[@fr3nchy69]

Good review. I have a very similar setup. The review reflects my experience for most aspects of the SHP2 but you should do more review on the grid tied functions. Why? The actual orchestration of the SHP2 and attached DPUs is limited and has some challenges when you mix grid and solar. Especially if the goal is to roll back the meter (like the title of the video). One major limitation is the "max charge" for the DPUs. The max charge is shared by all inputs. So when grid tied, and the batteries are allowed to charge, they will quickly charge on grid AC, reach the max charge limit, but then none of your solar energy will benefit the batteries unless you actually consume some of the battery energy. Having the ability to charge to x% (aka set a target for a charging task) or having a different max charge for grid vs solar, would allow for much better orchestration between grid and solar. As the professor you should also measure the "loss" between AC charge and AC discharge on the power IN/OUT port. Just by being connected to the SHP2 the batteries will drain a few percentage points everyday (could be improved by shutting down all but one inverter for example until they are required). Not all DPU inverters are equal, on average I see 15% loss between my charge/discharge. But one of my inverters is an outlier at 38% loss. Please keep the data and reviews flowing.

[@user-tl2ub8cz4v]

This is going to be an excellent series. I think a lot of people want to do exactly what you are doing.

[@Godz3211]

[@DougQuarles2023]

Is it possable to just run a gas generator, 240v to the DPU for charging on cloudy days. Then run a 240v out from the DPU to a small breaker box for distributing small loads for off grid living? This is just for a single DPU unit.

[@johnc3225]

Also, your installer who ran your conduit and forgot the cat6, did you a favor, never share the same electrical conduit with a data cable. You run the chance of electromagnetic interference jumping on to your data lines. Ask me how I know! If you do run it parallel, right against it you have to use shielded cat five or six cable.

[@markjob6354]

Hey Doctor Hobo, thanks for doing this video. I look forward to some of your additional and long term testing of this system. I think it's cool you can also use the Smart Home Panel (Ver. 2), with up to 3 older Delta Pros as well. 👍 I like stuff that is backwards compatible with older (Read less expensive) technology.

[@marcusduckworth]

$.74 a kilowatt Mexico near Cancun, blackouts and hurricanes very well worth it

[@csu111]

The Smart panel is $1899 and the quotes I’ve gotten from electricians so far to install it is around $2000. That’s in addition to the inverters, batteries and solar panels. That’s a lot of extra money. Couldn’t you run the two inverters with the 50amp hub, and back feed to your existing circuit box (albeit w/o the fancy features) and call it a day?

[@HOBOTECH]

Yep but then you have none of the smart features and no grid charging ability. You could install cheaper by doing what I did and install the panel next to your existing vs replace. Also the panel is a lot cheaper in the bundle with my $800 off code.

[@Robulite]

I asked electricians how much it costs to install a 100A sub panel beside your current panel and you want to move a few circuits to the sub panel from the main. If you tell them it's smart or any of that extra nonsense they assume you have money. You tell them you will provide the subpanel and my quote was $800. And then when he came to install it he charged an extra 100 to put in the conduit for the plug for the battery.

[@jed6937]

Thank you for the feedback!!!

[@mra4107]

Very informative! Curious to see how this would work with a bidirectional charging setup with an electric car (this unit plus a Decebel R16 or Quasar 2 bidirectional charger).

[@evarlast]

I need something just a little bigger. 12 circuits is not enough, but 20 would be nice. I've been eying SPAN but this integration with battery seems better. I was ready to buy SPAN, but now I want to wait a year or two. It seems like we are in the middle of another electric revolution.

[@HOBOTECH]

You can do what I did and run a 50A out to a sub panel.

[@rccosplay3249]

Just a FYI, I have 2 Power kits, each connected in parallel to the smart home panel 1 via the power kit infinity cables, NOT available on the Ecoflow website??? Fortunately my Ecoflow dealer had them in stock and works great. basically 7200 watt output @ 230v here in Europe. I can use washer/dryer, water pumps, 2 x 12000btu ac units, some MIG welding, no problem. In the USA/Canada It's gonna be series connection to give the 240v split phase. I highly recommend the Power kits for off grid and RV, Boats. Awesome stuff from Ecoflow💖

[@HOBOTECH]

Not sure if Power Kits can do split phase 240v as required here in the US. I asked them last year, they said there was no way to do it. That's really its only flaw.

[@rant-n-rave7816]

Because of THIS GREAT video I was able to educate my idiot electricians Ecoflow sent to me to install my smart panel 2. Yup, the Ecoflow certified electricians they sent to my house said they’ve never installed internet to the prior panels and all there prior installs the customer just wanted it without a cat6 cable. I called BS because you can’t just install the panel and leave without going through the app to program it. WHAT ARE YOU SENDING ME ECOFLOW!!!! They are still installing and have been here all day. I showed them this video and asked them WTH are you doing? Yes, I’m out here in Commifornia and these guys are stupid!

[@DaCrunkwizard]

They probably didn't want to run that line. It's extra work and they probably don't get paid. Yes, a wired connection is the best for Internet connectivity. They may be able to use a amplifier hooked to a 120v receptacle. It has a cat 5 connection. I have only used this method with enphase systems. I am a Electrician and have installed solar systems. I have computer, cell phone and Computer software experience. I plan to provide this type of grid less system that involves less if the power company and service company to empower My customers. Good luck everyone.

