- JerryRigEverything HQ is Officially OFF GRID! Get Prepared With EcoFlow US! Now click the link below to Save up to $1,499 and use my code EFDCJERRY5 for an extra 5% OFF (except Flash Sale products), until September 27th. EcoFlow US: bit.ly/3stPlEw EcoFlow Amazon: bit.ly/45Cibkv huge thanks to EcoFlow for supporting the channel. Ive wanted to take my office building off grid for awhile now - but with how complex and expensive batteries can be, I'm glad I waited. The new EcoFlow Delta Pro system is modular, portable, and inexpensive. PLUS doesnt require Wi-Fi or an app to work. Its a completely plug and play battery backup system. Is the EcoFlow Delta Pro better than a Tesla Powerwall? Well - its portable, available, and easy to install. And The EcoFlow Delta Pro doesn't require professional activation. So for me personally - Id have to go with a yes! Tesla Powerwall can take a back seat on this one.

I love him just nonchalantly handing us cookies every now and then while explaining. What a considerate host.
And also casualy saying he has an autograph of Buzz Aldrin
Love his videos, but I haven’t received my cookie yet. Will check my email again.
You can see him fight the smile and laugh everytime he does it too. The first time he did it I bet he had to do a couple takes. Cause he just about laughed then too. Lol. I love it.
Cambry not eating them as he does 😅
I hope you have cookies enabled.
You could definitely hear the acoustics change when you walked into the studio. I definitely appreciate seeing behind the scenes. It shows all of the hard work we don't get to see.
Yeah! That foam on the wall works wonders.
i always wondered why my gf had that in her bedroom
@@bobedwards8896 wait just a second.... 🤨
Props to Editor Devin at 8:32 for fooling me into thinking all of those additional units were real😉
I think it's Devin
@@Av_xNinjaI checked closed captioning, it is indeed Devin, lol
@@Av_xNinja Ah my bad
I thought the same too!
Until you see the shadow on the unit
Jerry could start a UA-cam channel around any niche and it'll blow up because of his voice. I'm truly convinced of that.
Always reminds me of Agent Smith....mister Anderson
@@JaSon-wc4pnhe could narrate TV shows.
@@shikharkapoor8165 he could read the phone book..... I'd listen to it to fall asleep lol
He could definitely have a carrier as a voice over guy
10:18 zach handing me a cookie is just what I needed
this made me laugh
I mean, Zack gave us the cookies 7:49
Me taking the cookie: ❤
I did it all for the cookie.
I love seeing behind the scenes like this helps me appreciate the work that goes on behind the scenes
Why are you in the dark?
Afraid of the dark ?
Because of the absence of light.
He did a teardown on the sun. Like the Fold 5, it didn’t survive.
I was wondering that myself! 🤔
Because it's dark
Working with old high school friend who is a fellow tech geek. Love that!
I was chewing air every time you handed me a cookie. I have to say, that was the best tasting air I've ever had 🤙🏽😆
Hardware that just works without needing the cloud , Man this is like a quote that made me tear up a bit remembering the good old days .. you'r a man of quality for sure.
It's amazing he does all that work on a small white table. I thought it was gigantic studio setup.
Damn. Those cookies was good af. Love these type of solutions, wanna do a shed powered by those batteries.
Wow! My university education ended with a degree in English literature. On a good day, I can handle changing a light bulb so most of what he was describing went right over my head. I would love to know about his educational background. I am super impressed by his talent and expertise. I love his low key delivery. So smooth.
Business degree he said it
even I that study engineer get lost in his words
Is not a degree that holds value but his knowledge
He learn everything on internet no degree! You can too
Hey Jerry! I've been watching you for like 5 years now!
