What exactly does this unit do?
I’ve had a read and I’m still not sure. Is it for connecting your roof mounted solar panels to your EcoFlow power station?

I’ve had a read and I’m still not sure. Is it for connecting your roof mounted solar panels to your EcoFlow power station?
No - it allows your EcoFlow to back feed into the mains supply in your house - like a fully fitted house battery or house solar panels.
Interesting if you have means of charging an EcoFlow off solar, or have enough to shift very cheap overnight electricity to the more useful daytime.
However they are a very very grey area to use regulation wise in the UK - which is why they never really fully launched here.
And no they are not in themselves useful for camper vans as they are grid tied - they will not work unless there is another supply of mains present - but if you have big EcoFlows and solar panels to charge them lying idle when you're not camping at that price it might be worth experimenting with a bit of free electricity.

i had one of those. . . it started my Domestic solar journey.
the UK version is 800W, EU version 600W.
but there is some talk about the way it back feeds the grid via a PLUG TOP.
no issue though, i had it running for months.
FWIW - ther are using the same format case for the new 800W Alternator charger.

Must take a shed load of AA batteries!
You want to have felt the weight in the batteries Wayne.
They came on a pallet and I took them off it to get my van back in the driveway.
I had to roll the boxes off the pallet.
They sent 1 guy to fit them.
I watched him struggle to get one out of the box. I ended up helping him lift them on to the brackets. And we both really struggled with them. Especially the high one.
There’s no way that poor guy could have fitted them himself.
I would have a word with your supplier about that, that's just not right! Your elbow is now playing up all because of those battery packs and their limited resources..
I offered to help. He really wasn’t meant to fit them that high as the guy who planned it first wanted the batteries and inverter slap bang on the front of my house miles away from the meter. Wasn’t having that so he then said opposite side of my door with cable running up and around my door. Wasn’t having that either.
So I basically told the installer that’s where they were going.
Really short lengths of cable making it more efficient and tidy.
Would have also been much easier to wire up with everything in the one place.
So didn’t mind me having to help.
I will however need to paint my old meter boxes now.
They look terrible next to the shiny new boxes.

Wolfbox G900 front & rear dash cam £163 plus an extra 5% off.
I bought one on Sunday for £189 and returned it after spotting the price drop yesterday. Hoping the always-on rear display is decent given that I don't have any rear windows.

Can I ask how much ? I'm monitoring cost decreases in solar set-ups before taking the plunge
It wasn’t cheap as it’s a pretty big system with a 30 year guarantee on efficiency.
There’s 11 of the big new generation solar panels, the inverter and the 2 Duracell 500w batteries.
We got a deal and one battery free.
I was £11.5k all in.
It will take 9 years to recoup our investment.
It should produce more than we need and return about £100 a year.
Here’s a screenshot of the Duracell app we got to monitor the system.
It shows watts coming in from panels our battery status and how much we are putting into the grid. As well as house usage.
I’ve seen over 4200w coming from the panels on a sunny day.
Our house runs off what we are producing from our panels then charges our batteries.
Once the batteries are full the power we produce goes into the grid.
The batteries last pretty much all night.
I dare say we will use the grid more in the winter but should put into the grid more than enough to cover it during the summer.
The Renogy 100w folding solar panel I got is at a good price again (£85) if you have Amazon Prime (at least until midnight!)
