Im a contractor and i bought a house that burned down with plans to rebuild. I have a delta 2 and some panels and that has been getting me through for charging phones and tool batteries during demo. I feel like im going to need to buy something more soon as i spend more time there, for maybe a fridge and microwave.

Right now there is a deal on a pro 240v equivalent all -in-one system. I should probably buy 1, but these things can also work in pairs. Should i buy two and try to power the whole house off a pro pair system? Or should i just forget about and go with a modular system EG4 makes? Im probably going to heat and cool the house with 2 small mini splits and water heater will be hybrid electric heat pump. Electric stove too.

Maybe someone else has gone down this path and can tell me if there will be problems and short falls.
 
A fridge and microwave work fine on my delta 2 max. Consider the delta 2 like a Honda 2kW inverter generator but with limited runtime. You'd be surprised how far you can go with expansion using off the shelf 48V batteries connected to the solar inputs.

5kWh for $660:


Add scc and panels as needed to charge that.
 
I only bought 1 unit. And now that i got my deal ill share if anyone else is interested. A dryer or water heater is 50A each and 2x units is only 30A at 240. But this unit will be good for a microwave and fridge in my storage shed while i build the house. Im also going to charge batteries and run a security camera system.