I've been following you for every project, you've been through!
from first time saying "Just like a little Lego " to finally getting sponsored by them😌
I just wanted to say that I wish you all the best luck for future and can't wait for the next video when Robin say: Lets get started😇
Love from India
Congrats on the moon landing!
thanks @@JerryRigEverything imma durability test some aliens that we found on the lunar south pole
thanks!!@@JerryRigEverything
@@JerryRigEverythingThank you Zack! More behind the scenes please in the future. ❤
You could use a hybrid inverter for your solar panels, these type of inverters can control if the power goes to a battery or return to the grid and you could even control when you want those things to happen
Yep, microinverters are really only good if you have a lot of random shade. Else it's just added failure points and they also have a crappy pfc. Which uses extra battery power when offgrid. Those microinverters sit under the panel in the baking sun all their life. Not ideal.
You could add an AC coupled/grid forming inverter+storage like the Outback Mojave system between grid and micro inverters so you can make your own ac grid and still harvest solar when the grid is gone
If the battery's have a back up generator input for charging the battery's or bypass, the output from the panels could be connected to it there through another transfer switch.
You can get 1 big hybrid inverter with its smarthome dongle, or install yourself an amp clamp connected to a raspberry Pi or any domotic
Good job on the cookies. Ty
Those are some rad computers. Thanks for the tour and the cookies. I hope you shared cookies with the family.
Ecoflow are a masterful marketing company.
It's been 11 years?
It means I grew up with this channel 🥺🥺
I love how generously he is giving the cookies that if one of us are sitting in front of him and listening him , loveeeee it ❤❤
Its pretty awesome to hear the difference in audio quality walking into and out of the studio simply because of the sound dampening panels.
the difference in sound caused by those sound absorbing sheets at @1:45 is amazing
Making the intro dark to as well was a very cool touch
I grew up in wartime houses (post-WW2) and all had breakers in the kitchen. This was due to the highest power drawing appliances being in the kitchen. Cost savings on the more expensive wiring.
He keeps on giving us cookies but we cant eat them 😢
I feel like Zack is transitioning between a wholesome phone destroyer to a wholesome prepper so slowly that we are none the wiser. 😂. Nevermind still here, still watching, still liking. Cheers zack
Edit ps: thanks for the cookies
Gotta love the effectiveness of the sound proofing. Amazing videos.
he is a philanthropist and has very good heart
I love the safety glasses for just using a drill😂
You and the 8-Bit Guy are totally forging ahead in the world of off grid production. 👍 Pretty frickin cool stuff.
All that's missing is a big glass of milk 🥛 ! Great vid Zack thanks for sharing
@JerryRigEverything if you put the enphase back feed breaker in the new generator panel you hooked up they will sense the 240 volts off the eco flow in order to stay on. Just be mindful it not back feeding to the grid. Or maybe take 1 string and feed into the generator panel
Main reason for the shut off and a delayed start up is you cannot be back feeding incase it’s a down wire and the utility is already stressed enough when power turns back on last thing it needs is all the solar systems kicking on and putting more load on the infrastructure.
7.2KW of energy is what my F-150 Hybrid can output, that it's coming from 2 big batteries like that is nice.
Might look into this someday, :)
7:35
Zack: my oven pulls light around 1400 watts!
Me: the grid supplies me and my paying guests with 1730 watts Max! 😅
The dark intro is much better than the other intro.
I bet this video will get billions of views just because it doesn't blind your eyes
5:57 “Since you can tell I’m not backing up every breaker…”.
You’re giving me way too much credit lol.
Get yourself a real grid switch (an automatic one) and put that between the grid and the panel, when the grid falls away the switch automatic switches to the other input (gen/ups) or put the eco flows in between the incoming grid and the panel, so even when the grid fails everything stays up ;)
3:38 the @BurlsArt colored pencil guitar is looking great on that wall
Nice catch!
The last bald guy with a secret lab didn't have a happy ending. At least it isn't under a laundromat.
Or....is it?
@@billywayne6104 it was dark at the start. Just like what you expect being under a laundromat would be.🤔
I bet he has a kill room.
Thanks for the virtual cookies, we appreciate them!
