I installed Ecoflow Powerkit and added 3,150 watts of solar on my 34ft Avion Travel Trailer last June. I have 15kw of batteries and run my air conditioner on the system. Live full time in our rig. In the over 9 months I have not plugged into shore power or a generator. Totally off grid. Full time. Love my Ecoflow Power Kit!
Right!! Isn’t this thing great. Pretty amazing and I think this will really make other companies change direction.
I’ll be adding another battery to 15k as well and dropping my house batteries down to relieve some weight. I can charge right from the 24v out to a drop down to 12 for the house batt.
I’ll add more solar on that input from the house batt to the PK..👍🏼
I have the independence kit, with 3 x 5Kw LFP batteries... total 15Kw capacity, more than enough for my off grid needs. It can charge with 4800w total with PV panels! I have 12 x 410w Canadian Solar PV panels, 4 panels for each of the 3 inputs wired in series. A sunny day with minimal cloud cover can charge my batteries From 30%to 100% in about 4-6 hours. Great system... Very pricey as well. It works and I'm happy💖
Nice, I wanna tap into my hole solar system but using micro inverters makes it tough to convert back over. So the trailer is my other power generating unit.
But I’m net zero so can’t complain. 👍🏼
Now it’s my power when the power goes out but I would like a 3rd battery 👍🏼
After buying all the parts and gadgets for a couple of solar powered off grid systems, I wish I had just bought an additional Ecoflow battery. I like the idea of plug and play! Nicely packaged, neat, tidy, and simple system you have there!
Thanks Jeff .!!! As soon as I saw this I knew it would change the way more people build kits. Can’t wait to see what other companies do. Be very interesting to see in one year or maybe less. And it can be used for homes, offgrid cabins, Rv, van builds and more.
I feel like the first all in one kits on the market were Redarc Revision and Manager 30 system. It was not quite plug n play and batteries not included. So glad other companies have stepped up
@Espiritiv agree and I bet we see more in a year or two
I don't even own an RV but this install and equipment was way cool to learn about. Very innovative and will definitely disrupt the market. I love your channel and all of the content you produce. Keep up the excellent work. Thank you.
Thank you so much Paul, definitely appreciate it.
And yes I think this will definitely make other companies start moving this way. I expect to e more and more of this in the near future.
Thank again 👍🏼😀👊🏼
Same I don't own a RV but I do want to buy a 8"x21" enclosed trailer and make a custom Toy Hauler RV with full bathroom and kitchen with fold down bed. And having this plug and play for off grid power is looking like a great option.
@RossMalagarie that trailer could be a power generator 😀👍🏼
Thanks again Johnny for another great review!
Thanks again Johnny for another great review. This whole system is on my wish list!
You’re welcome Charles, it’s definitely nice and so far doing well. I plan to keep testing it and see how it does..👍🏼
Hey great video man your attention to detail and explaining everything is the best ive seen!
Wow thank you so much. Appreciate it and thank you for stopping by 😀👍🏼

Plug and play is the way to go.
I’m sure EcoFlow will soon come out with an upgraded system for 5, 8, 10 or 12kw output and a quadrupling of battery capacity.
Such a cool system, only limiting factor is max 15kwh battery system. But it should serve 90% of the people out there 👍🏼 but there are ways around the limit
@@johnnysweekends how would you add capacity?
@TheCornucopiaProject-bd5jk I have over 5kwhs in my house batteries so I use the Alt charger port and a victron 12/24 converter. So I then dump power into PK if needed. The up converter can do 20 amps continuous but I normally run it at 15-17 if I have two.
I don’t think I’ll need to
Much because I’m generating a lot more. But my whole setup changed with adding the other panel and changing my array. I no longer have solar charging the battery. So I’m fixing that.
Nice clean, organized install. You have something that should last a good while and be very dependable. 👍
John
Thank you !! Yes it should be a great kit for anyone looking to be more in dry camping or offgrid setups. Especially the rv or van build life as again, the uninstall would be less than a hour. Especially if I just left the data cable. I see a lot of people who I build these big expensive off grid setups in the rv and it would be complicated and a mess to remove. So they leave it and sell the trailer 3 years later and the kit goes with . This can be retained for future projects..👍🏼
I am glad they are doing this. Even with solar generators prices are getting even. I bought my pecron for 855 out the door which has 1200 w solar input 2000 w inverter, 1980 lifepo4 expandable to 8kw. That being said I do not have the knowledge to build that safely not yet at least. This stuff can be pretty dangerous to a newbie. I don't want my neighbors building 10 kw systems if they know nothing about electric it's a skilled science. Nice job Eco Flow.
Agree, very smart idea here. Very interested to see who else follows in making kits like this.
Great video!! Another option to consider
Thank you!! 👍🏼😀
And yes, these are very attractive. I love the versatility!
Great video! One correction: EcoFlow Power Kits can have from 1000W of alternator charging input (with a single 12V alternator) up to 4800W of alternator charging input (with two 48V alternators using all three alt/solar input ports).
