I will be installing what I believe is a “simple” panel system. I have 2 Ecoflow Delta Pros with extra battery for each (14+kw). I want to roof mount (6) 425w panels into 2 separate arrays, connected in series, to charge each generator. I have searched online and watched several installation...
Not surprisingly, IRS explanations are as clear as our opaque skies…
The only clear reg I see is your “system” must be at least 3kw. My set up is 14kw, but I only have 640w of panels currently (plan on upgrading soon). Has/Is anyone taken/taking the credit on anything similar? Not expecting...
I have two DP with extra battery each (14kw) connected to double voltage hub, connected to panel via generator outlet using interlock. Wanting to see how these units perform, I have, a few times, powered the whole house at night (no cooking/running dryer, etc). Basically, one fridge, two...
I’ve seen dozens of roof mounting vids and, without exception, the mentioned truss measurement is 24” on center. My garage roof is 16” OC (with 8” tongue and groove underlay not plywood). I need my rails to be 12’. Do I need to place clamps every 16 or will every 32 work? Thanks!
Jumping in here…I contacted ecoflow cust serv and was to the 150v is a hard limit but over amping is ok, controller will just accept 15. However, I have seen a few folks here say don’t go over amps either. So confusing….
Thanks for the advice. Perusing the forum, I’ve learned that cold increases voltage, though not clear on voltage increase/temp below optimum ratio. Living in CT temp avg in winter is approx 35 but I’ve seen 10 below on occasion…. Would being sure to not exceed, say, 120v at optimum input be a...
Thanks. It seems that over amping is not an issue, but I’ve seen a couple posts warning the possibility. Will be checking with customer service (which, so far has been great) but wanted to see some “real world” experience, too.
Total novice here. I have 2 delta pros with 1 extra battery each, and (4) 160w panels setup in backyard. These panels have produced up to 600+ watts under total sun conditions, but really, how long does total sun last…. So, I want to put 3200 watt array (essentially 2 1600 watt for each unit) on...
I have attempted to find a solar install company in my area to simply mount 6-8 panels on my garage roof to be able to charge my EF Delta Pros and batteries. Most won’t even call or email back even to say no. Others listen to what I am asking for and then either say no or ignore me until I go...
Well….its not on all the time but I do run it often, overnight, to alleviate my electric bill (Connecticut highest electric costs in the lower 48). And I charge using the solar majority of the time…
I’ve been searching for panels to power my 2 EF Delta Pros and batteries. I am limited by a few factors:
The space available on my garage roof, approx 22x22.
Need (2) 1600w +/- arrays. I figure 8 400w +/- panels
Ability to pick them up within a couple hundred miles to avoid astronomical shipping...
Thanks, I figured. I’ve tried a couple handyman sites but bupkus. Perhaps an ad in a local paper, but that’s so “old fashioned”☺️. Hopefully will find someone, somewhere soon.
Well, if you’re a “solar wizard”, I’m betting you do understand the question. Perhaps my question was too vague, or perhaps you’ve spent countless hours researching and trial n error and are annoyed with folks who don’t or won’t put in the same effort. So, if your goal was to make me feel...
My first inclination was to reverse the use of the connector used to connect two panel sets to one input, but ecoflow support said “nope”. Is there a way to “split” panel input to 2 Delta Pros? If so, how?
I see this thread goes back several months, but I’ll post here and see what happens: I have two DP with extra battery each (14kw) connected to double voltage hub, connected to panel via generator outlet using interlock. Wanting to see how these units perform, I have powered the whole house at...

I am trying, with exasperation, to find a company that will simply install approx. 8 400w panels on my roof to connect to my 2 Delta Pros. They all seem to want to sell full blown grid tied or whole house battery systems, which I understand (that’s where the money is), but geez Louise…. Anyone...
So, I understand the increase in voltage with temps below STC, but (and the answer is probably self explanatory) is there a similar “degradation” of voltage when temps go above the 25c mark?
.58?! That must happen with the “peak hours” thing. Otherwise, my comment is ancient news. It’s close to .37kw, 24/7. My lowest month this past year was 460kw and the bill was around $170. In the summer, with 3 window a/c, it’s closer to 1100kw for a month.
