Batteries won't need to be replaced in 5-10 years. Lithium iron phosphate batteries are good for 10 years of full discharge every single day.... And at that 10-year point, they still have 80% of their capacity left. So if you ran this every other day to near empty, and recharged to full, you'd get 20 years out of this battery and still have 80%.

The price of batteries is dropping about 5% every couple of months. If you're going to spend this much on a battery, much better to get solar first. You can DIY a nice solar system with portable generator back up for the same price and still get the 30% rebate. Unless something happens, the price of these will keep going lower and lower. Better to wait

Whole house generators are roughly $10-20k installed. They'll run for much longer. They will be louder.

This one qualifies for a 30% tax credit and will last 10 years

That was my exact same thought. Hopefully someone here will shed more light on this. How long to charge and how. How durable. How to discharge into system? I may have to stick with powerwalls as I write.
They're both over priced. Battery prices are coming down. You can DIY for half the price and still qualify for the 30% rebate

For most people powerwall is not going to make sense financially. Unless you have more money than you know what to do with and just want an easy seamless backup that you might never use and willing to pay $10-20k for it.

A generator costs less than $1k and will make more financial sense for most people.

Here's a thing... this $7,000 product stores 12kWh of energy. At U.S. average residential rates, that's just a tad over $2 worth of electricity.

It's like storing your rice in solid gold containers.

question is if your GRID power goes out and you have $2000 worth of meat and food in your frezzer and after 2 days it got spoiled in an power outage ( which is common in hurricane and tornado areas like texas, florida, carolinas ) how much worth is now your $2 worth of electricity ?

this can power you frezzer and fridge for multiple days in an power outage.

but lets brake it down the other way $7000 cost basically zero maintained costs, by min, 10 year life span its less than $2 a day for piece of mind in case of an natural disaster with these states experience usually every years for at least 6 month ? majority of people spend more at DD or Starbucks for coffee every single day ! if you brake it down to 15 years which would be the average life span you will be down to $1.3 per day and gasoline generator costs you much more of this due to yearly/ half yearly maintenance and also keeping 20-30 gallons of gas in stock to run it isnt everyone favorite at all

I'm curious why the OP doesn't list "with panel" as an option? Only $1000 more from Costco and the Smart Home Panel 2 by itself is $1900 on EcoFlow site and $1600 from most retailers.

And natural gas is really cheap especially in the states
But you have to add in all the extra cost with a gas generator. Most cant do the maintenance themselves. My area they charge 300.00 a year for the recommended yearly oil change and checkup.

Then most houses are all electric. Some Liberal states are even banning natural gas for new homes.
If a all electric home. You have to add in the minimum natural gas connection charge. Or for propane the tank rental

Anyone knows if the smart panel is necessary to hook up to existing solar system? Got my enphase combiner and wondering if i can just hook up the battery directly without smart panel 2.

Edit: looks like this cannot be grid tied with existing system

Does EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra work with an existing grid tied system that does not have a backup feature?

Unfortunately, EcoFlow DELTA Pro Ultra cannot connect and feedback to the grid.
For this exact reason I am considering EP Cube batteries. I think that and the FeanklinWH are two that I know are compatible with existing Solar system.

Most power station failure is not caused by battery, it is a circuit components problem that is why there are many refurbished Ecoflow power stations ard on sale

I drive one, and already tested charging friend's tesla. I tried asking sales rep when the house charging become available and was said that the bidirectional for cars was their first step and house is the next. No clue on timing but I can wait a year.
Charging another car is nice if someone is in a pinch. But I thought we talking about home backup?

The same? One has a fixed capacity but can be charged with solar, the other has an "unlimited" capacity as long as your fuel doesn't run out.
So as long as there's sun, it's unlimited too.

And not to mention, sun is free.

I had my Ecoflow Smart Panel 2 installed last week, and have 1 Delta Pro Ultra inverter and 1 battery. It's working flawlessly, although the number of different ways you can use it is so wide that it takes some mental gymnastics to make full use of it. For my use case I'm using it for home backup energy, and can use my Ioniq 5 to charge the Ecoflow and power my house for days, potentially weeks. I'll probably switch to a TOU electric supply to further make use of the setup once my solar is installed.

I'm just about to install a few solar panels which will plug directly into the Ecoflow inverter and will partially power my house.

I spent $63xx on the Smart Panel 2, Delta Pro Ultra inverter and battery (free delivery and found a retailer selling with no sales tax for Texas), $2k for install, and ~$1500 for solar panels, disconnects and wiring. So $10k but you can get 30% off back from Fed tax incentives.

I like seeing more of these come to market. Yes you could DIY a solution with your own batteries and inverter(s) for cheaper. This is a nice no hassle alternative in a compact package. 30% tax credit helps a lot too. If you don't have an immediate need the prices of these should keep coming down as the battery costs drop.
I already added solar panels to my roof and applied for the 30% credit. If I purchase this battery, will I be able to apply for the 30% credit again?

The Tesla Powerwall 3 is the closest in comparison. The Powerwall 3 is now LFP and have a 13.5Kwh. But it is not portable. It's around $9500 just for the battery but Tesla will not sell you the battery by itself. You have to have installation as part of the purchase. So you're looking anywhere around $15K for a single Powerwall 3 installed.
The older Powerwall 2 is lithium-ion (NMC), not LFP and you still need to buy an inverter. LFP is safer and have better longevity.
Imo, this is the easiest DIY and cheapest if you just want a plug and play system.
no one has confirmed PW3 is LFP (all reports and "reviews" are just speculation. Official specs don't mention it and no one has done a teardown, yet). I imagine if it was, Tesla would be advertising this. The main difference between PW3 and PW2 is the 3 has a built-in solar inverter and can output 10kW vs 5kW of the 2. The most important detail is that both have the same 10 year warranty of daily charge and discharge

Quote from j0sh097 :
My understanding is that you can use it as a giant UPS as you described, but it's meant more as a whole-home power backup system. But in order to connect to your house it requires the Panel which costs an additional $1k if you select the "With Panel" option on this Costco deal (plus electrician install fee).
If you wanted to, you could hook this up (or a pair with their adapter) to a generator inlet port and not get the panel. At least you have the option either way.
