what's up everybody I'm Average Joe and welcome to another average video today's video we're going to be checking out ecof flow's brand new smart home panel 2 and we're also going to be taking a look at their Delta Pro Ultra we're going to try to cover everything under the Sun so try to keep up and let's get to it all right so what we're looking at here obviously is the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra for the battery and the specifications on that this is 6,000 wats battery chemistry is lithium iron phosphate life cycle on those is 3500 cycles and then of course you still have 80% of the cycle capacity left all right and then the inverter sitting on top that is a 7.2 kilowatt split phase inverter and of course this is a stackable system so you can stack up to five batteries per inverter and if you want to get super crazy you can actually parallel three of these system systems together for 990 KW hour worth of storage that's freaking crazy all right and then we'll move a little bit closer and take a look at all of these little ports right on front door number one this is where you can do a 4G uh you like a USB dongle so if you need to connect that way you can do that these two doors right here are 120 volt 20 amp Outlets this one is backup UPS and this one is online UPS backup UPS means it has a transfer speed up to 20 milliseconds and then online UPS is basically zero transfer time or zero milliseconds open these up you get two 120 volt 20 app outlets and same for this one right here open this one up and that is your standard RV 120 volt 30 amp style plug and then this one right here is your 120 240 30 amp 4-prong plug all right and then finally door number six we open that up we get an Anderson style plug plug 12.6 volt DC up to 30 amp Max right below that we get your low solar PV Port input voltage range on that is 30 to 150 volts DC 15 amp Max that's nice to see just for the low voltage PV input right over here we have a ground screw and then right next to that we have your slow and fast charge again you can adjust this inside the app finally we have your regular AC input for charging Etc this they call the extreme charge port 120 volts 15 amp Max and this plug is just slightly different the prongs are laid off to the side kind of like some server rack style plugs if I didn't mention it before these doors are magnetic so they do stay in place that's pretty nice all the doors have that and what's nice is these doors are removable so you can just pop them right off the little doors won't get in the way and then obviously just pop those doors back on boom and then finally on top you get two USB C ports these are 100 W PDS right here and then you do get some USB a ports right here on the right side of the battery there's not a whole lot here other than two battery expansion ports and then you have a power button which you can hold down for a couple of seconds and turn it on but nothing's really going to happen because you don't really have an inverter connected so I'm just going to turn that back off for now and these doors right here they do slide in out of the way so that is fan freaking tastic all right this is basically battery port one where you would connect it up to the inverter and this is battery port two where you would go down to another battery all right and again these doors are magnetic as well this is the right side of the inverter just above the battery so we have your high voltage PV Port power in and outport and then your battery expansion Port same thing these doors are magnetic and they do slide in to get out of your way the voltage range on here is 80 volts all the way the way up to 450 volts 15 amps or 4,000 watts that is freaking amazing and this also has a little spot that you can put you know like a lock on there so again turn it on turn it off nice next p over is basically if you have the smart home panel this is where you would connect to that or if you had a external generator Hub this is where you would plug in to that and then finally right over here is your battery expansion port and then if we flip it around to the back side right up there on the top you can see some fins and stuff that's for their cooling they have a new cooling system it's called X cooling or something crazy like that basically it's kind of like a laptop where they have all the heat pipes and all that kind of stuff that's basically what they have inside of here of course there is some fans in there to get some airflow going but the really cool thing about this since they are using all the heat pipes and just a couple of fans it's supposed to be super super quiet before we connect the battery up and turn everything on I just going to show you everything that it comes with battery box only comes with this battery connection cable right here that's it everything else right here comes with the inverter so you get your little rolly cart that you can put everything on you get your 120 volt charging cable you get your low PV input solar mc4 connectors with the little tool you get some little tiny stands right there that you can put on the wheelie cart instead of the wheels so if you're going to have a more permanent installation and you know you're not going to be Wheeling this thing around you could install all those and then finally over there you get your cable that connects from the inverter over to a generator Hub or the smart home panel all right and real quick if I did not mention it yet the cart that everything is sitting on right now that cart did not come with this setup that is an optional thing that you can get that's more for if you're like trying to wheel this thing around in different places maybe you're using it outside camping rving just keep in mind this weighs a lot the battery itself weighs 16 16 lb and then you add the inverter on top that's another 70 lb all right so that's a lot of weight to be moving around however you can do it because this is just like a luggage cart it's got the extendable handle on the side you know