Of course, when I get one of those or 2 of those, I'll get the hub. I get the home panel and I hope each. I'll actually hook it up to the hub. Just to hook it up to the home panel. Just so I actually have a 50 amp plugin for a 50 amp plugin. Not a 30 amp 2 off 50AMP to make A50AM. Then plug it into a 50 amp plug in home panel that it works.

I saw in the video that you are in Arizona. Can the smart home panel be mounted outside? I still think that I would keep the power supplies inside because of the heat but given that my circuit breaker panel is outside, I would probably have to mount the smart home panel outside too.

I read through different comments and replies you gave.

I have a 400 square foot cabin with a 100 amp panel and nothing that goes over 120v as well as less than 12 breakers. I would love to put this in and use the original delta pros with it.

[@HOBOTECH]

I had issues with mine early on (being a prototype) but firmware has made it very stable. You can do what I did, and just run one SHP2 breaker to power your original box. If you have a failure of some kind, you can physically switch it back easy.

[@motofunk1]

Why does the smart home panel have a generator / grid interlock? When grid power goes out the panel gets power from the batteries. When on batterie backup, how does the panel not backfeed the grid connection? If there is a way to cut off the backfeed, why isn't that same mechanism used to cut the grid backfeed when a generator is feeding the panel?

[@HOBOTECH]

It's for bad weather days when solar won't work. You hook a 120v/240v generator (or other power source) to charge the batteries. It doesn't back feed because the panel has a built in auto transfer switch.

[@papavilla]

Is charging speed from “grid” any different if you have 2 DPU’s and the SHP2? I know you covered charging the DPU via 120v & 240v in the 1st video, but the biggest drawback for me is only being able to charge my DPU (1 inverter, 1 battery) at 1800w using 120v while outputting 240v via inverter. I know you can charge at 3000w via 240v, but it turns the output circuits off. If I could charge faster from “grid” while still keeping my 240v output it would be very helpful.

[@HOBOTECH]

Yes, the integration kit allows the home panel to charge the DPU with 120v grid/gen while still providing 240v output. The home panel disables the DPU outlets, so you can only pull AC from the home panel. I was able to charge both DPUs at 3600w each simultaneously.

[@dbnoho]

Questions that someone can hopefully answer. So if I have solar panels on my roof. Do they go straight into this Unit, or am I plugging this into an outlet when the solar panels on the roof are active and I’m actually just pulling from an outlet that is pulling from solar? Does this do the entire, 20 millisecond transfer time? In a blackout does this instantly run everything without me moving from the couch? Can this power everything. We have a large house but don’t use everything all at once. But we have 3 floors, 3 AC units. And about 4600 square feet. So, can I make the smart panel transfer everything from the main panel and just, time of use this thing? Because I was sold on the power wall. Then I waited for the Anker x1. (Which they cared more about form than function. And they aren’t releasing prices) But this could be great if I’m pulling from the panels. (And I can add a second panel set up on top of the shed) to pull power. Then switch everything to this and say, 18kwh or backup batteries after 6pm. Coast on the dpu to power our house until the sun is shining again. And then never deal with Time of use charges. So if anyone sees the questions there and knows the answers let me know. Thanks for everyone help.

I do have a question, at 10:55 of your video you are showing your Smart Home Panel 2 install, it appears that you are using in breaker spot 2 a tandem or split breaker. is that true? That would allow you to almost double your circuit counts. However you would not have individual control on each circuit on port 2 so if you turn off circuit 2 electronically both circuits on circuit 2 would shut off. Also, what is the max Amp on the Smart Home Panel 2 would it support 200amp as a main panel ion a home?

Talk about expense... power goes out without a unit and your freezer full of Organic beef all thaws ... now how. much did it cost them to not be independent. (inflation aside). Taxation should be illegal.

[@jimfields9491]

Been waiting for the ridiculous prices to come down. Im guessing the breaker box is a massive pain in the #%€ to install considering that every video skips over the wiring part. But with all the complaints Im hearing about Echo Flo I’ll probably pull the trigger on the Anchor 3800 if they ad pass through charging.

[@HOBOTECH]

The good old days of cheap easy money are gone. Welcome to inflation and high taxation. Wiring is easy. It's 4 wires + network cable. It's running the cable that's a pain.

[@jimfields9491]

@@HOBOTECH why didn’t they simply pre wire it like a Reliance? Which is what I will most likely use.

[@HOBOTECH]

It is pre-wired... You add your own breakers and you're done.

You can't roll back your meter with this inverter. It's NOT a grid tie inverter.

Over Priced! Better to buy an EG4 6000XP!

[@ericfitzsimmons1202]

I agree.

[@michaelmartin9022]

While if I was building a home I'd be very tempted by EG equipment (especially that mini-split that plugs directly into solar panels!), but the Ecoflow also has sockets on the front ready to go, you can plug the fridge right into it if you need to. But once you're getting all involved with direct connections to your home circuits, I suppose it gets equally as involved either way.

[@ericfitzsimmons1202]

@michaelmartin9022 I like it, but it is expensive compared to a self build

[@danielteegarden8982]

ok..... $16,000.00 dollars divided by 365 ( days per year ) = 43.835616 divided by $4.00 ( a day electrical charge ) = 10.95890 years to pay for the Ecoflow 7200 Delta Pro. and Panel . ' OUTDATED BEFORE EVEN HAFT PAID FOR " OK , BUT NO THANKS.

[@HOBOTECH]

The system is $6699 after my discount and about $4800 after tax credits.