Yes you could do that, but dont know who would be using dual 48v alts…but its a pretty cool kit honestly with a lot of functionality
This is just brilliant, and if the other providers are going to go down this road that's great, too. The competition should keep the price user friendly. Plug and play AND move it between the RV and the house.
What do you think is going to happen with Solid State batteries?
Great video - thanks!
Battery tech is only getting better every year. When they can mass produce and scale it faster it will take over for LFP.
Eventually maybe the sodium ion battery will be able to take over. If they can make it small enough lol
Awesome video
Thank you..😀👍🏼
Thanks, great review! I love how easy it is and I think the price isn’t bad for what you get. I am curious how repairs and parts are handled by Ecoflow, especially if you are living full time with this system and can’t live without it for large chunks of time.
Well Ecoflow has now been around a while. And I know as a reviewer of several of there products and a couple friends as well we constantly tell them customer service needs to be big. Bluetti went down fast after a while and are now rebuilding that. I know ecoflow is also expanding it as well to better serve more customers as they continue to grow. A lot of people got hit during COVID and are still rebuilding from that
Good to hear, this stuff is a game changer.
What a CLEAN setup! Nice work, Johnny! This kits are super awesome for an RV install. Question.... I was just helping my friend with a power station rv install and the built in transfer switch didn't work until we bonded the neutral and ground with a bonding plug. Did you have to do that on this setup?
This one I did not which I was surprised. It has been working with out a bonding plug.
But a bonding plug is only needed if a on board pms or EMS system is installed or using say a watchdog surge/low voltage protector. Much like a gas generator it’s the same. Not needed if none of those are installed. But there are exceptions depending how new or old
Oh and thank you 😁👍🏼
I LOVE HAW YOU MENEGE ECOFLOW 10 KW/H ITS SUPER
Thank you for this. I’m considering this kit, but wondering if it would be wise to wait a bit and see what other products come to market. My biggest hesitation is that the 12v amperage output cannot handle a rooftop AC. I would have to run it on 120v, which would lose some efficiency.
You mentioned the Renogy Rego, and also a Victron plug-and-play product. I’m not aware of the Victron, do you have any other info on it? Thanks!
Yes renogy redo. But not as install friendly but still pretty easy, and victron is just slowly changing with multi plus and newer style Rs inverter charger and solar controllers.
Which I bet we see some new things soon like during Vegas CES in January. At least we hope so. Again more people will be headed this way. And victron is just slowly making more pieces into less pieces lol.
That power kits worth more than your RV
It’s nice but not $40k nice 😁👍🏼
Did you have to re enforce your floor for the weight of the batteries stacked? Anyway nice vid 👍🏻🇺🇸
No it had a generator there that was there. But I do check it regularly
This is amazing, but I wish it was cheeper😢
All in all not a bad price for such a robust system. There are cheaper options but just depends on what ya want and need.
@@johnnysweekends yes agree but still a chunk a change up front
I've been following this system since it was released but can't find anyone reviewing the sound ouput volume. I have the Ecoflow Delta Pro but the fans run so loud I am looking at other options for my TT setup. Do you have any plans to test the hardware as you have other generators? Sound db under load where it begins to ramp? Total db @ 1 m while under full load? Also, I see that you are installing the inverter/charger unit in a closed space. Any idea what kind of heat would be generated over time? For those wanting to install in a similar space, how would load contribute to ambient temperature increase? Been following your content for a while and appreciate the time you take to review and address the practical side of equipment.
I will be doing more testing for sure, I’ll do sound levels and more but with cool air already coming it definitely won’t have to work as hard. One thing it’s quieter than delta pro, but DP also has an update to adjust fan speeds of when full kicks on.
I also have an exhaust fan in that compartment that you can see in the video but I may switch it out for something else. Will see. It’s a little noisy but it was cheap and an experiment really when I was running DP.
I need to do some stress tests soon and see how it does. Again cool weather will make life easier. Obviously I don’t want to abuse it but I do have a few benefits so hence abuse it and see what it does..👍🏼
That's awesome! Way too expensive though.
It’s not terrible really for everything if you get it for the $10500 price for everything and quick install.
Try that on other systems
Now a smaller version for Overlanders!
You can buy the 4kw kit which is a lot cheaper. Or a whole new smaller power hub and maybe 2kw batts..?
Can I buy that ACDC distribution panel off ya? Would love to do some experiments with it. To test its load capacity.
This is a test system and is on loan. Check back in a few months and then I’ll let ya know if I acquire the system 👍🏼
Will wait for version 2.0. I feel this won't have enough DC amps to run a decent Air Conditioner. Did you try?
I don’t have a dc ac unit. It can run as a 12v or 24v system. Which would double your dc amps.
But it has enough as power to run both my Rv ac units no problem.
So you can hook this up to shore power and not have to deal with the smart panel? I don’t want to take out my stock switch panel simply because if I resell, I’d want to not have to rewire it twice.
Yesss! I built my whole Rv in a fashion to make it very easy to stripe and it will be almost exactly stock for resale. The power kit if you noticed in the video is still using the stock Electric distribution panel so no modifications to the DC or AC circuits. It’s almost plus and play if you have a generator prep. The only I would leave behind is the data cable so I dont have to fish it out.
