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.

Also, if you're talking about running an electric heater off of stored energy (gas or battery), you've got additional inefficiencies built into the system. I'm having trouble finding good numbers for this, but a rule of thumb I've heard for combustion engines is losing about 70% of the energy to heat. So for every 1000 W you pump into an electric heater, you've lost around 2300 W in heat from the generator.
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.
* I paid a pro electrician to install the first one. It is straightforward enough that I am doing the second one myself (and probably a better job w/o rushing). Will re-do the 1st one myself for better cable management.
* Cabling is about 4 ft in length. It gets tight in the smart panel if you don't manage it well from the get go. Plan the runs and don't rush.
* Commission your Smart Panel First WITHOUT turning on the breakers on the main panel (pro electrican got impatient at this point).
------- Instructions & Video was not clear on this OR we mixed up our steps for commissionning ----
** WHAT NOT TO DO - turning all the breakers and adding the batteries before commissioning will FAIL THE WIRING TESTS and leave a weird error that you cannot clear and only get a generic useless logs
** HOW TO FIX - Your wiring is fine if the house is working as normal. Finish commisisoning to the failed test part. Turn off all the breakers including to the Smart Panel. Only run from the Delta Pros. Go to the App and Configure ALL the Ciruits to OFF. Run the Wire Test and it should be good now. Enable the circuits again in the App.
** HOW TO COMMISSION PROPERLY FROM THE START - Keep all breakers off. Plug in Smart Panel to Delta Pros. Open App and commission the Smart panel.
Hope this helps/

My 2 Smart Panels Were delivered last week, the free 400W solar panel is coming today, but my Delta Pros are still on the East Coast.

My second smart panel is about 3ft away with the 1st panel in between. I am hooking it up myself and is costing about $100 of materials.
Infinity cable has been out of stock from Ecoflow. Best place to order right now is https://outboundpower.c

To used Smart Panel, all relays must be populated. Ecoflow support says you can use a higher relay and set the software to trigger at a lower amperage.
For example, say I have solar, and want to charge these from noon-2pm, and then discharge them from 4pm-9pm (TOU rates). Can you set this sort of scheduling? Is there an API?
Let's also say that I'm using 5kW at 5PM, and this thing can only supply 3.6kW. Can you still partially draw from the grid in parallel?