and then you can move this sucker around all right and then there's also some little tiny wheels on that backside so you can actually you know wheel it around and it's also designed to be put up on its side how crazy is that all right we're going to turn this thing on so we're going to open up the battery expansion ports right here and we're going to grab that small cable which is awesome because it is a 90° cable this is fan freak tastic this is what everybody should be doing we don't want them big ass cables coming out anyway we're going to grab the cable we are going to plug it in top and bottom and if you want this a little more anti-tamper proof or kid proof tighten down these little screws right here which will fully secure the cable into the battery and the inverter all right so up here on the top where the display is you're going to hold down the power button for 3 seconds to turn it on I have turned mine on a few times and I've already had it set up in the app so the AC will turn on automatically whenever you first turn on yours the AC is not going to turn on so here we go all right so all this is pretty self-explanatory so we got your input and output in Watts right in the center we got your percent state of charge and then whatever load you're running it'll tell you your time remaining right down here and of course you need to turn on your DC Port so you can do that shows up right there that's for your USBS the Anderson connector and stuff right off to the side all right and that's pretty much all we have right here all right and obviously there's going to be a few different ways that you can use this boom what we have here is the eego flow smart home panel 2 this is basically a sub panel that you would have installed at your house and it is a smart panel smart panel basically means it it's it can do a whole bunch of stuff and I'm going to try to hit you know some of it in this video I think there's just way too much to go over in one video you know to include the inverter and the battery and all that kind of stuff I just want to say real quick that this is sexy the front is glass you know obviously it says Eco flow right up here it's just a really nice sub panel all right anyway open it up boom all right so here's the main part of the panel you have a grid side and a generator side if you were doing that and of course it does come with the generator lockout right here so if you wanted to use the generator you have the generator circuit breaker installed up to 50 amps you would disconnect your grid circuit breaker right here slide this down and then flip on your generator breaker that's only if you're using that the rest you know is just like a regular subpanel you're going to install circuit breakers for whatever room Appliance Etc that you want to power in a case of emergency something that you're just trying to power off grid permanently you know you can install that all right here and you don't have to do single circuits you can do double pull circuits you know for like an air conditioning a well pump a heater a dryer you know whatever you want I would say that's pretty freaking awesome all right so here's the sticker that's right behind the door the ecoflow smart home panel 2 model number is efp d303 120 240 at 60 HZ 100 amps the enclosure type is Nema 3r rain proof so you can put this panel outside and then of course the battery connection box that's attached to the bottom of this panel is only Nema type 1 it is not waterproof recommended Breakers right over here 15 20 30 40 50 60 amp Breakers and then it's got your you know your standard cable sizes if I zoom out just a little bit you can see it does have a nice seal around the door and then also this door doesn't have to swing to one side you can actually reverse the door so you can put these right right over here and then of course your hinges and stuff would also go to the other side so you can have your door open up the other way all right and then if we go right down here on the bottom of the sub panel this is called your battery connection box this is what I said earlier that is Nema type 1 this right here is not waterproof so if you're going to be installing your subpanel outside or in the weather Etc this bottom box is removable and you would want to install this basically out of the weather you know inside this is where you're going to be connecting up all of your Delta Pro Ultras a generator EV charging Etc you're going to plug into one of these three ports right down here just like I said earlier you know if you have three Ultras you're going to plug one into each one of these you know if you have three that's 90 KW hour worth of storage and 21 KW worth of power out of your inverter obviously you can see right here we do have a grid LED right there right in the center we have a resume pause button and then right over here we have an error led to let you know if there's any problems one thing I I guess I didn't mention which is pretty obvious is since this is a smart panel you can connect with Bluetooth or your home Wi-Fi which is also going to connect to your app of course on your phone from there you can pretty much control everything of course I keep thinking about all sorts of stuff that you could do with a smart panel like if you have some really annoying kids that won't get off the internet or they won't go to bed cuz they're watching TV you can just go right into your app turn it off I think that would be pretty hilarious and awesome at the same time obviously there's a whole host of things that you could do time of use you can use this as a backup you know if the grid goes down or if you're just trying to save some money and start going off grid full off grid you know you can start with this right here there's even some stuff where you can set up in there if the grid goes out you can have certain circuits be a priority so like let's say my refrigerator I want that to be on all the way until the battery is zero let's say my Island for example if I didn't need power to that