All the haters!! Lmao!! I have the delta pro and extra battery. I have the wave 2 but it sucks in my semi truck. Its works ok. I want to install a mini split. Do you have a video of you ac unit installation.? Im driving and this randomly came on RUclips that im listening to to. Stopped for BR. Read comments.. peoples!! Lol!
I’m surprised the delta 2 can handle the start up of a mini split. I plan on using a Delta Pro or Ultra for a 9k mini split. Ultra mainly for the silent running
Newbies here. Can I power my mini split v120 1200 btu and plug my solar panel input line to charge the unit at the same time? Extending my mini split run time?
I feed my delta 2 with 2 x 285 watt amerisolar polycristaline panels. IT delivers 420 to 480 wats easily. One advise, buy rather delta 2 Max, because of Higher invertor Power so you Can use IT with laundry machines.
Voc 38.7v. Vmp 31.7v. I measured in real conditions around 34.3 V and amps are 8A each. So in paraler conection around 16 amps. Delta 2 will limit current to 15 amps. So 15x 34.3=514.5 wats. Ekoflow delta 2 Has limit 500 wats fór solar imput.

@@factsstats3779I have the hybrid mini split. I have it connected to solar panels but also have it connected to the grid. You can run the mini split with only the solar panels. I leave it plugged in to the grid and when it needs additional power (cloudy days) it gets it from the grid.
Man! so happy you made this video! I am considering running same mini split for my single car garage, set up panels and run this separately from the house. Right on.
Did you end up doing anything with your garage? I am doing the exact same thing. Have a 10'x20' detached garage and going to build a temp insulated wall in the middle and have a 10'x10' escape AC room during blackouts. Just bought the delta 2 and the 220w panel and doing some tests. Plan to upgrade and get another battery and panel next year as well as a 2kw predator generator to use as a backup and supplement a few hours a day.
Hey wondering why you don't plug the Mr Cool directly into the EcoFlow? Do you know if you did plug into the ecoflow if the app would allow the battery to run down while only drawing from solar until a minimum battery set point?
True, technically it’s the only thing connected. So I do use the energy management feature to do what you mentioned. The reason it’s not direct wired to EcoFlow is because when it was first installed it was installed to the main panel. Only after purchasing the EcoFlow did I have the thought to power the ac from it
I can Plug my mini split with soft start directly into a portable power station ac outlet . Mine is not wired into my panel . I just installed 12 gage line with plug on my mini split and plug it into room outlet . It’s only a 9k btu unit which uses very little power . 110-150 watts when in maintenance mode .
Macbook Pros are pretty efficient, especially if they're Apple Silicon. I have to get on my wife to turn off our LED lights because they pull more power than my Macbook Pro and I go through a lot of effort to run it off of solar.
If you had a Delta 2 Max you would need to upgrade the panels going in. Or to save $ you could go with your current panels in series in to one in put and then a couple of larger panels in to the other. We don't have such Air Condition needs in the UK but it is always interesting to see how other people use their power stations and solar.
I installed 4 mini splits in my house . I chose 110v units as they are only 9k btu . 9k and 12k will have choices of either 110v or 220v .anything above 12k btu will be only 220v . They run nonstop regardless of 110v or 220v . Mini splits are designed to run nonstop . They ramp up power to cool down a room then reduce power to maintain . My mini split goes as low as 110-150 watts to maintain room temp . Very efficient . Going from central ac to mini split my power bill lowered by $120 month in Florida summer .
@@Robert_H_Diver not for inverter mini splits in cool mode . You do not want to shut them off then back on anyways . I did so manually thinking that would save power . All it did is increase humidity in the room . When cooling it gets really cold . If you shut them right down adding warm air quickly from shutting down. It becomes a wet mess . The next time you turn the mini split on it will shoot into the room wet humid air . I called up 3 different mini split companies all saying unit staying on in cool mode is intentional and necessary for those very reasons . Only in heat mode does it shut down when set temp is reached . When i do power off my mini split i turn on anti mildew mode which will dry the unit and i will run a dehumidifier to soak up all the moisture from the drying mode . If mini split where to cycle on and off like traditional central ac it would promote mold growth .
@carlosreyes6448 i already bought the lowest possible because i thought that would be more energy effictient. I mean i have a very very small van to power
It always baffles me why people go to the expense of buying the standard delta 2 when for a bit more money you can get the max which had twice the capacity
@@levih4174those prices are way off and this guy in the video has a 1kwh unit + a 1kwh extra battery you could get the max which is only a little bit more expensive but now it’s all in one box rather than 2 and you get the option of expanding later on if you need more, I really don’t understand the point of the standard delta and delta 2 it’s such a weird area of price/performance it’s not enough storage to do anything really worth while with when it comes to replacing a generator
Then pick another brand these are not cosmetic items they are functional why waste your money on something that only does half the job you need when you could buy something from a different manufacturer that will fit the same cost
Did you ever consider using the built in features of the Delta 2 to automize the power? You can set it up to when the batteries get to 20% then use wall power to charge it up to Ex:50%, this will continue until the solar charges the batteries back to over 50%. You will never need to manually switch the split ac from sources. You can also attach the Delta to your battery bank via solar to keep the system fully charged.
wholly cow about $6000 investment to run an ac in a little room for 1/2 day. Or a 650 watt frig for 2 to 4 hours. I can get a dual fuel 500 inverter and run 4 or 5 of my frigerator/freezers and get another one for a couple ac units at 1000 watts per and buy 5000 worth of propane. I get it the sun makes your energy but have to say the math doesn't make any sense. Every review of these solar generators are done by folks who get the products for free. I love the way the industry is going and at some point they will be there but at this time they are silly. You can drop like 50K on the Ultra's and still you don't have near the power for a hot Texas day with a 5 ton and 3 1/2 ton. Fossil Fuels make the world go around.
I disagree you wouldn't have a bill if you dropped 50 k on a full home solar set up easily that's here in phx so hotter than texas that's why here it's actually worth it now is it worth it everywhere absolutely not gotta look at average days and hours of sun ect
Talk reality I can get average 16% return from S&P index fund including dividends. Sometimes it's better to buy the most reasonably priced HVAC price/performance. When the battery/panel tech changes in 5 years you will want to upgrade.
I have eco flow delta 2 max. Wont even push a small heater so I doubt it will keep up. Bought the AC/heat unit from eco flow it would be great in a Van thats it.
A heat pump is 4 times as efficient as a heater. No building runs AC off batteries. Hospitals use diesel generators. It’s really strange people think batteries can run heavy loads indefinitely when commercial buildings can’t. The battery will hold essential loads and so I suggest a fan for grid outages
If you aren't mobile, why are you even using these in this situation. It's such a weird fragment of users who don't provide much useable data. You won't even survive the first wave of this being necessary. I bought a Delta 2, 2x 220w bifacial portable panels, a Glacier w/battery and a Wave2 w/battery, this black Friday. ~$3700 vs ~$5900. My Wave2 was free in every calculation. The conditions I can live in without sacrifice are mind boggling. Versus a room full of Apple laptops and users that still choose Apple. Wild.

Is there a 120v 18k? Those I think would be 240v. You would need to get the delta pro 3 or the delta pro ultra.

In Australia the Delta 2 is 240v straight out the box.