Hearing the UPS buzz go off made me look at mine 😆 6:10
If you want to put your ac system in the backup system then either run an inverter drive system such as mini splits or high end central air or you can add whats called a softstart to your condenser with an ecm indoor blower.
Was literally watching a video of a man who's been living off the grid for 50yrs and i got the notification for this!
thanks for the cokies I've been watching your videos for about 6 years Iv always lliked the way you make them And I think its cool that I live near you (I moved to Saratoga springs 3 years ago) thanks for being such a cool guy and helping people in need and being honest with your sponsors.(:
I'm pretty amazed. As a guy who doesn't really get electrical things too well, this is like magic to me
Dear Zack, Keep doing whatever makes you happy and us happy :)
You can definitely DIY a controller which can smartly switch the solar panel to power the battery when grid is powered down and do all kind of cool stuff. Love these videos from you.
I really do appreciate you showing and explaining all this to me. And again thanks for the cookies!
Thanks Zach for the cookies... They were delicious.
Thank you for the cookies Zack and the tour, You're a great host!
You could easily set up an array to charge those batteries to 100% everyday with your land/roof space available and even get heated panels for the snow. Would love to see a collab with DIY solar with Will Prowse!
While not an owner of Delta's I own a River Pro plus its expansion battery to help deal with loadshedding here in South-Africa. Its good to hear that Ecoflow is such a good product I had been taking a gamble here buying such an expensive system.
The only thing missing is the solar-tie in
The 8-Bit guy did this the other day. Interesting.
10:10 Just in case you didn't know, there are inverters that can can actually produce AND consume power from AC to recharge a battery in what (I think) is called an 'island grid'. The Victron Multiplus for instance can do this, but I'm sure there are other systems that can, too, maybe even one from Ecoflow?. What this effectively lets you do is keep the microinverters for the grid-tie setup. If you were to transfer power to batteries, the inverter can supply the necessary AC waveform the grid-tie microinverters need to push power out from the panels, and the main battery inverter can take that energy (if its not already being consumed by another load) and push it into the batteries. This may be an better setup for you, since you can keep the grid-tie system without loosing the ability to have those same panels charge a battery.
6:40 Everything, Everywhere, All at Once
Definitely my favorite movie.
Really cool to compare 8-bit guy's and Jerry's solar setups
I was going to say the same thing 😂
Just wondering if there is a benefit of doing this vs a Tesla Powerwall?
As a 10 years of electrical engineering and 6 years of solar pv engineer, I would like to work in your garden and be the service technician in there for free haha
I'd love to be there for the next 11 years of adventures!
This is wild. So you can charge everything including your vehicles off grid? The technology is amazing and I am glad to be alive.
i always love these 'back of the house' tours. thanks for sharing!
i love how he just keeps handing us cookies whilst were listening to him, he should do this more often😂😂
Thanks Zach! Cookies were great!
ELEVATOR INSTALL GUY! Finally I remember where I saw this channel for the first time.
Interesting, too bad the price/ stored energy ratio of these ecoflows really sucks. From you I would have really liked to see a diy system with an old ev battery and aftermarket inverters
The smarter I get the more I understand how and why you did what you did.
I can't wait til I can do the same, but less on camera
Without a cloud, IMHO that's the most important message. This senseless centralizing of every electronic unit just to produce extra money for some companies is gone too far.
I have no problem with it as an alternative, but there should always be a non-cloud solution to be able to use a device you buy locally if you want, without external services and extra cost. You paid for it, you own it, it should simply work.
such a refreshing video. I love the filming space setup
Love the videos, greetings from Finland
Having a way to switch from grid solar to off grid solar would be relatively easy to do in theory. In practice though, it would probably be much harder than it's worth as you'd be constantly switching voltages since power into the grid is often different than household power from the grid... It's clear I don't have a clue what I am talking about, but even I can tell it'd be more sensible to just make another solar array.
