Power Your Home for Weeks with EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X
▼ Summary
– EcoFlow has launched the Delta Pro Ultra X, its newest whole-home battery backup system marketed as “most powerful” and “easy-to-install.”
– The system delivers 12kW of continuous output, which can scale to 36kW with three inverters, a 60% increase over its predecessor.
– Battery capacity ranges from 12kWh to 180kWh, capable of powering an average US home for about six days at maximum capacity.
– It integrates with EcoFlow’s Smart Home Panel 3 for monitoring 32 circuits, supporting Time-of-Use pricing and compatibility with solar panels and generators.
– The modular system is designed for easy transport and scalability, with installation available in under seven days through certified partners across the US.
Powering a typical American household for nearly a week, the new EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra X home battery system offers a significant leap in capacity and output. This latest release builds upon the existing Delta Pro Ultra model, introducing a substantial boost in performance that makes it one of the most robust residential energy storage solutions available.
The “X” in the name appears to signify a major power upgrade. The system delivers a 60 percent increase in continuous power output compared to its predecessor, reaching 12kW. For even greater energy demands, linking three inverters together in a parallel configuration pushes the total continuous output to an impressive 36kW. This level of power is sufficient to run heavy-duty appliances like a central air conditioning unit, an induction cooktop, or an electric vehicle charger without interruption.
Capacity is equally scalable, starting at 12kWh and expanding all the way to a massive 180kWh. To put that into perspective, data from the US Energy Information Administration indicates the average home uses roughly 29.2 kilowatt-hours per day. A fully maxed-out system could therefore supply electricity for a complete household for approximately six days. If you are only running essential devices during an outage, that backup duration could extend to several weeks.
Integration is handled through EcoFlow’s third-generation Smart Home Panel. This 200-amp unit can be set up as either a main electrical panel or a subpanel, providing monitoring and control for up to 32 individual circuits. This allows homeowners to easily deactivate non-critical appliances to conserve power during an emergency. The system also supports Time-of-Use functionality, enabling it to automatically charge from the grid when electricity rates are low and discharge when prices are high, based on local forecasts. It is designed for compatibility with external gas generators, solar panel arrays, and EV chargers.
Maintaining the modular design of the earlier model, the Delta Pro Ultra X allows for a flexible approach to energy independence. You can start with a smaller setup and add more battery capacity or inverters later. The system is also portable, meaning you can relocate it to a new house or even take a single inverter and battery to a vacation property or recreational vehicle.
EcoFlow is emphasizing the simplicity of getting the system up and running. The company boasts a network of 425 certified installation partners spread across nearly every state. According to their official announcement, the entire Delta Pro Ultra X installation process, from scheduling to completion, takes under seven days. The on-site work by certified electricians is typically finished in a single day.
Pricing for a starter bundle, which includes one inverter and two expansion batteries, is set at $7,999. For homeowners who also need the Smart Home Panel 3, the bundle price increases to $10,899. The smart panel can also be purchased on its own for $2,999.
