3.6kWh = 3600 watt hours. That is battery capacity. It can deliver 3600 watts for one hour then it's dead. Or 1800 watts for 2 hours, 900 watts for 4 hrs, etc. Using appliances that consume 500-600 watts each will go quickly. Forget about A/C or electric ovens.

Uh, what? These are 3600W continuous output, with 3.5 kWh worth of storage capacity. That is not really sufficient for running high load/drain devices like a range or central AC. Could one or the other work? Perhaps. Should you rely on that? Probably not.

Agreed. This is good deal.

Add on $290 ($29 x 10) for the necessary relays and the math looks something like:
$2725 + 290 = $3015 for Delta Pro and SHP.


That's better than I could put together in a similar deal:
Delta Pro standalone: $2449 (Costco price)
Smart Home Panel with relays: $999 (Ecoflow site and others)
$2449 + 999 = $3448

Hmm decisions decisions…

Many lifePO4 batteries are dropping in price at the moment. So the decision between a pre-built system like the Delta Pro vs DIY with separate components is difficult atm.

For those wanting to understand these Ecoflow products and/or other DIY options checkout the Ecoflow subreddit or visit diysolarforum.com. Those are much better places to get technical info rather than SD.

Needs relay modules, but still seems like a great package if the Delta pro is needed

Trying to figure out exactly what this is. So essentially a relay for when your power goes out? And then you're on battery power rather than a gas generator? That battery has crazy capacity with 3.6kW. That should power most homes easily.

Or you can charge it with solar everyday and use whatever you have in battery. It will automatically switch to grid when battery is low.

Or you can save the battery to use when TOU is high like 4pm-9pm

Pretty much, although it probably won't be quite enough for central AC or an electric range... but things like fridge, microwave, furnace blower (for gas heat in the winter), toaster/toaster oven, lights, network/computer equipment? No problem.

This battery is 36,000 watts divided by 240 volts = 150 amps. That will do most everyone's house including electric range and AC assuming range uses about 40 amps, and AC uses probably about the same.

Either way that's a huge capacity battery and looks like you can daisy chain them up. Pretty cool technology. I wonder what the life of the battery is.

3.6kW is 3,600 watts, so 15 amps. It can be expanded to 25kW, but looks like max output is 7200kW even then.

From the linked page
"That gives you a potential 240V, 7200W output and 25kWh of capacity..."

7200W would give you 30 amps continuous. I would be concerned about inrush current of say a central A/C unit. Maybe the battery can handle it but it's still something to consider.

You're also limited to 10 circuits based on the transfer switch (Smart Home Panel).

I had a similar setup with a 10kW natural gas Generac generator but eventually moved to a 200 amp transfer switch and installed a smart module on the A/C circuit to prevent it from kicking on if it would push the generator past it's maximum current. Now I don't need to run extension cords to equipment I didn't have when the generator was put in.

LOL, my bad, you're right. That was blowing my mind that a battery had 36,000 watts. Makes more sense that it's 3600 watts.

For perspective, a space heater eats 1500 to 1800 watts per hour. So thos powers 2 of em for 1 hr. Not super impressive for thousands of dollars.

Electric space heaters are horrendously inefficient. If you're using any small gas generator, they'll struggle with powering a space heater too. Both are best for powering fridges, freezers, and lights during a power outage.
