Hi my names Ryan and I’m new to the forum.
Im building out a 45’ shipping container with intentions of being fully sustainable/off the grid/ and debt free at the end of my build.
It has a kitchen, a bedroom, and a bathroom.
I’m in the rough phases of construction at the moment but I’d say I’m %60 completed.
It’s comfortable at the moment.
I’ve been working on this for a year now.
Currently the container is powered by a 6500 watt gas generator which is connected to a 4 prong 30amp chord which is wired into a panel with a few breakers which feed all my outlets and lights!
Wait…
Gas? Yes I know…Not exactly self sustainable at the moment.
I’m using the generator so I can test all my wiring/ enjoy the space I’ve built.
I’ve estimated my consumption based off of some Honda generator website?
My estimated usage added up to be around 3700 running watts. Generously
5600 surge watts.
I’m about to purchase one of two systems to get some solar power.
Either I’m going to go with an ecoflow delta pro or a growatt 6kw inverter and some server rack type batteries.
I know they’re entirely different systems all though they’re similar in pricing.
One supply’s more ac output.
One is portable.
I’ve heard great things about both.
My main question here and reason for posting in the first place is to see if anyone is powering up any tiny homes with the ecoflow delta pro and if so how’s it going?
How’d you do it? Are you powering a panel?
I’ve attached a few pictures of the inside and outside of the container and my generator enclosure which is also a mountain bike ramp.
Thanks for reading.
