I did actually luck out on 9 at 50 or 60 bucks. And the rest were in the 90-100 range I actually have 24 panels. Just kept searching fb marketplace daily and I’m in Texas a more solar friendly state and I spent 6 months accumulating them. (Got lucky the same type kept showing up) Plus cables some conduit clips critter guards etc. I do still have the cost to do the diysolar ground mount I haven’t included yet which will definitely be around 1200-2000 dollars of materials plus my labor time I didn’t include as that part of the project needs to be completed once I finish removing the tree that blew down during the Dallas storms. I still plan to finish that part up before I release one about just the solar part of this install ☺️

@@KatieGarcia101 there’s a small notch you can put ur fingers in and takes a little bit of elbow grease to pull apart

@@williamsung Thank you!!

It’s about 6 wash and dry and 2 wash only.

Hi there with 3 inverters max solar input would be 16.8kw if you maxed out all 6 Pv inputs.

@@williamsung thanks William, this was my fear. We are designing a 24kW system with 48 bifacial panels @500W. We will likely go with two EG4 18KW inverters. Appreciate you!

You could also get 2 shp2 and double up. But I would say the output and input is better on the 18k just needs more leg work to get it up totally worth it if you can get it done.

@@williamsung ground mounted system with about 80kW batteries. Agfain thanks for the follow up - subscribed.

@@srus4663 is it stuck in an update

I think a lot of these CZcamsrs got the batteries for free

@@dieseldawg7132 yes clearly and paid INFOMERCIALS

@@dieseldawg7132 absolutely. Ecoflow went on an advertising campaign giving away lots of free batteries, free equipment, etc in exchange for positive reviews. What these folks aren't talking about is the horrible customer support (from China) and how some of the Delta Pro's are smoking the homes up with black smoke.

I woke up freezing sometimes with it on maximum

@@seanohaoda2841 did they tell you why I would say check the Facebook group and see if they can help you!

I find that hard to believe, as my experience (I have 2 DPUs + SHP2) is that Ecoflow takes care of issues right away. So maybe the issue was that they checked your SHP2 remotely and found nothing wrong with it? Or maybe you tried to install it yourself and as you know warranty does not apply on the SHP2 >>>WITHOUT<<< proof that the SHP2 was NOT professionally installed. BTW, this ONLY applies to SHP2, not other Ecoflow products.

Hi there I am also in Texas in Dallas specifically it was still working fine at about 110 in my garage now we haven’t gotten a bad heat wave yet so I expect there will be degraded performance at higher temsp

@@williamsung thank you for the response. My concern about high temps is what really held me back. But I bet I could insulate my garage a bit better. Great video! Thanks!

I usually do all of that like once every couple weeks. Otherwise I just clean and rinse the lint trap after every load. It usually dries in under an hour.

Hey there For my family we only do three loads of laundry a week or 9 days depending on the season. A athletic, regular, and towel load pretty consistently with a bedding load sprinkled in as well. We are only two with occasional guest so not a lot of loads. So it was easy for us to do it all in one. This way we could fit more storage items into the laundry room for cleaning equipment etc. we also liked if we were leaving we could throw a load in and it would dry as well if we wanted to do a load a day. Cleaning routine wise as you saw in the video was mainly to clean the lint out which for the regular between use cleaning takes about 2-3 minutes. And maitenance cleaning like rinsing the lint catchers was a 10 minute maitenance step so I would say it’s not bad all things considered. The other case for the lower energy pull would be for solar too in our case. As it’s a lower draw than an electric dryer you can play more appliances into a side panel and run off a solar inverter much more easily.

@@williamsung Very good point about 1 load in 1 machine. That really is pretty useful where you can go out and do things and come back to a dried load of laundry. With 2 units, you do have to be there to move load from washer to dryer. That is a VERY BIG PRO! Please do keep us updated on how the compressor is doing. My biggest fear with this machine or even a heat pump water heater is that the compressor goes out after a few years. That would be such a pain. But good luck and best wishes with this model.

