At this price point, if you don't need the portability, I would recommend buying an all-in-one inverter like the 6000XP connected to LifePower 48V batteries. It's eligible for the 30% solar tax credit, UL listed, and if a battery degrades or needs to be swapped, you don't need to send the entire unit to a company like Ecoflow.

If you do need portability, check out Will Prowse's Solar Kart series on YouTube.

no thanks. 6000xp fan noise is quite loud and annoying. only suitable for installing away from living area. also, much more difficult to set up. if you want something diy, at least recommend the flex boss, which is much quieter than that screaming hair dryer 6000xp.

QUESTION FOR EXPERTS: I'm opening up a 1400 sq/ft medical office in a larger office building without backup power. So I'd like to install a battery backup system to "keep the lights on" in my office in case of power outages that happen a few times a year in my area. It does not need to be enough power to run HVAC systems. It simply needs to be able to keep the lights on and continue to provide power to minor 120v appliances (computers, tv, refrigerator, etc) for up to 12 hours. Would this bundle suffice? Can it be wired into the existing breaker box? Do I need anything else for the electrician to set it up?

with a combined total of 8,000 watts output, this should be more than enough. you could probably get by with even one, at 4,000 watts. you will likely need the electrician to either wire in a 50 amp generator inlet box with an interlock on your panel, or a transfer switch with generator inlet. ecoflow sells one, called the smart home panel 2.

then you would plug both delta pro 3s into the hub, and a cord out from the hub into the generator/power inlet box of your breaker panel or transfer switch.

I have these and have mixed feelings about them.

During a power outage, I tried to hook it up and couldn't get the 50 amp hub to work. I had to update the firmware and it finally started working, which was a huge pain because the power was out and I didn't have wifi.
While they're turned on and idle (not in standby) they seem to consume a lot of electricity. Like they'll drain a good 10% in a day, which is 400wh.
Very heavy. I had planned to take them with me camping, but I keep hurting my back trying to load them into the bed of the truck.

So I dunno, has a lot of features in a nice package, but if I could do it over again I might look building my own system with batteries and an inverter.

I went with the generator interlock approach because I was able to wire it up myself after watching a lot of youtube videos, although probably better to hire an electrician since some places require a permit.

I got a Delta 2 Max and at 50 lb it's the biggest 'portable' power station I'll get. 2kwh ratchet stepped in my trunk, charged by my alternator when I need it. For a bigger home system ill build it myself so if a part goes bad i can replace it individually.

I just noticed the Smart Home Panel 2 is required to have automatic conversion to battery power, which would be very nice to have! But, the reviews on that are mixed for some reason.. If the panel has relay issues it seems you're out of luck. So perhaps the manual switch is a better option. But I won't always be there to do that. Ugh
