  • SunGoldPower solar panels?

    Will Prowse recommends the Rich solar 400W panels, and I have a few of their 200w panels and have no complaints. But current promotional sale pricing has Rich Solar 400W panels, Qty of 10 for $4,800, and free shipping = $1.20/watt. SunGoldPower is listing a 415W panel, qty of 10 for $2,575 =...
  • Charging one battery bank from another

  • Individual LFP Cells in Ecoflow Delta 2?

    What LFP cells are in the Ecoflow Delta 2, and can I source them for DIY projects? The Delta 2 hits the sweet spot for size/weight/power output (1800W). Smallish and portable. But I would like more capacity than the 1024Wh (though not bad). You cannot duplicate this unit DIY using Eve or the...
