Ecoflow Delta Pro 3 Announced! Does it even make sense?

Ecoflow just announced that they are launching a new DELTA Pro 3. This coming on the heels of the DELTA Pro Ultra launched approximately 6 months ago. Something doesn't seem to add up. Here's my quick take based on the limited information that we currently know. More details are coming from Ecoflow on June 24th.

Well thought out, I agree. Thank you.

If it has a 30a transfer switch built-in, that would be an upgrade.

[@amowatt01]

As a solar dreamer i would want a "portable SHP".......I dont see how it could happen but if they could dev a solution for Renters tht could have a "portable SHP" then tht would be a bigger addressable market segment.......but it may not be technicallly possible. PV arrays could hang on balcony railings for renters.

[@vtran1082]

I'm glad they fixed their wires with 90 degree connections though

[@DanielGoodwin-jq1oc]

#Truth! To be honest, I would have been thrilled if EF had just announced a new affordable cable for the original DP and extra batteries with right angle connectors. Would have made more sense than the DP III.

[@timcat1004]

They should have increased the higher voltage solar input. It is very common now to find residential panels with a 49 VOC. You can't do three series and certainly not four S. Example I have four 545 watt panels and with my DP I am forced to run them in 2S2P The max charge I see is 1400 watts on a good day.

[@DanielGoodwin-jq1oc]

Agreed, the voltage specs on the inputs is very lackluster for 2024. At a minimum, both inputs should be 1,600w and similar specs. Would have much preferred to see one 450v and higher wattage input and perhaps another lower voltage input (similar to the ultra).

[@OffgridApartment]

A unit that isn’t 240v capable is what doesn’t make sense. The only problem with the pro 3 is the solar input voltage cap at 150v. That’s nonsense in 2024.

[@robertlee6781]

I would have been interested if they offered the inverter separate from the batteries. Kind of like a lighter version of the Ultra. Just my $.02.

[@HiMrDimka]

Its make sense,its pro series line,Ultra separate line,more capable,but less mobile mostly for home usage. Pro its for rv or overland camping in trucks or something. U right Ultra have much better by specs and pro3 still have this bad design long between batteries connection cable, Ultra done its right

[@acefire4050]

No, it's not nearly as what much as you'd be. It's typically just slightly over a Delta pro. Not much at all, and that's what equal for told me. That's what the equal flow Delta 3 told me. And you're asking me to invest into.You wanted the first ones to get one or all 3, including the batteries.If we wanted to show that much don't think I will be able to by the time you're asking for it

[@acefire4050]

Also said that 3 is possible to charge the ultra Delta pro. Ultra?.

[@amowatt01]

U did not question the cable attachment for the additional or extended batteries......its crap compared to the ULTRA cables for the extended Pro 3 battery........the designers of the Pro 3 need to learn from the designers of the of the ULTRA. The price point has to be the difference between the Pro 3 and ULTRA and form factor.

Does it make sense? No. Ecoflow has departed from the same thing that made them very successful --- the original Delta Pro and the Smart Home Panel (version 1). Guess what? The new Delta Pro 3 isn't compatible with the SHP1 nor is it compatible with the Delta Pro (version 1) but it is compatible with their Delta Pro extra battery with yet another firmware update/upgrade. That means if you bought into their ecosystem, you have basically use your delta pro main unit (not extra battery) as a boat anchor. Also, the new Delta Pro 3 is limited to the same 150volts as the Delta Pro ... therefore, you can forget about the higher voltages the AIO type units seem to be really focused on and manage to get 450-500volts. Their High voltage PV is 150V and the low voltage is 60V. Needless to say, I'm moving away from the whole ecoflow systems since I can see they aren't planning to really support "legacy" products that made them this successful. I'll move to the "DIY" type setup with tried and true low frequency inverters like Victron and rack type 48v batteries. At least I know in a year or two they won't be 100% obsolete.

[@acefire4050]

It's to each generator or 6 batteries to all 3 generators. That's a bad thing. There should be 6 batteries to each generator that will make it something I would want or at least 4 batteries to each generator I like those batteries we should build a stack for on top of the generator.

[@acefire4050]

The solar charging is the only one.I'm gonna go by is cause it's the only one I can use unless i use another solar generator to charge up that generator I'm not gonna buy the gas generator so I'll never buy a gas generator and i can't say never because i still might buy 1 from.Walmart and I still don't want to do that special if I get a fourteen thousand watt for eight hundred bucks

[@Bmeri3]

I asked Ecoflow if they had an upgrade program for Delta Pro owners and they said No.

[@DanielGoodwin-jq1oc]

Yeah...existing customers got overlooked with both of EF's new products unfortunately. It really hurts that you can't just replaces say your Delta Pro units with either the Ultra or this new DP 3 model and still use the existing batteries and original SHPs that we already have.

[@acefire4050]

They kind of asked me. Give me more pictures of it. How to take one battery? You can hook 3 of them together. I don't like that. It only could take one battery. I like call it, put the battery on it. But I wish they did it sort of the other way where they had 2 battles beside it. But they could stack 3 batteries on each side to make it 6 batteries. Then it'd be worth something to me, but they asked me to investment to it. I don't have the money just yet. Friday I might be doing something like that. Or next week Friday. But the way it sounds like I got all. Of it, did you July 4th to do? When they actually come out with it, I'll be one of the first ones to get 1, then we'd have to figure out what all the corpses and stuff like that, so they can fix all that. So when they actually do start selling them. 4098 W is what echo floor told me and then you could put 3 of those Delta pros together, Delta pros 3 together.It sounds like they only take one battery.Each which does not sound very good to me.Especially when I want more power than that In watt hours.

[@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk]

With other words, not only don’t you have a clue about the new delta pro, but you sound upset. Worst “pre-view” you could have made. Zero value

[@lorenjensen2034]

They have too many products.