The problem comes when you have micro-inverters attached to each panel. They are amazing for grid-tie systems and make wiring a breeze, but they will not function if the grid-tie inverter goes offline. You'd have to disconnect each panel from the micro-inverters, connect them in series/parallel to optimize voltage/amperage that the battery system can handle, and then connect them to the batteries. Is it possible? In most cases absolutely with some small adapters to make it easier and non-permanent, but like mentioned in the video it would probably only be logical in an apocalyptic event where you aren't going to switch back and forth frequently. With how many panels he has on his roof that is probably a couple hours each and every time he needs to switch (if fully prepared).
Those EcoFlow batteries are nice and you can take them anywhere, but you could power that shop from your Humvee for a lot longer and it can take you anywhere!
Thanks for not hogging all of the cookies
That phasmophobia vibes when Zack shut down the power and walk in with a flashlight
Instead of a quirky comment like "That setup is sick AF" or "I subjectively think this video is objectively better than anything mkbhd has done in months", I'll just say that you sir seem like a very good pal.
It is nice that you are prepared for what will come. Hopefully it will not be too bad. Only one thing will save humanity, loving one another! Only Love will keep humanity safe. I appreciate you very much, cuz you feel this for all; thank you for your existence. ❤️
We have essentially the same desk setup -- I have a G9 below another ultrawide that looks to be the same dimensions as yours, same speakers, also on a standing desk, and even the same wallpaper (I just have the top screen showing stars). Wild!
I'd definitly change the top screen background I just haven't had time to find that setting yet
Haha you should keep the dark mode intro though 😂
I’m kinda surprised you didn’t go for an auto-switching setup. I know some grid-tie systems can cut the grid if it detects a power loss, letting things run from battery, and still allowing solar recharge without the risk of shocking line workers who are trying to fix the grid
I mean, it's a sponsored video and ecoflow isn't designed for that. There's MUCH better and safer options out there that are way less janky. I would be VERY surprised if he actually uses this outside of this sponsorship.
I couldn't figure out why your video was so soothing until I realized there were crickets in the background.
Nice of you sharing the cookies with us, so tasty!
Can you make a DIY wall battery bank from a totalled EV car for cheap?
I see lots of teslas getting totalled with left clean batteries
Out of curiosity, could you put those batteries in the bed of your Rivian and then use them to charge it? If so how much more range would they give you? Great video, as always.
I seen a guy in Norway do that on UA-cam. He reviews ev's.
im not the type of guy who ever goes to concerts to meet hes favorite singer or anyine but id love to meet you so think about making like gatherings were u can do this orientate and we will go and pay to see you man honestly id pay to shake your hand
Thanks for the cookies @8:54, @9:24 and @10:20. Yummy! Really nice walkthrough of the secret lab and the power transfer switch and the possibilities of being powered when off-grid.
Did anyone noticed that the intro was black instead of white background?
Love the videos. Thanks for the cookies, they were fantastic!!
I just have to say that - from the first video I watched you came to me as a very honest person and then I noticed that you are extremely wholesome and you deserve every gram of praise. Maybe you can't give out to people as much as like Jimmy for example but you give everything you have and that is much more important. Thanks Jerry and I hope one day I will have a precious heart as you do.
Great video, Zach! I've been wondering about your setup for quite a while now!
Awesome that's for always providing us with good contents 😊
Jerry thanks for the "COOKIES" while watching your great video😁😁
Handing the cookies to the viewer was great.
Hope they were delicious!
I applaud your choice of Wago lever connectors over wire nuts
Thanks for the cookies! And the tour
....last 11 years in an 11 minutes long video, love the dedication to details.
Your pad is truly amazing!!
Those cookies were delicious, thanks for inviting me over for a snack and detailed explanation.
At the start of the video when he turned the building lights off and walked in felt like he was about to explore an abandoned workshop doing some exploring or ghost Hunt haha
I have 2 of the Ecoflow Delta Pro's, I use them in my business. I run tools, and a laser printer... They've been absolutely flawless!
I was literally baking chocolate chip cookies when this video popped up!
Cheers for gooey goodness 🍪
It was cool to see the difference between the acoustics in the operation room
