    This is an ingenious set up well done! I just bought a Econoflow Delta 2 Max 2000 that came with two 110 watt panels. Thinking I should just set up a switch and connect to my roof panels.

    Liked the video. Very few videos out there with the usage of the power kit and smart home panel. Very informative. In a future video can you do a in-depth review of your setup.

      Absolutely. I’m actually the vice president of a solar company and I came up with a strategy for my house trying to guarantee an ROI on my roof was not good for solar and it works fantastically and I started developing it further so that we could sell it to customers and so far it’s been great.

    How did you get the cable to connect the power kit to the smart home panel? Can’t find it anywhere.

    Hey man, great video!
    I've got an ecoflow smart home panel and I'm trying to connect it to a 15kw power kit? (I also have a Delta Pro and smart generator with solar panel if needed)
    Can I ask what your solution was to make the connection and which cables you used?
    Many thanks from the UK :)

      You have 15 kw batteries and 2 power hubs then I’m assuming?

    Hope you don't mind a random question. We got one Ecoflow power kit with one 5kw battery mostly as a home backup when the power goes out, which is often here. Even when we're on the grid, Ecoflow shuts off the AC out even at around 4kw. It doesn't pass the power through from the grid? Is the unit defective or what are we doing wrong? Thanks.

    • @ColbyBlack
      @ColbyBlack  Рік тому +1

      If the load is more than 3.5 kW it can’t handled it for extended time. It can handle surges but not sustain it.
      If you need more, you would need to tow power hubs and then you can handle 7 kW continuous.

    This is a great setup, I have been looking into this same set up but I can not find out if the combined continuous AC output for this setup is 7200 watts and is the surge AC output double as well?

    Can you run the following logic with the SHP; when battery goes to 30% switch to grid - when battery recharges to 90% (hopefully by solar) switch back to battery
    Thank you!

    • @ColbyBlack
      @ColbyBlack  Рік тому

      Yes. Except I switch to propane generator that is DC to DC charging it to .90 cents for half the cost of the grid.

    I got 6 of the 10 relays working on the smart home panel. The other 4 are showing a blinking red light. Do you think I need to get replacement relays?

    • @ColbyBlack
      @ColbyBlack  Рік тому

      Hey, sorry I just saw this. I know there was a batch of relays that were manufactured a little shy of what it should be and when you’re connecting it if you tighten the screws down too much and it pushes the board up somewhere else, it makes it so that your relays aren’t seated well so I would undo all of them and lightly put it in there and screw it down so it’s secure without overtightening it.
      You could also do a warranty claim and get some new ones as the issue has been resolved.
      This is some should be thought of like a computer in the sense that if you do have any issues, a nice hard reset usually resolves it. If it’s something really troublesome, literally, just unplug everything turn it all off flip your breaker off and then plug everything back in and you should be good.

    It looks like you have the EcoFlow transfer switch and the EcoFlow Smart Home Panel both connected to your indoor circuit breaker panel. Would that be correct? If so, why would you have both connected to you indoor circuit breaker panel?

    • @ColbyBlack
      @ColbyBlack  Рік тому

      The Ecoflow’s SmartHome panel is the automatic transfer switch, and it’s functioning as a subpanel housing relays for the circuits in the main breaker box that I want to run on solar/battery

    I love this idea but don’t think I have the funds to get that kinda setup. That’s gotta be well over 60k plus invested, right?

    • @ColbyBlack
      @ColbyBlack  Рік тому

      No, I could actually get this financed for you at zero down and 2.99% APR with panels included and installation for like $180 a month or less depending on what you did I would have a finance amount of like 40k-45k
      So financing it at $180 there’s not something additionally you’re paying for that’s wiping out like a $340 utility bill at my house while also giving me critical back up. If you wanna shoot me an email to Colby@EmergerEnergy.com
      I can create a free estimate, and if you decide to move forward, I can get you installed through Starlight Solar with the mentioned financing.
