Here is my personal install of the EcoFlow Dalta Pro Ultra, installed, up and running with some off-the-cuff banter on setup, functions, and impressions.

  • Great and informative video. Thanks for sharing. I have the basic DPU setup (1 inverter, 1 battery) that I am currently installing with a manual transfer switch. I will expand it appropriately based on my location and wanted functionality going forward. One thing I would highly consider is adding another inverter. More so for redundancy in case of an issue, at least you would still have one inverter to keep you going in the event a problem occurs. Nothing is perfect. I had trouble with my first unit. This also allows you to have more HV panels to expand if you want to be totally off grid in the future. Thanks again.

    I live in the keys, and was considering buying this generator. Trying to learn more about solar.

    This would make a VERY nice alternative to a diesel powered APU for a semi truck.
  • I wish I knew the Tigos were compatible, I ended up going with APsmart for my rapid shutdown needs

    Thank you! I subscribed for more updates on this as you work with it through the years!
  • @lekeKar
    This is awesome, learning about solar and wondering if this is designed specifically for North American markets or can I be bought, shipped and used in somewhere like UK?

    Hi Erick, great setup. I'd like to have a similar installation done for my house in Houston to complement the existing 10 kW PV system. Any recommendation for an experienced installer in Houston, TX?
  • Thanks for the video! Basically a tesla powerwall but portable and you can add!
  • @Zerrudo_
    I want to add this but I have panels with integrated inverters thats grid tied & no bypass switch. I've seen many DIY offgrid systems videos but haven't come across one that addresses my situation.
  • @rw4669
    Did you say that you have all those solar panels arranged in Parallel to keep the Ultra safe? Is that correct? Or did you mean in Series, as the Ultra thats 450v in the HV port and 150v in the LV port. Is the 15amp limit for the Ultra a single battery or the single inverter limit? I hope u didnt misunderstand the system and are at risk. Anyhow, looks like a very nice setup and your well stocked of electric power.
  • @savvy.shane.1
    I like your setup. Thinking of a worst case scenario where grid goes down for an extended period of time, I would prefer to have my heat pump and central air handler on my smart panel so that it is also backed up by battery and solar. You mentioned there is a 60 Amp maximum every three circuits, and my heat pump has a 40 amp rating (variable speed), it sounds like I could make this work in this scenario. What was the reason you decided to not move over your AC to the smart panel?
  • @joelito20
    can this setup run essentials plus 1 18,000btu air conditioner inverter?
  • @MtnXfreeride
    Hi, you say it as if it is powering the whole house, but isnt it only powering the up to 12 breaks on the smart panel?
  • @larrywong7834
    Question. Your DPU is connected to the Smart Panel 2. I noticed your DPU front Outlets are not being used. Can you concurrently(while SP2 is connected) plug in devices to the DPU's front RV 30A port and or the 120v/240v port. ie. heavy watts tools. I guess the 20A ports are a go? You know like keep a coffee pot hot late night while you working in the garage. The happy way___ coffee pot sits on top of the DPU for easy access.

    Nice set up. When deciding to go with EcoFlow what other brands did you cross off the list and why? I’m thinking of doing the same you did.
  • @michaelsais2243
    I’m about to add the solar to my DPU. Can you help me understand your Tigo optimizers and your rapid shutdown system. Ecoflow had told me that the inverter was not compatible with optimizers. I was going to use a quick disconnect switch.
