Wow solid video, perfect. Been doing alot of homework on this Battery and you've just answered all our questions, very well explained and demonstrated. Thanks and got a thumbs up from the wife and i here in New Zealand 🇳🇿
Damn dude not only is your voice soothing and putting me to sleep... But THE FOOD is the star of the video you really need your own cooking show with a solar generator...
I like that you have broken this down into a package. One of the problems with solar installations or off grid stuff is they are either building the house from scratch or are adapting their life to fit things and having a fridge, freezer or cooking electric is ignored. We have a fire ban in Finland since May so cooking using a electric when camping is now the way forward.
Oh that's very important information for me right now, because tomorrow I will drive to Finland (from Germany) and I plan on making this an outdoor experience with working off grid etc. Is the fire ban still in place, or can you tell me where to look up these things? Suomea käy myös. Mä ymmärrän aika paljon nyt. Kiitos paljon.
Yet another awesome analysis Jason. Also love that you make awesome meals and showing us real world usage of your products. Love your videos. Take care of each other.
Real life application of relatively cheap solution how to take some place completely off grid. It was performing rather well and even better than I expected. Thank you for details and nice recipes!
Im absolutely loving the videos, haven’t been addicted to a channel like this in forever! My wife is getting tired of hearing me talking about y’all all the time, I’m sure… Anyways, thanks for the great content and keep up the good work!
Awesome. Keep up the good work! I really enjoyed the review. EcoFlow donated a Delta 2 and a 220W panel to my channel so I can't wait to receive it in a few days. I can't use the Delta 2 Max because of spine damage (I will not be able to move it) so the Delta 2 is just right for me.
Great video. It is obvious you put a lot of effort into making this over all those days! (You mike makes it sound like you are in a sound studio and I didn't see the video I wouldn't believe you were standing outside!) You really showed a good way to make use of this unit.
I love this episode. It fires my dream of simplicity. Smal house with a simple electricity solution. We have a 3 Phase on grid system here in Austria. It is not easy to find a simple solution like your's.
The food looks mouth watering. Hugely informative content as usual guys. I watch a UK sailing channel and they just received a Bluetti setup. I chuckled as I watched it as it perfectly matched how you described most of these "reviews". Did you say that the truck captures rainwater into its tanks? That's awesome!
Yes, our aluminum exoskeleton creates a 1cm pool on our rooftop, and it was planned as rooftop water catchment, but wasn't fully implemented until we got to Colombia.
Out of interest, it might be worth mentioning the typical daylight hours in Columbia. Your evening cooking looks like you may have still had sunshine. I'd also be interested how long on average you felt the Ecoflow wasn't charging as it was 100% and if one of the expansions would be good value should you have consecutive dark days or more load. Obviously this would be speculative.
Because we're so close to the equator, daylight is basically 6am to 6pm year-round. We never really sit on 100% very long, we always dumped that power into something, lots of caramelized onions in the freezer. But these two panels would have no problems with an extra battery.... If you had the load for it.
Muy bueno ,me confraterna ver tu sonrisa cuando ves algo de sol ,me pasa lo mismo ,pero cuando miro el tiempo cada día y ve que vienen días malos ,me cambia el humor saludos y animo
Thank you! Long time fan of the channel, really appreciate your sharing all the knowledge you've gained. This particular video was a great reminder to me that what I've got planned for my semi-temporary set up should be more than enough. Of course, I'd eventually set up more capability, but at the onset, should be more than enough to keep the lights on. LOL
Jason, I really appreciate your thorough review of this power station! Need one to put in my new to me 22ft RV. I think it will serve me well! And thanks for the discount!
For the power you are pulling the delta pro would be ideal and adding just one extra battery you wouldn’t need sun every day. Four breakers what a dream house not much pulling of the power.
Great video! Seeing the area, you should get a nice amount of wind, so consider include vertical wind turbines (3-4). It will help in shady/raining days.
I'm running out of superlatives to rate your videos, mate. Thanks so much for such a thorough review. I'm sold. You are now shaming me into becoming a Patreon. If only the interest rates in the UK had not render my finances so thin. Sorry. I'm definitely going to work out a way to getting a way an Ecoflow at home with a couple of these solar panels over the garage and power some of my static units (fridge, deep freezer, microwave, etc) into those units. Thanks again.