@@GJKSTUDIO I see here in Texas there are a lot of private sellers o I just sourced it locally. But eg4 or Santan have a lot solar panels that will work just as well as the Ecoflow ones

@@3affaf hi there I’ve been monitoring the heat currently. So far it has gotten all the way up to 110-115f range with 40% humidity and still ran fine only thing I did notice was solar charging degraded a little. It was maybe down 10-15% it’s usual peak. The next big finish up project is to get the solar panels off the ground onto a mount which I will be trying to diy maybe with some friend help and I will document that ☺️

I believe you will need something like a tigo4 and a rapid shut off switch I am not sure how it communicates with the dpu. But should just shut off at the array/module level. Mainly for safety for roof installs I don’t see why it wouldn’t be able to communicate a shut down to the modules as long as the tigos or an optimizer are on each panel.

Hi! Same here in Houston! Looking for solar panel installer, do you have a contact?

@@OhhhSheila88 on the same boat

@@yahsoulbro2018 you bet I’ll be working on it ☺️

@@williamsung , Thanks I really appreciate it.

@@williamsunginterested in how you got solar hooked up as well

Same. Solar hookup?!

Oh nice where in Dallas are ya. Im actually relatively new to the area so i didnt have a trusted electrician that i knew so i relied heavily on ecoflows network.

@@williamsung I'm in the southern area of Dallas - a couple miles south of Dallas.

I’m in DFW and might be interested in the installer info. However, I got their hassle free package.

Does this system allow you to back feed to the gris for net metering?

@@Tom-hb1no No it does not allow you to back feed to the grid for net metering.

How’s it dumb? I’m actually looking into doing something similar but with a Model Y. I spent $120 in 4 days on gas for my F-250 so you can imagine how much a month that is. I have 3 acres which is plenty of room for solar panels. So a few 400 watt panels and I can charge the Model Y for free. This guy went the expensive route with those delta pros.

@@jimm.5384 there should be a pull tab area that has a concave to pull just a little bit of elbow grease and it should come apart it’s mostly held together by a piece of plastic that slide in together.

​@@williamsungGreat. Thanks for the help!

Electrician here, does not need 5kwh to start, electric motors can use up to 4x rated current to start up but its only for a few seconds at most. Also this is a split system so the compressor wouldnt be using all 5kw probably more like 2.5-3.5kw which would give a max startup load of 14kw. Side note, the array is unlikely to be able to output what which would just mean the motor would start abit slower

So the power draw for boot up was around 40 amps at the 240 (I do have a soft start) so the initial draw was probably in the the 8-9kw range and drew a constant 4-5kw with the blower running as well. Inverters and battery powered the inrush

Stay safe during Beryl. Yea I had the best results so far with cool and manually keeping the fan on high. The boost didn’t really do anything on my end didn’t see significant change on the power draw maybe a 3-5% increase but would pretty quickly go back to the max draw at 1100-1200watts not sure what’s happening there.

I am also strongly considering doing the same. the ducting going all over the attic and still not having good ventilation is nuts to me. And so expensive to maintain😅

Same very impressed with the output for a room our central ac seems to have trouble getting airflow into. the net is a protector i got for leaves and bugs amzn.to/4eRuuyQ is the link to it :)

@@williamsung Thank you! Added it to my Prime Days list!

I’m not sure about the jackery you could possibly get regular 120v 15amp charging with a jackery 3000. So 4-6 miles an hour for most Evs.

@@williamsung I'm confused about the 2 chargers you used. Can you still get 18 miles a hour with just 1 charger but lots of solar panels like you did? Or that's only possible with 2 units?

@@exil3dlivecom so watts work volts times amps. If you have one delta pro you can use 120 volts up to 30 amps which is about 3600 watts real world something like 3000 watts. And if you get two units you can get 240v at 30 amps 7200 watts real world around 5800 watts. Depending on what kind of car for me Tesla model x it requires 5800-6000watts to get 18 miles. A smaller car probably a little less. The newer delta pro ultra can do 240v 30 amp by itself so you would need one unit. For solar panels that’s controlled by something else called the mppt. Which is a solar charge controller and it will direct the power from the solar panels either to load or battery and it also has limitations on how much solar can come in so you cannot exceed that limit the additional power will come from the batteries.

Unplug and plug it back in this happened to me as well it seems like it was trying to update. And as soon as it turns on and runs switch to wifi to a 2.4 wifi network it runs way more stable if you do that.
