Hi everyone.
Really need help. I thought I had the system setup correctly but ended up damaging an Ecoflow Delta pro and toasted my Smart Panel. yesterday
-Setup:
-2 Ecoflow Delta pros connected to Ecoflow smart panel. They've been working in battery mode well with the smart panel running my house for about 5 days. No issues.
-12 REC 260W solar panels with the following specs:
Voc 37.8V (measured ~36V)
Impp 8.5A
Isc 9.01A
These are arranged with 3 panels in series, then 2 circuits run in parallel to each Delta Pro.
I have cut off switches to each Delta pro installed but misread that they were off (actually on) and as I made the final connections to the system, I could hear the smart panel fan speeding up fast and then suddenly stop. I jumped down from the ladder where I was doing the installation, and there was smoke coming from the smart panel. It no longer connects or powers up. Interestingly, my house still runs fine, so it looks like the panel is still able to act as a very expensive junction box.
One of the Delta pros has lost connectivity. It still seems like it powers the AC ports and usb ports but I only have bluetooth connectivity. Have not tried charging it.
Any thoughts on wiring up the panels that I missed or suggestions on changing the setup? Looking back at the specs, it possibly could have have been overcurrent, although the cut off switches are rated for 15A and did not trigger.
Man, that was an expensive lesson.
TIA
