH of it is not LFP, but at least for my use case that's fine. The extra battery will be used basically only in emergencies while the main battery get's cycled a lot. $1450+tax-tax credit should put cost net about the same as the OP.
This is one of the best $/kWh deals right now for LFP batteries complete with inverter, MPPT, etc. I got one at the $1049 price, and and I'd definitely pay $1099 for it. The only reason not to get one is if 2kWh is definitely not enough storage, as you're pretty much maxed out. You could pick up a delta 2 max extra battery later, but then you'd either be hotswapping for a total of 4kWh or sitting with 3kWh, at which point you're just better off getting a Delta Pro from Costco and all the other benefits it provides.
From what I can tell, it needs to be installed with the dwelling, so I suspect simply plugging it in doesn't count as "installed" but rather a permanent install such as the home backup kit would also be required to take advantage of the tax credit.
I'm 80% confident that you cannot just buy the portable battery to get a tax credit without some type of hardwired installation associated with a property address.

Bought this during the last FP deal. Used it to power our fridge and some fans overnight during a recent power outage. Worked great. Just bought this Renogy 400W system to charge this EcoFlow kit. Per the specs of the EcoFlow, this should work perfect with the panels connected in series, in parallel.
The charge controller isnt likely useful for this application, but I'd like to have it for the purposes of charging a standalone battery/DC fan in the future.

I wouldn't do this. You should use the open current when doing the math for a series, which is 24 volts. 3 I parallel is probably the best you can get.

Stay away from ecoflow. There are so many better companies out there. Bought their blade lawnmower. Had serious issues from the start, patiently waited for updated. After the 30day return period ended support stopped responding. now I have a 3k lawnmower sitting in a box because it does not work. Sadly i waited too long to get my credit card company involved. Im sure the company will go out of business in a short period of time.
What? You didn't return a broken lawnmower during the return period? Sounds like you could have avoided this issue.

One of the things that steered me to this unit is the ability to control max draw on AC to charge. While I have multiple old-school generators that could be used to recharge the Delta 2, I am toying with the idea of using my Hybrid (Ford Maverick) as a possible power source in a power-outage situation. That is, use the hybrid as a AC power source to the Delta 2. Just leave the vehicle "running" and it will automatically start the gas engine as required to recharge its high-voltage battery which in turn does dc to dc to recharge the 12V battery (which is source for the 400-watt inverter). The Maverick with Lariat Lux package has a 120V plug in the bed, so no need to run the extension in the interior cab.
The built-in Maverick inverter is limited to 400 watts, so being able to limit current draw on the Ecoflow is required. (I am toying with the idea of adding a 1500 watt inverter system.) Once I get the Delta 2+battery, I will test out this as an alternative to generators or solar as a way of feeding the Delta in a simulated power-out situation.
(Side note: If I add a 1500 watt inverter (as I've seen done in some YouTube videos), an alternative to the above would be to have both this system (i.e. 1500 watts from Hybrid) AND the Delta 2 (1800 watt)) concurrently for different appliances, e.g. multiple refrigerators, freezers, my wood stove fan, boiler power, etc. )
Looks like THD has some good deals on Ecoflow, too bad they don't have one for River 2 Pro. The River 2 Max + 160W looks tempting but would really like a River 2 Pro instead.
From what I can tell, it needs to be installed with the dwelling, so I suspect simply plugging it in doesn't count as "installed" but rather a permanent install such as the home backup kit would also be required to take advantage of the tax credit.

Yeah this is my understanding as well, but I see others perpetuating this idea that its auto available for the tax credit.
Yeah the rules can get specific that the property where its installed must be owned, and the tax payer MUST RESIDE in that owned property, i.e. you cannot buy it for your buisness, rental property. https://www.irs.gov/pub/taxpros/fs-2022-40.pdf
*correction*
Please refer to your tax person to confirm, but it seems like there is a clarification that it can apply to renters.