circuit I can program it in there if the grid goes down that can shut off at a specific battery percent state of charge because you know you're not going to need power to that circuit you can set it up however you want which is amazing to me there's so much stuff there's so much stuff you can do with this all right so to hook this up to the smart home panel we're going to go through the power in outport right here so open that up slide the door in and then we're going to grab this cable right here one end is just going to go right here boom and then up on the smart home panel you can choose any one of these I'm going to go right for the center so I just plug that right in and then all we do from here is hit this little button right here to connect it and once that green light stays lit we are connected boom there we go and one thing I'll mention down here is the AC output light turns off because you cannot use any of the AC outputs down down here on the unit anymore we're also going to connect up some solar panels we're going to go through the high voltage input Port right here on the side now again keep in mind it's like January 5th it's cold out it's super cloudy and I don't think there's any sun whatsoever so we're not going to get very much solar at all but we might as well connect it up all right here we go boom you can see we're connecting right over here off to the side and we are already start charging so so out of the array that's there now we're only getting 184 WTS but again we're almost full charged so we might only get 186 Watts out of the array all right before we actually start powering a bunch of stuff I was just going to show you the app real quick and I'll put it up on the screen so you guys can see it all right so at this current time I've got the beta version all right whenever you guys get it you're going to be using the the full version all right so anyway if we just click on the battery it'll just basically give give you all the specs just like it does for all the other ecoflow batteries it's basically the same so I'm going to back out of here and then we're going to go up to the smart panel all right so inside of here the eight circuits that I actually have connected right here it's a good portion of my house it's most of the things that I would want to use or have either in a power outage or stuff that I want to keep off grid and right now with everything that I'm running in my house I'm only drawing 1,00 Watts maybe a little bit less and you can see it from the left going through the panel and then out to the house which is on the right you got your AC 1 2 and 3 that's these ports right here and you can see we're connected in the center one so it shows up in the center if we click on that it'll just give you some more information you can turn that on and off that's basically this switch right here I don't think we want to do that right now but if you do that's okay it's just going to disconnect the inverter and battery and stuff down here if you're still powered by the grid everything's going to stay connected you know as it is right under here is your charge Now function okay so you can turn that on or off we don't really need to do that cuz we're basically full charged back on the home screen if we just kind of scroll up you can see your total savings your home how much you've used on that panel so far how much for battery how much for grid you know if you use a generator and then there's tasks which you can set up which I don't have any set up that's basically if you want certain circuits or the whole panel to go off grid come back on grid stuff like that you can set up tasks to do that right in there so each one these boxes you can also click on it'll tell you your savings in there it'll tell you your total consumption right in here you know it just gives you information on basically basically everything back out of that and then over here under circuits this is where you can go in and name each one of your circuits that you have installed in here I do not have circuits 9 10 11 and 12 I left those ones open because later on probably in like a month or two when we start getting actual Sun I'll probably try to run the air conditioning the stove or a dryer I can connect up more solar to this it'll kind of make it a little more worth it so I just left those blank for now anyway you can go in and name one of those you can click on each thing you can go in there and like I was saying before if you wanted to shut off the power to your kids TV Etc you can do that with that power button right there you just hit it boom shut them up just like that or maybe they'll be a little more whiny I don't know there's just so much stuff that you can do in here it's crazy uh if you go into the settings obviously you're going to set up all sorts of stuff in here we can go into operating mode you can have your backup Reserve right now I've got mine set up to have a 20% Reserve let's see if you want to go off- grid you're going to hit the self powered button that's going to basically put you off grid you can do scheduled tasks again pause it if you want to read that and then down here toou mode again pause it if you want to read that outage strategy all right so in here which I don't have set up yet is where you would set up your circuits that you want to be powered whenever the grid goes down like your refrigerator we' want to keep that one connected all the time in the winter time since I have a gas furnace I would want to keep the furnace connected up all the time because I don't want to freeze after that once the battery starts getting lower I can start cutting more circuits that's where you would set that up in here obviously you can set your charge limit your charging power you can set this all all the way up to 7,200 EPS mode if you're using this for a UPS basically you want to have that enabled what that means is if the grid goes down this is going to automatically switch over to the battery in the inverter within that 20 millisecond time if that