How to Go Off-Grid Using the Delta Pro Ultra: A Beginner’s Guide
Off-Grid Using the Delta Pro Ultra – Living off-grid has become a growing trend in recent years, as people want to take control of their power usage and reduce their carbon footprint. With advancements in technology, it’s now easier than ever to go off-grid and live sustainably, without sacrificing modern comforts. One of the ways to achieve this is by using the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra, a powerful solar generator that can provide continuous electricity for your household.
But first, what exactly is off-grid living? It means disconnecting from the traditional power grid and generating your own electricity through renewable sources like solar panels or wind turbines. This allows you to be self-sufficient and reduce or eliminate your reliance on fossil fuels.
The Delta Pro Ultra from EcoFlow is an all-in-one solution for off-grid living. It combines a high-performance lithium-ion battery, a powerful 7200W inverter, and multiple charging options into one compact and portable unit. With its expandable battery pack and high input/output capacity, it’s ideal for powering a variety of appliances and devices in your home.
So, how exactly can you use the Delta Pro Ultra to go off-grid? Let’s break it down into simple steps:
Step 1: Install a Generator Outlet and Interlock Switch
Before you can use the Delta Pro Ultra to power your home, you need to have an electrician install a generator outlet and an interlock switch in your main electrical panel. This will allow you to disconnect from the grid and supply power to your house through the Delta Pro Ultra.
Step 2: Connect the Delta Pro Ultra to Your House
Once the generator outlet and interlock switch are installed, you can connect the Delta Pro Ultra to your house. Start by getting an L14-30 extension cable and an L14-30P to SS2-50R adapter. Plug the adapter into the generator outlet and connect the extension cable to it. Then, plug the other end of the extension cable into the 240-volt outlet of the Delta Pro Ultra.
Step 3: Turn on the Delta Pro Ultra and the AC Output
With everything connected, turn on the Delta Pro Ultra and make sure the AC output is turned off to avoid any power surges. Next, go back to your main electrical panel and turn off the main breaker, then turn on the generator breaker. This will disconnect your house from the grid and allow you to use the Delta Pro Ultra as your main power source.
Step 4: Monitor Your Power Usage
The Delta Pro Ultra has a high input capacity of 5600 watts split between high and low voltage solar inputs. To maximize its efficiency, it’s recommended to install 14 solar panels (10 for high voltage and 4 for low voltage). These can be connected using solar cable extensions for easier use.
To monitor how much power you’re using and producing, you can use the Power Insight tablet from EcoFlow. It displays important information such as battery capacity, temperature, solar input, and expected run/charge time. With this information, you can make adjustments to optimize your power usage.
Step 5: Live Life Like Normal
With the Delta Pro Ultra powering your house, you can continue living life like normal without worrying about power outages or energy bills. You can run multiple appliances and devices simultaneously, including refrigerators, freezers, washing machines, dryers, water heaters, furnaces, stoves, ovens, TVs, computers, lights, air fryers, toasters, microwaves, and more.
The Delta Pro Ultra is also equipped with an EMP Shield to protect your electrical panel from any surges or spikes in power. And thanks to its high input capacity, you can even run heavy electrical items like electric dryers and heating elements.
How Long Will It Last?
The answer is, it depends. With the Delta Pro Ultra, you have the option to expand the battery pack, allowing for longer periods of power usage. As a general rule, the more solar panels you have connected and the more efficient you are with your power usage, the longer the Delta Pro Ultra will last.
In a real-life scenario, one family used the Delta Pro Ultra bronze kit with four extra panels from Powered Portable Solar to run their household for a week without any issues. They were able to power multiple appliances and devices, including gas-powered items like a furnace and stove.
However, it’s always best to have a backup plan in case of extended cloudy days or high power usage. In such cases, having two Delta Pro Ultras would be ideal for optimal performance and peace of mind.
Conclusion
Going off-grid with the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra is not only environmentally friendly, but it also gives you more control over your power usage and saves you money in the long run. With its expandable battery pack and high input/output capacity, it’s a reliable and efficient solution for powering your home off-grid.
