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

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.
Ecoflow can connect to a traditional transfer box that any generator can connect to. So don't necessarily need the smart panel. (this info is based on previous gen ultra and smart panel)

I am considering using this to further reduce my reliance on the grid when the sun isn't out (currently have solar).

funny how vendors are so sure about these stats when they are really guessing based on estimates, because it can't be based on real usage. if they really believed it, wouldn't they warranty them for that long? the 5 year warranty shows their real confidence. this is the point when they've figured losses will exceed profits.
We all know that most toyota cars will last 10+ yrs if properly used and maintained but toyota only give 2-5 yr warranty.

Not just toyota but your iPhone only has 1 yr warranty but we know it will last longer than that.

Your comment is funny.

I understand the convenience and sense of security you get from owning something like this unit, but the cost does seem excessive for probably 12 to 24hrs of home backup power in most cases.

I just bought a 12v 280AH (3584WH) LiFePo4 battery for our RV for $480 shipped. So in theory you could just buy 4 of those Batts with 14.3kw of capacity and have 5k left to buy an inverter charger, a small shelf and some wiring. I get that some people just want to buy a turn key easy solution, but paying a 5k premium over the cost of the Batts for the electronics and a tidy package seem excessive. Personally I would still want a gas generator or Solar Array in addition to the battery backup.

Take something out of the ground, light it, and it burns as fuel ..... and that unnatural ... But dig up trace amounts of cobalt, magnesium, toxic lithium, and use toxic chemicals to work with them, and manipulate them using other manmade specialized machinery, to create a battery pack that will pollute the earth when it's buried, rather than biodegrading ...... but the battery is the natural option ... LOL.

Wake up. The matrix has you.
For most of these ppl meat grows on the store shelves, so do you really expect them to have this kind of knowledge? Man, world is hopeless idiocracy is now.

The biggest problem is reliability and warranty. If it breaks in 2 or 3 years, the investment does not make sense at all.

Wonder if I should get this for my food trailer… I'll spend a bunch on gas over time. Also, it being more quiet is nicer.

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank Medic311

a great setup for power backup system for the home
is to get a system like this (whichever brand you go with), and then an inverter generator that hums along relatively quietly on eco mode to add power into the system as/when needed, compared to a conventional gas generator or a whole-house gas generator

in the event of an outage, you'll automatically switch over to the home battery system if you have the automatic transfer switch configuration, or manually if you have a manual transfer switch or an interlock. then this system's inverter is handling the power needs for the house which is better than using a generator which will rev up and down. and for added silent input, you can deploy your solar panels to silently feed power into the batteries.

when the battery system level drops to a certain point, fire up the inverter generator behind your house set on eco mode to charge up the battery system (and/or also can deploy solar panels if you haven't already).

i prefer the Goal Zero Yeti Pro home backup system over the EcoFlow. lithium phosphate cells in the Goal Zero are rated for more cycles (10% more cycles), it meets UL2743, IPX3, and MIL-STD-810H, and using certain affiliate sites you can get a better deal.
For example ..... the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 12kW set comes with the manual+automatic mode transfer switch, is currently $7,749. You can use a 20%-off coupon code from GOVX and get the price down to $6,200, or $4,800 for the 8kW set.

You know it's marketing BS, right? It's the same like statement that lifepo4 is a drop in replacement for lead acid batteries. There are few parameters contributing to the battery longevity and amount of cycles is just one of them. Another is electrolyte stability which degrades over time, another is a operational temperature, another is charge current, another is discharge current. Each one contribute to the overall longevity, it's incorrect to look only at charge/discharge cycle

The Prius doesn't have bi-directional charging.
Who said that? Google about people installing solar and people adding "house" batteries.
If course it's not comparable to this setup. But you can buy custom DC inverter which connects to main DC 240V battery and can run as long as you have gas.

How would you get this installed? I have solar and want a battery solution.

Is this LFP battery manufactured in China? Is it still eligible for tax credit?

My suggestion if you have $7k is to build your own (before tax):

1. Heavy duty metal shelf ($100)
2. 10kW 48V Solar Hybrid Inverter Split-Phase 200A MPPT Solar Charge ($1669)
3. 8 x Renogy 48V 50Ah LiFePO4 Smart ($640 each during Black Friday x 8 = $5120)
4. Battery cables ($100)

Result:
19200 Wh vs 12000 Wh (60% gain)
LiFePO4 pouch cells vs prismatic cells (lighter)

These have already dropped in price since their initial offering to earlier adopters.

You have to reroute solar panels and connect them directly to this unit. Then you need some transfer switch, manual or automatic or smart , to connect this unit to the main panel. And then you have to pay your solar loan...

typical household uses 30 kwh per day... unsure where they get "week long" power supply from.