Excellent review! Always good to see realistic testing scenarios, and you nailed it. Though the single D2Max seems to be serving you well so far, with two more panels and an additional add-on D2Max Smart battery, you’d have all the power you could want as well as resilience for cloudy days etc. for a reasonable price. I just got the D2Max as well with one additional battery and the dual fuel generator with four glass solar panels. Though this won’t power my house entirely, I plan to do exactly as you’ve suggested by putting certain loads on this system and allowing it to work at offsetting some of our consumption. All while being available to power up critical loads during an outage. Great job!!!
Wow great video. EcoFlow should be paying you for your great advertising videos. If this video doesn’t get them more sale’s something is wrong? Great looking food. Cheers to the chef
Hello, and thank you for your informative videos. I would greatly appreciate your advice on my situation. I just purchased two Ecoflow Delta 2s and they each come with Ecoflow's 220W portable solar panels. Additionally, I purchased a two pack of their 160W portable solar panels. I got caught up in the Prime Day pressure to buy, and did not have time to do proper research. I live off-grid in Fiji, but am in the US for the summer. I will be putting these products in a container, to be shipped home before I leave the US at the end of August, so I have a few weeks to correct my mistakes, and make sure I'm sending myself a set-up that will work well. In Fiji, I would like to be using the Delta 2s to run a 7 cubic foot chest freezer 24/7, keep a laptop and two cell phones charged, and power a couple of lights each evening for a few hours. Beyond that, I would fire up additional electrical luxuries (like a Vitamix blender, or an ice cream maker) only once in awhile, and only if available power allowed. The chest freezer is the priority, and everything else can and will be put to the side in order to keep it powered. So, from this video I have gathered that I need to return the two 160W portable panels, and purchase one rigid 400W panel. One of the Delta 2s would be dedicated full time to the chest freezer, and hooked up to the rigid 400W panel. The other would be a back-up, and would be charged using the included two 220W flexible/portable panels. Does this sound right? Again, thank you very much for your time.
Flexible panels are always the wrong choice for fixed installations... They are not made for constant UV exposure. Whatever you spent on portable panels could easily buy you triple the wattage with rigid panels. It's probably a lot cheaper to buy these rigid panels in Asia as that's where they're all originating anyway... and be careful with importing a bunch of American appliances, as I believe Japan uses the 50hz standard as opposed to the 60hz used in North America. It may not matter off grid, but if you buy other appliances in JP they will likely have 50hz motors and hum on 60hz
@@Everlanders Thank you very much for the quick response! I just finished watching the previous video, the deep dive on the Delta 2 Max. I had to pause it so that I could really take my time to laugh at the "ain't nobody got time for that" segment. That saying, and that lady's video have been one of my favorite things for YEARS! Thank you for that. Back to the topic at hand... I am not in Japan, or Asia, I am in Fiji (an island group in the South Pacific), however they, too, use the 50hz standard. Do you say "be careful when importing a bunch of American appliances" because I would then only be able to use them with my American bought Delta 2s? This actually brings up another question I have, which might be better posed to Ecoflow: can I use a step up/step down converter with the Delta 2? I do have a couple of kitchen electrics purchased in Fiji that I would like to be able to run, again, only once in awhile, with excess power, using the Delta 2s at home. That converter should also allow me to use the few American appliances I will import on their grid, if need be. Please let me know if you have any corrections for this plan: I will exchange the 160W portable panels for rigid panels that will be hooked up to the Delta 2 that will run the chest freezer 24/7. The two 220W flexible panels (which were part of a package deal with the Delta 2s) will be used to charge the second/back-up Delta 2, and will be brought in each day once charging is finished, in order to extend their life. Again, thank you very much for your time. Safe and happy travels to you!
@Everlanders Hello again. Well, it seems that moving these units around the world is no easy feat. I've just learned that I am unable to ship my two Delta 2s to myself in Fiji unless I become a "known shipper," which requires special training. I tried going through EcoFlow's website to see about having it shipped directly from Ecoflow to Fiji...no dice. For fun, I entered an address in Columbia, too...no dice (they must have made a special exception for you?). I am now trying to see if I can return my very expensive Prime Day impulse buys. I'm so frustrated and disappointed. These were going to be life changing for me. Maybe I'll be able to order them from Ecoflow Australia, when they're finally released there.