switch is not enabled basically your house is going to shut down for a couple of seconds and then repower up I learned that already anyway you got generator settings in here you know and then all of your firmware Etc there's just there's just so much stuff you can do in here all right we're going to go ahead and get this party started and I was going to show you the three ways that you can connect up the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra whether you're using it for a battery backup or you're trying to go off grid option number one is going through a protr transfer switch just like this right over here I know there's many different models out there but this is just an example you would use something like this in an emergency where you just needed to power a couple of circuits this one has four 120 volt circuits and one 240 volt circuit you know for like a well pump or really anything that you would need 240 volts to connect that you would use your 30 amp generator plug right off the front of the inverter and you just plug it in right there all right and if you're going through this option right here that only allows you to use basically one full stack of batteries and one inverter number two is going through a 50 amp generator plug typically you would have something like this installed outside where you would connect up a gas or diesel generator and also whenever you use that you also need a generator lockout right here this basically prevents you from powering your house or the grid from two different sources all right basically you have to shut off your main lift the switch up and then turn on your generator breaker all right and then in order to use that option you actually need to go through their ecoflow generator Hub this allows you to connect up to two stacks or 10 batteries two inverters uh one stack basically goes to these two ports right here and then you plug in your 50 amp generator plug from here and then you can go right into your plug right here which we are going to do the only reason we're going to do that actually is because I want to try to run my stove air conditioning and dryer I don't actually have those connected up over here at this time because it's January and we don't have a whole lot of sun right now honestly to kind of make it worth it so that's really the only reason we're going to be doing that right over here then the third option obviously is connecting up right down here to the ecoflow smart panel this allows you to connect up three stacks all right so 90 KW hour worth of battery again like I said I've only got eight circuits connected right now I don't have my stove air conditioning and dryers which we'll do at a later date but if I do connect to this generator Port right here I can power my entire house which includes everything in the smart panel there's actually one other option where you can get a hub similar to this I should be getting that probably here in the future where you can still use your eco flow Deltas to plug into the smart home panel so this is an option you still will be able to use your ecoflow Deltas over here first thing we're going to do just to show you that it does work is we are going to connect up to the protr once I show you that's working correctly we're going to disconnect that and then we're going to connect up to the 50 amp generator Port right here and power all the big stuff all righty let's get to it all right option one we're going to plug right into the 240 volt 30 amp plug right here so we're we're going to take our 30 amp plug plug it in give it a little twist take the other end plug it right into the port right here give that a little twist we'll lift this up I don't have anything connected to this one right now but basically all we're going to do is go up all right so we're connected to the transfer switch right over there we go down right to the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra and if we zoom in we're drawing 297 Watts that's basically right now a couple of Lights to refrigerators my cable modem router stuff like that all right so if we basically just left it at the 450 W output you can see we can run for roughly 13 hours and 38 minutes obviously this is going to go up and down all right we're going to go ahead and flip this back over so we can use the 50 amp generator Port right here all right step one is plugging in the cable directly into the side of the inverter step two is going to be plugging into the generator Hub right here I know it's a little sideways on the screen but that's all I can do we'll plug that in right there and next thing we're going to do is plug in our 50 amp generator cord right here which I already had previously and the other side goes right in here plug it in give a little twist next thing we got to do is turn on the power that should go solid there we go now we got power out to the cord all right last thing we got to do is turn off the grid power and then flip up the generator lockout and turn on the generator circuit breaker once we do that will be fully off grid and running straight off the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra all right here we go shut off the main flip this up and then go to generator power boom there we go now we're running my entire house off of the ecoflow Delta Pro Ultra all righty first thing we're going to power since we're down here in my basement is my dryer and I'm pretty sure these can draw upwards of 6,000 Watts all right so there's the specs it's a whirl pole 240 volts and it can draw up to 24 amps all right what do we think Buddy can we can it do it can it do it oh you're kind of scared all right turn it on all right we're on high and here we go look at that nice it did it and none of the lights even flickered like at all like not even the slightest she's working just fine no problem at all nice all righty so it does a dryer just fine boom there you go 4 ton air conditioning with the soft start is running and look at that we still have a little leftover snow out