I've been looking into off grid power systems lately, and I think I've narrowed my choices down to an Ecoflow Pro Ultra, and expanding the battery system as financials allow.

I plan on having two solar panel systems, a collection of portable panels, and a static array of panels in the back yard from the secondhand market.

I already have a backup generator, but gas and propane are still a finite resource.

The Pro Ultra, isn't exactly easy to move around, but it's a hell of a lot more portable than a home brew solution.

Logically I'm planning on getting the hookups to my home breaker panel and shifting more electrical use to off peak hours and use the savings to finance expansion. Peak hour electric here ranges from 6c/kWH to 45c/kWH.

The 80%SOH is 35000 full drain cycles. Sunshine ain't really a problem here, and I was planning on building it out for no more than a 50% drain each cycle to extend the cycle life. LiFePo4 batteries, and I have a nice air conditioned nook to house everything.

Thats what the manufacturer states. You better look for the opinion of consumers. If its good they'll state it.