I just used your code for my new 4000 watt hour Eco flow system! Thank you! I also have a ford 7.3 and I have enjoyed all your videos!!! We live in south fl and would love to meet you two one day!!!
A well thought out use. Here in Florida our electricity bills have doubled in the past 3 years. Going from $120-$150 to $250-$300. Just a 2bdrm house 1100sqft. Just need to figure out total cost of set up and cost savings. Just a rough thought would be 3-4 years to recoupe. But possibly half that once I figure out how much energy we use on average per day week month. ⚡👍💪🌞
the available vs what it takes is strangely so hard for people to understand. I currently "overpanel" my rv charge controllers with 400W of flat glass panels on a 360W capable controller. realistically I can combine all 800 watts of panel onto one controller and only loose 30-40W of peak mid day perfectly clear energy... This is my plan for the next batch of panels i'll install. move the front two arrays to a 4 series 2 parallel array, and then take the other controller and install another 800W on there. Id have the rv covered by now if I could find panels under $200 for a 500+ watt panel here in the US 😆 Overall Great test and explanation at a semi technical level for the broad audience. I hate flex panels! such a waste of wafers!🤣
I wonder about the water heater in the cottage... I noticed a shower and thought about it. Ah ha ... I see the black tank looking thing on the roof and "assuming" it is the heat source.
Dang now I’m hungry lol😊 Those panels at 180 bucks seems cheap to me.I’ll be needing 2 of those for ac heat pump mini split.I have a 300 watt panel running my 12v fridge in the camper.
Question, do you know if it can power the water pump used for the water reservoir? Or can you test this in another video? I am looking to buy the delta max for this intended purpose
Why don't you place a small windmill to help the solar panels topping up the battery? A windmill works night and day so the battery should be up to (almost) 100% all the time. It looks like it is windy enough for that.
Because I don't like windmills, it's not my House, and it would do me very little good in my RV where we live. Our solar panels are silent and have the batteries fully charged by noon with no moving parts to maintain.
Hi, love your review, there are a lot of reviews on CZcams, but your 2 videos are the first that are actually worth watching There is one thing I was wondering (I’m not very skilled in electricity, I’ve just been watching videos to determine what solar panels I can use, so I recently learned about series and parallel solarpanels 😅) if you put 2 of such panels in parallel in one input, your voltage is perhaps still good. But isn’t your short-circuit current going to be to high? I have this delta 2 max for my caravan, I also bought 1 glass panel for on my roof of 400W (open circuit V= 45,52V - short-circuit current = 11,27A) The manual of the delta reads for each solar input 60V and 15A. So 2 of my panels in parallel would mean Short-circuit of 22,5A. So I would be going over the max, isn’t that a problem? I figure your panels will also go over it since they are even a bit bigger…. If that’s not a problem, I would probably have 2 panels in one input and keep the other one for a foldable panel of 400W, as backup if really necessary, or when I put my caravan under a tree, in the shade, I could set that one up somewhere in the sun….
The Ecoflow will only "Take" up to 15 (per port)... if there is more on a super sunny day, it just won't be able to accept it all. The current is pulled, not pushed.
Hi, thanks for your easily understandable explanation. However, i've a question which came to my mind +- 3 weeks after i saw this video. When the Eco Flow is fully charged with for example 2-3 450kw solar pannels. And nothing is using electricity. What happens than? The pannels will stop producing electricity? Or what happens than?
@@Everlanders ok... why isn't that included in the "standard" solar pannels setups on houses in Europe (or some at least)? Where excess of solar power is being put on the net, and people have to pay taxes for "overcharging" the existing network.
@@Everlanders Thought about that. What when we're not home? As far as i know, solarpannels create energy in a chemical way, as soon as sunlight hits them. Not being home, we can't take them out of the sun,, neither disconnect them physically.
Thanks for the video I'm in La Mesa Chicamocha Canyon beautiful view of canyon if you come this way welcome. Quick question can you get away with less than 1000 watt..?
