    Off Grid - Solar Generator - and Permits?

    I realize I need to check my local township for details, but looking for any input on this. I live in the country with distant neighbors, small town, etc. We have solar generators in the basement, and want to connect them to permanent mounted solar panels on a shed in the back yard. Looking...

    Charging Solar Generator with gas or propane generator?

    We have three AC200P units, and looking at a Titan or Delta Pro for an upgrade. I am wondering, for days with no sun, can I re-charge them with any gas or propane generator as long as I use the AC wall charger? If that works I'd really prefer a propane generator - any recomendations?

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

    Looking at buying a larger solar generator than the AC200P to power more things in our home. Wondering how customer service has been for anyone with Bluetti or EcoFlow? Point Zero (Titan) has responded really well. The others I have not had so much luck with - always seems like the service...

    Recomend Transfer Switch for Solar Generator(s) AC200P and bigger

    Right now we have three AC200P units. I would like to be able to patch two of them into the house panel to power things. Eventually I want to upgrade to a bigger unit to replace one of them. I am thinking of going with two smaller transfer switches (4-6 breaker) instead of one larger one so...

    Running 240 volt well pump with Delta Pro's???

    I have been considering two Delta Pro's to run our well pump in an outage, or a Titan to just run our 120 items. I am wondering how well a pair of Delta Pro's could actually run a well pump? I won't have the funds to get the extra batteries for each. Our pump is actually listed as 230 V and 5...

    Running 240 volt items with solar generators?

    The new Delta Pro by EcoFlow claims you can run 240 if you have a pair of them to connect. Why can you do this with two of those, but not two others like a Titan?

    Can you split a line of solar into two?

    I have a line of 1000 watts coming into the house - I have not seen it go much over 100 volts. Is it possible to split this into two lines of 500 watts each? I am a newbie so not sure how that would work, but wondering if I could power two smaller units like that? It has MC4 connectors. Thanks!

    Titan generator vs. AC300 or Delta Pro

    So I almost pulled the trigger on the Delta Pro, but one thing keeps nagging me. It seems like the Delta Pro and AC300 have a pretty high self consumption compared to the Titan, along with the fact that you can use as much of the battery. Once you average those factors in, the Titan actually...

    Energy Efficient Electric Heaters?

    Can anyone recommend an electric space heater that is more efficient? We have one that runs with a fan - pretty standard - and it runs on 1500 watts/hour on high, about 850 on low. Open to any other types that may be better.

    Titain Solar Generator - Quality and Dependability

    Is the Titan a higher quality or more dependable than some thing like a Bluetti or Eco Flow? I actually prefer more basic operation and less frills - it usually means less to go wrong.

    Hello Everyone! I am new to solar as of last year. We put in a shed, with three strings of 200 watt Rich solar panels - 5 in each for a total of 1000 watts in series. I ran these into the house, and have three AC200P units - one for each set of panels. I did a lot of learning on what we can...

    AC300 or Titan - or something else?

    I am looking for a unit that will be used stationary for supplemental home power and back up when needed. It will run all the time. Eventually I'd like to use it in a small cabin for power. I have the AC200P unit and it works well, but not enough battery or solar input - but actually the...
