- Power pretty much anything: DELTA Pro leads the industry when it comes to AC output. With 3600W you've got a portable generator that can power heavy-duty appliances such as dryers, AC units & more. Need even more power? Pair two units together to hit a massive 7200W.
- A smart home battery system Made specifically for the DELTA Pro ecosystem, the Smart Home Panel connects the DELTA Pro portable power station right to your home's wiring.
- Backup power for essential home appliances When the grid goes down, the Smart Home Panel instantly switches to battery backup mode using any connected DELTA Pro units. Your home will go on strong with up to 7200W of power and 25kWh of energy when properly equipped.
- EcoFlow app control Monitor, control, and manage energy through the EcoFlow app. The app gives real-time metrics and lets you avoid peak rates.
- Peak rate avoidance If you're on a time-of-use billing rate, you can use the Smart Home Panel and attached DELTA Pros to store energy when rates are low and consume it when rates are high.

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.

You can most likely connect A/C if you add a soft starter to your compressor, which is a problem for any battery system... ...including draining it fairly quickly. Keep in mind that 240V will take two circuit relays of your available 10 circuits AND you will need to connect 2 Delta Pros to make it work. Watch this YouTube review to get into how the Smart Panel work in single phase & split phase configurations and what to consider - https://youtu.be/KadE5X9F1vI?si=
I am having a professional electrician install 1 Panel for me this weekend while I will install the other myself just to monitor other circuit breaker usage without Delta Pros attached (until I expand). I am using this setup as an almost all home UPS battery backup system while flipping automatically to it during peak grid hours. My grid utility charges 5x the amount during peak time for solar customers, so I get to feel that in my pocket big time on cloudy days. I would rather put excess 5x charge paying off the batteries than paying grid donations of what I feel is unfair peak overcharge for being solar.
Fingers crossed on ROI

"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.

If you get a generator inlet, or even the ecoflow switch, you don't have that limitation. And it's about $500 cheaper for 2 delta pro systems. And you could get the free 400W panel as well as another 100W one from Amazon. And it's a little cheaper to get installed. But you don't get the automation and need a lock out kit

- what you are trying to solve for
- how much do you want to spend
- how much do want to compromise
For me is to protect essential circuits (not necessarily anything above 30Amps) during a grid power outage and cut down peak utilization with a system that will not break the bank. Once I add direct Solar to the batteries, then I can also work off grid in prolonged outages.vs

In all honesty, it feels like that the Delta Pro just happen to fall by accident into the whole home backup alternative to the traditional Tesla walls & Enphase systems, which is why the price point in good. Now, with Delta Pro Ultra is coming out, that is now competing directly but also building in potentially the same premium.

How are you using the panels? The ones from Ecoflow? How well does it work.
The price is very tempting compared to a powerwall
It took me a few re-reads... but I think you're BOTH right!
Electric space heaters ARE tremendously efficient, in that 100% of the energy is converted to heat. Agreed.
However... they're tremendously inefficient compared to a heat pump, for example! I'm guessing that's what Soloma was trying to say.
I'll also add that when I first bought it, I tested my little Honda EB2800 specifically with an oil-filled radiator and it worked just fine. I think it pulls 1,800W maximum. The generator max is 2,400W continuous / 2800W peak. It worked fine on the Minimum, Medium, and Maximum settings. A properly sized generator should not struggle to power an electric heater. You did say "small" gas generator, to be fair. But even a little 2,000W generator should be able to power a space heater on Medium pulling 700W-1,200W.
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.

My one Smart Panel gets professionally installed tomorrow with the two Ecoflows that is going to protect critical systems. I will let you know how it turns out.
I am going to keep the 2nd smart panel and install it myself without Pros yet, so that I can keep the firmware up to date and monitor grid utilization on the remaining circuits... the hope is that I can use it without Pros attached for the short term.
Long term. The hope is that the Delta Pros and extra batteries are going to drop in price (or better refurb deals/bundles) and grow the system piecemeal. If the system gets large enough, I may get a soft starter for my A/C and add that to the 2nd Smart Panel.
Why "2 * DELTA PRO + Smart Home Panel" is $6299.
How does that offer make any sense while option "1 * DELTA PRO + Smart Home Panel" is $2725.00
It's funny seeing companies playing mental games with us.