10:40 "It rained all night.... Thats good, the water tanks in the truck will be full." Did you add a rainwater catchment system on the truck? I feel like I missed something. Also, how are those big panels going to integrate into your Electrodaucas SBMS0 system? I expect that you have some clever plans rolling around. 🙂
We've always had water collection, thanks to the 1cm ridge on the roof formed by the aluminum exoskeleton. However it wasn't utilized until about a year and a half ago...
I bought a Delta 2 Max in March. Worked great until it didn't. One day I smelt something burning it was coming from the unit. It was running a small fan which stopped working. Long story short, customer service is the worse at Ecoflow. No one has gotten back to me and it's been over two weeks. They are great at marketing the product but there is absolutely no support on the backend. After researching more, it seems this is a very common complaint. Just an FYI for anyone looking for Ecoflow products.
Would you advise putting 2 550 watt less than 60 amp glass panels on a vehicle to keep this unit running a fridge full time and electrical kitch appliance’s a monitor and some laptops? I just got the delta max 2 with 2 free 160 watt panels but they’re the fold kind you slightly frown on Just subscribed , great channel so far 👍👍 ⚡️

Goes to show you don't gotta have 10 thousand watts to live off gird thank you sir .
미래를 위한 멋진 모습이에요!
Excellent video, very informative. Thanks 👍🏻
I wonder about the water heater in the cottage... I noticed a shower and thought about it. Ah ha ... I see the black tank looking thing on the roof and "assuming" it is the heat source.
No, that's just a holding tank, there is no water heater here... The wood stove would be traditional I suppose.
@@Everlanders thanks for response and enjoy, keep safe and always drive safely. nice flicks...
Great review, Short and to the point. although I don't have a need for it, I enjoyed watching your full video. Great work.
Terrific...a worthwhile and informative experiment
Great video! Thank you!
Awesome video guys! I always look forward to uploads! Also lovely scenery!
Dang now I’m hungry lol😊 Those panels at 180 bucks seems cheap to me.I’ll be needing 2 of those for ac heat pump mini split.I have a 300 watt panel running my 12v fridge in the camper.
great video very nice view👍👍👍👍👍
you guys rock, but Im hoping your ok have not seen a video in a while? hope your both ok and still travelling
looking forward to seeing your next vid

This is a good video. Thank you.
Great video brother …5 ⭐️ goes to it
It seems one could use bigger Solar Panels.
Thank you.
Oh wow, please elaborate!
Wonder how well it would fare with a Mini-Split connected
It ran ours fine...
Nice video love from India ❤
Question, do you know if it can power the water pump used for the water reservoir?
Or can you test this in another video? I am looking to buy the delta max for this intended purpose
Nope, I have no pump to test.
nice video.
Why don't you place a small windmill to help the solar panels topping up the battery? A windmill works night and day so the battery should be up to (almost) 100% all the time. It looks like it is windy enough for that.
Because I don't like windmills, it's not my House, and it would do me very little good in my RV where we live. Our solar panels are silent and have the batteries fully charged by noon with no moving parts to maintain.
Awesome video, thank you
All those bouge off grid meals LoL. When I think of my of grid meals it's usually pb&j , beans, chicken leg quarters on the grill
After year #5, PB&J doesn't cut it...
@@Everlanders I hear that!! Yall should do an off grid gourmet cooking series.
My mommy said no! 😭😂🤣
EcoFlow aside…you mentioned that there was lots of rain and this would top up your water tanks on the beast.
How does that work?! 😮
Our rooftop rainwater catchment is allowed to flush itself and then I divert it into our tanks and then through the filters...
@@Everlanders is there a video ?
The thumbnail art gave me some president of panem vibes.
Jason, what device are you using to heat up the water?
Hi, love your review, there are a lot of reviews on CZcams, but your 2 videos are the first that are actually worth watching
There is one thing I was wondering (I’m not very skilled in electricity, I’ve just been watching videos to determine what solar panels I can use, so I recently learned about series and parallel solarpanels 😅)
if you put 2 of such panels in parallel in one input, your voltage is perhaps still good. But isn’t your short-circuit current going to be to high? I have this delta 2 max for my caravan, I also bought 1 glass panel for on my roof of 400W (open circuit V= 45,52V - short-circuit current = 11,27A)
The manual of the delta reads for each solar input 60V and 15A. So 2 of my panels in parallel would mean Short-circuit of 22,5A. So I would be going over the max, isn’t that a problem? I figure your panels will also go over it since they are even a bit bigger….