there nice all right we don't need this anymore that's just silly we actually need to warm it back up to 71 all right next we're going to do my stove so we're just going to go right to the front large burner uh let's go for this front one right here let's try this rear burner back here all right we're going to go for this burner too all right so look at that we can power all burners on high oh there we go we just shut off the power all right now I'm curious to see if it'll turn back on which I don't think it will that's all right you could definitely do two burners at once we come down here and check on here 86% AC is on oh it's basically this switch right here I believe all right so if you overload it using the Hub right here you have to come back down here and turn it back on all right so we are back online next thing we're going to do is turn on the upper oven right up here so we'll go to bake 350 and we'll start that one that's basically the upper oven right here we're going to go ahead and turn on the lower oven and see if that one will turn on as well 350 start boom there we go we have both ovens on and they're both heating up upper one is just a regular oven and the bottom one is a convection oven I'm not really sure what the difference is but they're both on okay I don't know how long I'm going to sit here and wait but all right well there you go you can power your oven no problem all right now that we know they can run a stove air conditioning and dryer I think we are good to go so basically what I'm going to do next is shut everything down and disconnect it from the 50 amp outlet right over here and then we're going to hook it back up normally and go right up into the smart panel right here turn off the Hub all righty and then your normal connection is just plugging this guy right in here wait for a couple of clicks and then we can turn it on and connect it right here that should go full green all right now we're fully connected back to the smart home panel right here we're still on grid at the moment we're not running you know off battery or anything like that which we could technically do real quick if you want to see it switch over all right I turned off my battery operated lights right here so you can see just the light lights that are around me what I'm going to do next is flip the breaker over here and simulate a power outage and you can see how fast it switches over all right so let me go over here to this panel over here and I'm going to basically disconnect it from the grid and we're going to switch back over right over here ready yeah you didn't see anything at all and I was just going to show you what everything looks like on the app all right so pop that up on the screen and you can see right over here it says we're using the battery back up you know as a reserve because the grid is out all right so my house and everything that I've got plugged in I'm drawing a little over 2,000 watts and I also want to mention that it is completely silent even though we're only drawing 2,000 Watts it's completely silent which is pretty freaking awesome if you ask me all right you can also see that we are inputting 330 WS of solar all right well there you go if you want to see the circuits and what they're drawing right now kitchen is 75 WTS front room 55 WTS TV room 50 WT fridge is drawing 120 WT and my little basement area over there with my computer and all the crap that I have on over there that's basically where all my power is being drawn from I'm actually recharging another Power Station over there at 1,000 WTS plus my computer and all that kind of stuff all right I guess we will see what happens whenever we flip it back on or let's say the grid finally came back and of course if I didn't mention it for I mean there's obviously a transfer switch built right in to this panel so that's how it goes from either battery or grid all right so when we do this you should see this LED light right here turn from red to White and it's going to transfer over all right here we go let's give it a couple seconds all right that was like four or five seconds for it to sink and transfer over you want to see it go back off grid one more time it's pretty much instant we'll go back on and there we go back on grid there might be one other thing I could show you in here we can go into let's see right here and we can hit the charge now button all right we had a couple clicks this LED light right here turned from green to yellow and we are now recharging from grid and solar on the screen here you can see I've got it set to recharge at 800 wats which we could probably change real quick charging power all right we'll go down here and we'll just bring that up to 3500 W all right so there you go there's just tons of stuff that you can do with this all right I don't really want mine to recharge that fast so I'm going to bring that back down all right well there you go hopefully that was a good enough demonstration like I keep saying there's just so much stuff that you can do with this it's kind of mindboggling there's a couple things I still want to try out or at least one thing I want to try out is the time of use I'd like to try that for like a week and see how that goes and the other thing I'd like to try or at least set up is uh whenever the grid goes out where you can set up different circuits to shut off based on your battery percent state of charge I think that would be pretty awesome to set up all right I'm just going to shut up now because obviously I could just keep on going so to wrap up this video I'd love to hear all of your questions comments and concerns I'd love to hear your thoughts on the brand new smart panel 2 and of course the Delta Pro Ultra and obviously if anybody's interested in the system I'm going to have affiliate links down below actually a couple of coupon codes where you can save quite a bit actually all right that's it I promise don't forget to like that smash button and I will see you on the next um um uh uh all right so here we go [Music] um ch
