    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    I responded to your PM but figured I would post in this thread as well: Our original installation was 09/2020 and inverter failure was around 06/2021 and I reinstalled the repaired unit in 08/2021. Since the initial repair on our Titan we have not had a single issue at all. It runs day and...

    Solar Generators & Customer Service - Bluetti, EcoFlow, Point Zero (Titan)

    Well I have had a Point Zero Titan for almost 2 years now in constant use at our remote cabin and I am still blown away at the customer service responses that I have received from them. I would not hesitate to purchase the Titan again as we have had such an awesome experience with their support...

    How to Connect Delta Pro to Electrical Box & Gas Generator to Delta Pro A/C To Recharge

    You can plug it into any wall outlet but you have to remember to unplug the AC charger every time you switch from gas generator to solar generator. I wired a dedicated outlet to just the gas generator side of the automatic transfer switch that has the AC charger for my Titan plugged in to it all...

    How to Connect Delta Pro to Electrical Box & Gas Generator to Delta Pro A/C To Recharge

    I actually have the exact same setup but with a Titan Solar Generator and use a 30 amp automatic transfer switch wired for the "shore power" to come from the gas generator and the Titan is the "inverter". I added a seperate AC plug to my electrical box that is only powered by the "shore power"...

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    Went out to the cabin and added the two additional expansion batteries. Didn't have time to really clean all the wiring up how I want it and need to lower the shelf but overall happy with the expansion.

    Awesome setup. What all are you planning to do with it? Cabin, home backup, etc? If you have questions let me know and I’ll be happy to help along the way.

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    1. Yes we have been running it constantly since our install over a year ago and plan on having it in daily use for years to come. 2. Yes mc4 connector ready for solar input 3. I think they said realistically connecting 6-8 batteries max because of the limitation of being able to charge them...

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    I would definitely go with whoever you have had the best responses from. In my opinion you can't go wrong purchasing directly from the manufacturer. At the time of my purchase Ben was very active and responsive but that was almost 2 years ago.

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    I will tell y’all that I ordered through Ben at Powered Portable Solar because I watched a bunch of his YouTube videos on the Titan and I figured it was worth purchasing through him since he was so instrumental in my decision making I felt like he deserved the small commission. I don’t think...

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    That’s what we found in every other solar unit with a decent size inverter was standby usage, parasitic inverter drain, etc. was between 30-50w/hr. I have no idea what the new stuff does though to be honest. With the Titan AC inverter sipping power at 15w/hr it was really the only option for us...

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    Battery life is 2000 cycles but not sure exactly when the degradation begins. I do know that the Titan batteries are underrated regarding capacity. The discharge capacity is closer to 2100-2200w capacity per battery. I think Point Zero figured that into the 10 years. I think in 10-15 years the...

    Titan Solar Generator 1.5 year update and review

    Only thing we found to solve our remote monitoring need has been to use an extra Arlo camera connected to our network at our cabin for visual monitoring real time.
