PLUG & PLAY SOLAR FOR OFF-GRID & VANLIFE - ECOFLOW Modular POWER KIT REVIEW

Building a solar power system has always needed a lot of skill and technical knowledge...until now...This is the first system that is truly plug and play & perfect for a complete solar off-grid power system for Cabins, RV's Van Builds, Boats & Tiny Houses. A very cool way to solve a complicated problem.

I have been on Youtube since the very beginning. I lived about 2 miles from their offices in the day. Anyhow, I might be in the very tip tier of people who have logged in more views than 90% of the viewers today. Have had a lot of time on my hands all these years. Might be at a... billion? Seems like it anyhow. What I am getting at is -

THIS is one of the very best channels I have ever found on YT. No BS.

I think what I love the most is HOW you present - sweet and to the point - moving on... its about the lesson, the product, etc - and not about "me" which so many channels do - its a waste of the viewers time. At my age I have forgotten more than most of the influencing Youtubers will ever have to learn about, well, just about everything. I can build a house, a boat or a tree fort with basic tools. A kid of the 70's, 80's and in a time when work was the third thing younthought about everyday, but without being able to do your job, you couldnt get the other two. But seriously, theres no work or time restraint ethics anymore. Am I ranting like an old man? Well, I am. The point is, TIME is now my most valued resource - Im getting less and less of it. 🤭

You - just lay it down. Thats the facts, heres how it works, and in the least amount of time. You would have a great Saturday morning television show on PBS. Like one of those Road And Track shows - they dont waste a second of the viewers time.

And so, not to waste any more of anyone elses time, and be accused of it myself, I just wanted to give you a 5 star rating as the kids say these days. Thanks for all your knowledge and time and hard work. 😎👍

I recently priced out a similar sized DIY system and this isn't too bad price wise. The key difference is that a DIY server rack system will scale far more cheaply when 5 kWh EG4's are going for just $1500. However, most people don't need more than 10-15 kWh and a 4000W output for their builds, and these are self heating batteries unlike those EG4's. Having everything fully integrated with an app that isn't complete junk like all the other units i've used is worth any premium alone, the easy hardware setup is just a bonus.

Also, this is the only unit I know of where you can connect AC, solar, alternator, generators and batteries all at the same time and it will just "figure it out" for you for the most part.

This is what I need for my lawn care crews. Very clean, simple to install.

really like seeing what eco flow is doing. really looking forward to seeing what they end up coming out with for full home systems.

[outtadarkness]

I appreciate the detail you go into in your product reviews. Thank you for the effort you put into these product reviews.

[justincase]

This technology will only get better and makes solar far more practical than it has been previously because of needing a battery room and some technical knowledge to maintain your system. Looks good. But I'll wait until it becomes more affordable. Great vid.👍

I had to pause the video at about the 1-minute mark.
You said something like: There are plenty of folks out there who will do this for you, but they will charge you thousands of dollars.
YOU ARE ABSOLUTELY CORRECT!
Electricions, plumbers, welders, masons, contractors, truck drivers, heavy-equipment-operators, landscapers, lawn-cutters, etc. On and on. (Try to find a Chimney-sweep!)
I have a BA in Philosophy.
An MA in Psychology.
A JD in Law.
Retired Judge.
And I tell my sons (who built a blast-furnace with an old barbecue and a shop-vac on exhaust): Screw college! DO STUFF!

I'm an electrician and glad they are making this, so that costs for the system can go down long term

[glennr]

Plug-n-play is a great idea for solar power. Looking forward to when it is also competitively priced. Until then, I'll happily do the wiring myself.

[drpgfki]

Love those proprietary cables. Going to be super easy to modify and replace.

[aliabbadi]

Always excited to your videos. Keep them coming buddy.

[PershijsmachnijKherson]

Hello, great to see you upload your amazing video again! Good luck and have a nice weekend 🌺🌺🌺👍

[williamrucki]

Your stated battery capacities are off by three decades but the text box listed it correctly.

[icamtoseeyou]

That control panel looks pretty good. Seems like all the information you need is displayed clearly and brightly.

[MyChannel-vmdw]

Very compelling video. Can you do another video showing very carefully how you're hooking up solar to this? Are you doing series are you doing parallel?? Show us

[Striperman]

Considering what guys in the lawn care community are spending on battery powered lawn mowers now a days this is actually a good deal

[captainawesome]

Are standard voltronic/axpert all in one inverter chargers not a thing in USA? They are cheap and easily supply 5000w each.

[haroldward]

Your communicating skills is a declaration of your being one with the subject matter. Hopefully, I will be shortly purchasing some of the products you presented on your YouTube channel. God BLESS YOU and your family.

[gordonlowe]

Is it possible to trickle charge the unit from a 12 volt battery in an EV like a Tesla or does it have to be sourced from an actual alternator?

[munozinni]

Gracias señor Silver Cymbal I always enjoy your reviews even if I don’t understand the technical numbers of wattage I only want to know if I can run a 3 bedroom 2 bathroom ( washer, dryer.. microwave ., refrigerator and AC unit with gas heater???
