How to Achieve Energy Backup with Ecoflow and Solar

My friend Dave implemented an Ecoflow Power Station and Solar to power his house. Check out his Ecoflow implementation.

He bought an Ecoflow Delta2 Max power station, added four solar panels on a rack system, had an electrician install a switch at the breaker box to switch between the grid power and the solar power, and also added a power hookup in the wall.

Let’s break it down.

He bought an Ecoflow Delta2 Max from Amazon with an extra battery option.

This is the Ecoflow Delta2 Max (now on sale). It has 2048 Watt hours.

And this is the Ecoflow Delta2 Max with an extra battery, bumping it up to 4096 Watt hours.

For solar, he added 4 double sided solar panels. Although the panels are angled, the double sided panels gather some power even as it is reflected off the ground in the back. They were installed on a rack system.

A power combiner box with breakers was added to the rack system, as shown above.

He dug a trench and ran the power to the house in a conduit.

Power it up!

An electrician installed a switch at the breaker box to switch between the grid power and the solar power, and also added a power hookup in the wall.

Upgraded!

Then Dave decided that he wanted to run the air conditioner off of solar in the Summer. So he upgraded to a larger Ecoflow Pro 3 with an extra battery to be able to run 220w power. Now he can run off of full solar for a couple of days.