If that’s not a problem, I would probably have 2 panels in one input and keep the other one for a foldable panel of 400W, as backup if really necessary, or when I put my caravan under a tree, in the shade, I could set that one up somewhere in the sun….
The Ecoflow will only "Take" up to 15 (per port)... if there is more on a super sunny day, it just won't be able to accept it all. The current is pulled, not pushed.
Great video.
I guess you can have 2 delta max with 4 500+watts solar panels? Is there a maximum?
The only maximum is the thickness of your wallet.
@@Everlanders 😁
Great Video!!
Hi, thanks for your easily understandable explanation.
However, i've a question which came to my mind +- 3 weeks after i saw this video.
When the Eco Flow is fully charged with for example 2-3 450kw solar pannels. And nothing is using electricity. What happens than? The pannels will stop producing electricity? Or what happens than?
If the batteries are full, the solar charger will turn off...
@@Everlanders ok... why isn't that included in the "standard" solar pannels setups on houses in Europe (or some at least)? Where excess of solar power is being put on the net, and people have to pay taxes for "overcharging" the existing network.
Engage brain... Install a disconnect.
@@Everlanders Thought about that. What when we're not home? As far as i know, solarpannels create energy in a chemical way, as soon as sunlight hits them.
Not being home, we can't take them out of the sun,, neither disconnect them physically.
Get a small robot to do it. A relay perhaps....
Thanks for the video I'm in La Mesa Chicamocha Canyon beautiful view of canyon if you come this way welcome. Quick question can you get away with less than 1000 watt..?
It's entirely dependent on how much power you want to use... If you have low consumption, you can have low production.
That's really cool, but clearly there is not enough for any A/C. Hopefully it's not that hot there? But nice video!👍
It's about 18c in the day and 10c at night.
well done
10:40 "It rained all night.... Thats good, the water tanks in the truck will be full."
Did you add a rainwater catchment system on the truck? I feel like I missed something. Also, how are those big panels going to integrate into your Electrodaucas SBMS0 system? I expect that you have some clever plans rolling around. 🙂
We've always had water collection, thanks to the 1cm ridge on the roof formed by the aluminum exoskeleton. However it wasn't utilized until about a year and a half ago...
@@Everlanders I'd love to see a video on the subject with your observations on strengths & weaknesses, yield etc.. 🙂
I bought a Delta 2 Max in March. Worked great until it didn't. One day I smelt something burning it was coming from the unit. It was running a small fan which stopped working. Long story short, customer service is the worse at Ecoflow. No one has gotten back to me and it's been over two weeks. They are great at marketing the product but there is absolutely no support on the backend. After researching more, it seems this is a very common complaint. Just an FYI for anyone looking for Ecoflow products.
Something about your hit piece doesn't check out... The Delta 2 Max wasn't released until May 31st
Ty I’m thinking of using this for a fig in also a tropical area in Caribbean where did you get your large panels
5:46 Bogotá Colombia
Ty Do you think I could buy them in Puerto Rico ?
@johnhouli3450 Nope
Great video, can you tell where were you at? If you can share the contact and the cost I'll appreciate it.😊
Upgrade to Delta Pro if you have a budget. It's a good video, by the way
I don't think they have any upgrade programs in place...?
This is so awesome!! As a fan of off grid and someone who has been to Colombia many times. Did they charge you taxes on yiour eco fkow?
Yes, standard IVA applies...
Hi there, could you tell me the attachments are used to heat the water for your laundry thank you?
Sous Vide Cooker
Would you advise putting 2 550 watt less than 60 amp glass panels on a vehicle to keep this unit running a fridge full time and electrical kitch appliance’s a monitor and some laptops?
I just got the delta max 2 with 2 free 160 watt panels but they’re the fold kind you slightly frown on
Just subscribed , great channel so far 👍👍 ⚡️
Less than 60 "volts" - sure that would be a great setup!
