Update! After getting the latest firmware, there is an option for the inverter to always be on. Really excited about this. Will test with solar tomorrow when the sun comes up. I hope it works!

100% agree that there needs to be an ability to turn the inverter back on automatically. I learned this by starting as a novice to solar by getting the AC200P for my unattended out-of-state off-grid camping setup. I loved it right until the first time there were a few rainy days in a row while I was gone, and the inverter shut off. That meant no remote monitoring or power for anything else there until I could return.

very good review and comparison. I shared your prior review of the EG4 system to my son and he surprised me by saying "He ordered the parts" to do a system. I will be sharing this on a large preparedness website forum. Thank you

[jedd.]

Will, I bought your basic book on RV Solar Battery systems. Thank you for posting some excellent videos that at times kinda get way over my head (real quick). You remind me of the kid that I take my iphone to when I need to be shown how to do something and really have no clue! As a retired teacher, you're the best!

I've had my Delta Pro for two months now running an 8000 btu midea inverter ac. Absolutely zero problems. Hooked it to 1 kw of used santan panels and have only had to charge it once in two months from ac. Originally planned to use as solar backup power here in FL.
Thanks for the review!

I’ve been using some EcoFlow products for a few months now, a couple of delta pro/s, delta mini/s and delta 1300 as well as river pro and some smaller jackery units. In my case since all devices are hooked up to solar via xt60 connectors, I appreciate the Wi-Fi capability of some of the EcoFlow products as the unit will turn on automatically when solar energy is detected. So if a unit ran out of stored energy, I let it charge up to a certain level and can remotely turn on any outlets via the app. Seems like the same functionality needs to be added to the a/c input of the delta pro to allow for additional usability
Edit: and of course, thank you for all you do for the DIY solar community, without you am not sure I would be this adventurous with solar, thx for making it simple and sharing all the knowledge it is greatly appreciated!

My God. Will has like a megawatt hour of storage in his garage.

[corydwagner]

I recommended the Delta Pro to a guy who has a cabin he goes to on weekends and for vacation a couple of weeks during the summer. He uses them as emergency backup at his in-town property most of the time. But when the family heads to the cabin, they throw (well, team lift) the Delta Pros into the SUV and take them with. When vacation is over, the Ecoflows com back to town.

[johnhahn]

Will has surpassed us all. Hopefully the Professor will start teach courses at a college. He is a renewable energy expert

[zfontain]

Nice review, gives people the proper knowledge.

[elwoodgaming]

I have to agree that the build quality on the Delta Pro is top notch.

[FilAmGabe]

Hey Will 👋. We finished our system in the Philippines and now back in Henderson

I watch all your videos so I can learn something, but the more I watch the more I realize how little I know, and every couple of months something new comes out. But I am leaning towards the DIY route of building my own setup.

[molivil]

Will, according to my experience the Bluetti AC200Max, turns off AC output once it has been discharged to 0%, then turns AC output back on automatically once it has charged up to 5%. I had this happen a couple of times, and I was happy to see that behavior.

[Anthony-rcyo]

The 6500 life cycle of the battery is what made me drool over the Delta Pro. Already got one and I am very happy with it.

[AndrewSemple]

Two vids in 1 day!! Keep on learning me Will. Love the comparison, DIY is the way to go in my case.

[kochrd]

I contacted Ecoflow support about running my well pump. It normally runs at 240V and 7 amps. Startup surge is 240V, 22 amps or 5280 watts for about 1 second. They advised me that the 7200 watt surge rating of the Ecoflow Delta Pro is for a maximum duration of 0.36 seconds. So a soft start control may be required for some applications to avoid overloading the Ecoflow.

Hi Will, I have mine stacked and actually work great. If you try it, you will see the rubber feet fit perfectly on top of one underneath. Try it. I have 3 stacked and solid as a rock!

4:30 - the Ac inverter can turn itself back on. Check under "lab features" and there is an option to turn it on. It's called "AC always on."

[kswis]

Holy balls! The amount of lifepo4 in the shot at the 3 min mark is astounding. Excellent video Will, your right, they're totally not ergonomic at all but a nice system. Overpriced imo, the eg4 is the way to go