I could strip the whole power kit in less than 30 mins. Hence the reason I like it so much and it’s been working very well. I just went on a 7 day boondocking trip and leaving again this Friday for 8 days again mostly dry camping. I run an electric heater at night that clicks on and off in my bedroom. I can run my front AC full time when the sun is out but the main unit draws more than I bring in so it will eventually deplete depending on the conditions.
And yes it has AC input so you can charge or go into bypass mode.
And the prices of this have come down with other products being released. Let me know if you have more questions and I do have discounts for the power kit as well.

It’s almost like… with the way the country is going with “silent depression”, “silent quitting”, inflations, Van lifers, RV’ers, trying to keep things on a budget but be off grid away from government BS… You almost have to try and learn how to do this as well as a lot on your own.
EcoFlow vs a DIY system is kind of like iPhone vs Android. One hand is very user friendly and partially paying for convenience of having it basically done and usable while the other can get as expensive or as cheap as you want it to be DIY customizable.
Regardless of what anyone chooses I love that the community in this realm we are helping each other, spreading the word, and teaching. Keep innovating peeps!
Do you have to stack the batteries, or can you place them side-by-side?
How ever you want. Stack, side by side, lay down, side ways I believe. Doesn’t really matter much 👍🏼
A newbie question. Do the system need some kind of heat management (dissipation)?
The system/ batteries have heat sinks and will dissipate its own heat. The power hub has fans and heat sinks as well to move air over the circuit boards and more to expel heat. I also have an exhaust fan in that compartment to move air.
GoPower Sucks! This is why im buying the EcoFlow to replace it.
I don’t even know how they are still in business. Way over priced for minimal performance and features.
I’m ditching my on board charge controller. It doesn’t connect and doesn’t seem to charge at all good rate. Plus it’s pwm so it’s old tech.
@@johnnysweekends super old..my van is 2019 came with it. Nothing works well. Time for a change!
Is it possible to power Ecoflow battery directly from Nations 48v 100amp alternator?
Idk but Ecoflow just came out with a new dc direct charging system.
I just got it the other day so it will take a few weeks before I do a video on it
Holy crap
Darn right 😁👍🏼
Well I know what's going into my next rig. 15k!
Your absolutely right. By the time I was done with an 11k system, batteries wires connectors modules, I was way over the asking price of this system. Forget about my labor!...I would definitely be recommending this going forward and be using it myself.
@whitenas yea,people forget to calculate the time it takes. A few hours is one thing, a few days or more is another. Have to admit, pretty slick setup
super simple but more than twice the price of good quality normal instal. Also over 3000$ for 5kw Battery?
Twice the price?? Ahh don’t know about that after you add all wires and connections and more. You put a big system together and add disconnects fuses and more you have added more money. That’s not all included which also needs more wire. Just the 1/0 cable are spendy
This is a 48-volt plug and play system - price out the equivalent 48-volt components from Victron Energy, it's ~1/3 of the price.
How much? Is this a 12v system or 48v? Those batteries are 5000ah(×2)? Thx for help, I was going with 48v system with 4- 48v(54v) 200ah. But alot of work, I love this idea. But ecoflow is big money. Thx for any help
This is a $12k system 51.2v batteries. 48v system with 12v or 24v out with 3600 watt ac inverter. Most all this is mentioned in the video
@johnnysweekends WILL NEVER SELL, unless your a rich person. People live off grid to save money. And I m building my own system for 48v(54.4v) system
For $3000ish. Running led lights, water pump, etc...
@mad151maxx4 they have already sold a ton of them 🤷🏼♂️
And many do not know how to do there own not do they want to.
A good set up would be a server rack system. If people don’t want to mess with anything get a large enphase set up or silting off that sort.
Those tiny brackets and screws for 80 lb batteries are concerning.
They are actually pretty strong but it comes with a couple mount option which has this strong strap mount as well with brackets on the bottom
Can the power kit be used in a marine application?
I don’t think this is set up for marine use. I would ask direct but I didn’t see anything saying it was certified for marine use
EcoFlow is considering a new version of the Power Kits for the marine market, it will require a number of changes to be certified to marine standards.
@GregKBoulder this will be awesome when they do. And yes takes much more to be marine rated.
I will be first in line when they roll out the marine version
@jamesdiserio4020 no kidding right. I plan to buy a cabin cruiser in a couple years and this would be excellent
Can build a MUCH better system, bigger capacity, higher quality components - for a fraction of the cost.
Most people are not going to want to install sungold power or EG4 items in these. Size or inverter and weight of server rack or wall battlers are heavy and spacing is a problem, how ever I may still do it for fun.
DON'T BUY ECOWFLOW I GOT THE DELTA 1300 TURNS ON THEN OFF ZERO CUSTOMER SERVICE. GOT IT AS A GIFT WONT HELP ME AT ALL.
/i could ford is junk if I didn’t buy it from a dealer. Sometimes owners need to do some of the diagnostics. Try and deplete battery completely using dc output. Then charge to 100 percent. Discharge again completely. You can also try holding power button for 30 seconds and see if this changes anything. How long ago did you get it..? And where from?
