Does this also qualify for the 30% tax credit?

It looks like it should based on EcoFlow's website and https://uscode.house.gov/view.xht...ion=prelim

It seems like the requirements are that it has to be a new purchase and at least 3 kilowatt hours. There's also something about being 'installed' but for something like this, I would assume that means you can just roll it in a room and plug something into it for it to be 'installed'. That seems too easy though.

Yes, just like other power stations with "not less than" 3 kWh.

https://homes.rewiringamerica.org...tax-credit

The US code doesn't go into detail beyond "installed in connection with a dwelling unit". I'm not a tax advisor, but I interpret that to mean that it needs to be able to energize the permanently installed circuits in a house - by way of a generator inlet, transfer switch, or some other means.

An electric toothbrush isn't "installed" when it charges from an AC outlet, and a 10 Ah power bank isn't "installed" when it charges a phone that might otherwise be charged from a wall outlet.

If I claimed the credit I would make sure to keep all the receipts and document the installation (photographs etc) in case you need to explain later on.

I have a camper trailer and to run the AC and the fridge, it's about 20amps together. I can kinda understand how to calculate the amp/hours needed. This one says it has 30A AC Outlet Totaling 3600W.

I get confused when it comes to the watts and solar charging to know how much solar wattage I would need to essentially be able to run off this thing around the clock (if possible).

It's probably more useful to think about energy requirements in watts and watt-hours instead of amps.

Air conditioning is typically AC only, newer RV fridges are DC only but some operate off of AC or DC

8-10 cu ft DC fridge use ~1 kWh/day

13k BTU air conditioner uses ~1.5 kWh/hour

Let's say you want to run the A/C for four hours during the day and for two hours at night

Plus lights, water pump, microwave, TV, fans, etc - call that another 2 kWh

So in this example you need ~12 kWh solar energy per day, and ~4 kWh storage overnight. (Without AC you're talking about 3 kWh per day and 1 kWh overnight .. much easier)

Delta Pro is limited by solar input 1.6 kW, realistically in a fully populated flat panel configuration you might expect no more than 5 kWh per day. Running a lot of A/C is going to take a beefier system.

Take a look at this calculator for an example based on expected usage.
