Timber 4x4 posts on maryland pebble for the 24 bi-facial panels using 6 eg4 adjustable britemount kits. Back row feeds the 2 delta pros using unirac ecofoots which I do not recommend.

It's going well so far. Got the inverter and bypass mounted and connected to grid. Now just waiting on my 8 eg4 bright kits so I can hook up my 24 panels.

I was considering selling my ecoflow delta pro system with smart home panel for my critical loads. With your very informative post, I will keep it since it will be a backup to my now main system, Solark 15k/EG4/Gas generator combination.

Thanks, At the server rack, I just used a 2" elbow from liquid tight. At the wireway, a standard 2" male end with strain relief ring and locknut as well(both from home depot or Lowes) . I did use a 2" split wire loom from Amazon to cover the can bus cable and 4/0 battery cables. - Electriduct...

Here is my PV setup. I did it the portable way with timbers and the EG4 adjustable racking signature solar has. Pic was taken late on in the evening. The arrays get full sun for most of the day. The shadow is just on sunrise/sunset.

I am happy with what I built this year as well. I'm sure there will be some break through tech in the next 3 to 5 years. I think what I have now should be pretty future proof for 20 + years. Any future tech I am hoping will enhance what I have now and not require a complete teardown/replace...

I purchased the DVH, just to have the option of powering anything in my service panel if I needed to in a pinch at my choosing, being mindful of Ecoflow capacity. The DVH option to me is a SHTF choice and I rarely use it and had it prior to my SHP, so it just hangs there at the ready in the rack...

I went with (8) 440 watt Canadian solar panels hooked up in series/parallel and Ecofoot2+ and clamps ground mount kit by Unirac. You only get a maximum of 10 degrees tilt in landscape, however that is all I need right now. I probably get about 2400kw peak on a summer sunny day between both strings.

P I'm very impressed by the 460 watt blue sun panels. So far I have exceeded the rating and peaked at almost 14kw for my 24 panels.

Here are the array's I built using 6 EG4 Britemount kits. I'm using pressure treated 4x4's as the mounts. So far even in major storms these things are rock solid. When Solark comes out with their optimizers, that will be purchased. From what I was told by them, you just have to replace the mppt...

I have no inside knowlege to Hysolis Apollo sales, I am only paraphrashing what Ben from minuteman prep said in his video. My suggestion is to watch it if you haven't already. Here is a partial transcript: but talking with Will cross about it and 4:04 working on it with high Solas as well 4:05...

Almost. Averaged out I am showing 557W per panel. (String 1: 4439W, String 2: 4378W, String 3: 4540W) I have my panels set up in series of 8 each for the 24. The specs show up to 575 watts from bifacial gain. Not bad for a $262 panel. With all the stupid haze we get in the north east from the...

Nice job. I'm still working on mine. So far in the process, still need to install my 200 amp fusible disconnect, construct my six eg4 brightmount ground racks in portable style, trench 3 pair of cable 200 feet to the inverter, connect batteries, land all the grid/load connections in power...

Agreed, I am happy with the SHP and DP platform as a beginner and DIYer. I have decided to go more "professional" this year after owning Ecoflow for the last year. The SHP/DP solution definitely saved me a ton on electricity and has cut my eletric bill for my 120 volt loads by 70%. With my other...

Yes, hooked up on n series/parallel. You will need 2 pairs of branch connnectors to keep your voltage under 150v per string.

Wound up getting a victron 1000amp busbar. The cool thing is you can add multiples, as your battery banks grow if needed. One should take care of 2 separate server racks.

The 50 amp power inlet is for my powerhouse 7500 inverter generator only. That runs the critical loads and can recharge the DP's if there is no sun for a while and the grid is unavailable. Just extra redundancy; backup to the backup.

Here is a list of my set up. 2 Delta Pros, 4 Extra smart batteries, Ecoflow smart home panel running in 120 volts. Ecoflow double voltage hub. Uline cart and wheels (see minuteman prep youtube channel for set up). 30 and 50 amp power inlets, one external for portable generator and one internal...

I got them back in April this year, however I also had batteries/rack in the same shipment. They charged me $200 for a flat rate shipping fee for the entire order.

I purchased several yards of Maryland pebble. Its a light stone that reflects the light decently.

Based on Will and Ben's reviews and a product that can potentially kill via voltage leaks, Hysolis won't even sell the unit per Ben due to Will and Ben's collaboration in rigorous device analysis. I am hoping Hysolis fixs the dangerous hardware and lacking of app issues on the software side...

Agree Agreed, FWIW, I even posted a while ago about Zendure superbase V on this platform and even did an impulse buy putting 23k on my credit card getting the full kit LIPO version with smart home panel. Thank God I was able to cancel and get refunded fully. I did see in Will's youtube content...

Added another battery bank and a Victron bus bar.

Great sheet on the comparisons, thanks. I am mulling over this Hysolis Apollo with 6 base units, no expansions for now for 18kw of power when released or getting a sol-ark 15k with, 12kw of panels and 2 racks (60kwh) of eg4 batteries for now. Both set ups get up there in price with the...

Here is my take on some pros/cons on what I call extreme DIY friendly platforms like Ecoflow solar generators (inverter, battery, charge controller in a chassis) all in ones as opposed to their big brothers like Sol-Ark inverters + server rack batteries which are NOT DIY friendly and much more...

I did both and was going to sell my system as well however decided not to. Both systems work seamlessly with each other. If you sold for monetary reasons that is perfectly understandable in this crappy economy.

I think on paper Hysolis Apollo blows away ecoflow delta pros for whole house backup. I currently am maxed out on the Ecoflow DP's at 21kw hours and 3.2 KW solar input utilizing their smart home panel for 120/220 circuits. Hysolis Apollo looks to me as the next level for whole house backup or...

I am on the same journey. Still gathering parts. I bought the same amount of solar panels/same brand from signature solar. I would like to use all 24 of mine and will most likely have to place a series/parallel string on at least 1 of the mppt charge controllers to use all 24 panels. From my...

Thanks!

1800+ watts would probably overwhelm. Good call and probably root cause. I am new to this forum and a diyer as well and have a few questions on your set up. Have you monitored temperature? I have seen other people. Like jerryrig everything on youtube place their Delta Pros in enclosed cabinetry...
