One of my favorite things in all of KZfaq is when Will gets animated about something unexpectedly cool like the units lifting the Model X.

Maybe it couldn't lift the Model X before because of extra weight with a full tank of gas. LMAO. Will, thanks for making the extra effort which switching the vehicles around. Love your happy demeanor!

I really like where these are headed. For people that want a plug and play system it’s nice for sure.

Thanks Will, Solar is becoming more available and affordable because of people like you!!!❤

Love these long in depth reviews. Great video.😊

Good video, and thorough... 'NEVER' watched a 39+min video before. 99% of the time, I only watch 10 to 15 min vid. Good presenters can do it in that time, with out 'repeating' and stretching/milking. Thanks.

Great video. Thanks for taking the time to do another one on this system. Extremely thorough!

You deserve/earned all the success you have procured. I enjoy learning and living vicariously thru your videos!

Incredible review. I haven't watched many of your videos lately because most of it goes over my head but I was able to hang with you from beginning to end in this one. Your talent is amazing and over the years I have followed you and it just gets better. But one thing I am glad about is the you have retained your sense of humor. This is a product I've added to my list of possibilities.

I appreciate the thoroughness of this video.

Very thorough review. Thanks Will.

Waw, this is by far the best I've seen so far!

This is one of your best reviews yet Will !! Thanks so much Neighbor

Amazingly packed with info! Thanks so much! I’m a beginner with solar. Looking forward to watching more of your content

Another excellent totally honest to the point video. If and when I go solar on my Spanish rural property I’ll be going back over your videos to get it right.

5K a box, very cool tech! Thanks for the review!

Very nice! Just what I have been looking for since 2020.

Thank you Will ! following since the "toyota and skateboard days" i gained the courage to DY solar in my own homeless circumstance, then was able to volunteer as a solar installer at one of the van build events and next year my own off grid project. Grateful for your dedication and perseverance to simplify and get results from manufacturers ! Cheers !

I really appreciate you making this video and breaking down the bros and cons of this all-in-one generator versus a DIY system

Thank you for your reviews. Very informative and you're ahead of the pack.

Thank you for performing this exhaustive test of the Apollo 5K. Gearing up to rebuild my off-grid homestead destroyed in the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon Fire, this will be the ideal portable solution for powering systems and tools during reconstruction, and then serve as the homestead’s power plant after project completion.

I really like this unit! I’m thinking about buying it!! Thanks for the review

Wow.... just Wow! Looks like a great set of products to make a small to medium sized solar system!

Thumbs up 👍 this will cause other manufacturers to rethink their products abilities 😊

Thanks for the review. This one looks really cool. Can't wait for you to get your hands on the new Anker as well. That one looks very promising.

Thanks for another great video Will!

Thanks man, for being such a positive force in today's world. 🙂

Outstanding Review. If Will blesses your system you have done your job.

Very juicy. I Still like separate components but this is awesome and will help many people. More people using solar is important.

Will, love your videos. You have me so close to getting a PV system. However, you get very excited about this product them come up with some pretty significant down sides! I'm thinking of the EG4 18K system based your review.

Am Felix from Kenya. Thanks for educating is Will. I love solar a lot and you have made me learn many things. Thanks again

WHOA!!! You've got 1 blue eye and 1 green eye...such a unique look, so COOL!!! Cheers from Denver Colorado.

Thanks so much! I've been waiting for this unit review for over a year! Great to see it coming to market. Already thinking about how I can gut my lead acid RV system and put this in. I've always wanted a system I can keep in the RV and run a cord inside my garage to add the RV solar + lithium batteries to my home system when I'm home 👍 Could probably do that with other options, but the battery pairing here might make it easier. Cost might be a bit of a sticking point though.

I so much agree about the annoyingly giant expansion battery cables that don't have a 90 degree adapter. The Apollo 5k looks like a beast, awesome to see how far this tech is going so quickly. Great video Will!

First, i am so glad you switched the cars around I was yelling the lift will pull more current under a larger load please switch and you listened thank you. Second, i am so excited to see all the new equipment, r&d and the prices coming down on solar related equipment. This (the industry) is getting great!

This is definitely the big system I would want.

This new unit is awesome! So many great features. Also very happy to see the AC500 lift both cars. I've been using one every day for about 2 months with my mobile car detailing setup and it's a beast. It'll run my Kranzle pressure washer, Eagle air compressor and Festool dust extractor simultaneously.

I love this channel. Such great content delivered by a truly beautiful man. ❤

Looks like a decent unit. Might be decent to lower power bills. Those batteries pretty rad.. I'm impressed. Thanks for the explanations bud. I'm glad to have a young buck like you to keep my ideas in check no kill myself

Awesome job Will. I just bought an Ecoflo Ultra, I wish you had done a video on it. They took your advise on a lot of stuff. I'll be watching to see your review of it.

You're a genius! Been watching lots of your videos the last couple of days. I'm still a total noob, but you're easy to follow and I feel more confident than I did a week ago :) I'll have to pick up some gear one of these days.

I love that the benchmark for the all in one solar gens is lifting a model x, heheheh. Poor Delta pro... its been great for us at our off grid set up but we are going to graduate to a EG4 set up after I watch your videos a few dozen more times! Thank you, Will!

My favorite thing to do is watch your videos and tally up the $$ in my mind that is worth each feature you go over..... This was the first one that was cheaper than I was expecting it to be. Legit nice system. If I ever get my cabin done This is likely where I'm looking.

You are the (Project Farm) of the solar world. Thank you for your input!!

Wishing you a Happy day Will! ✌️

Thanks Will one of your best videos, especially the reasons for this unit or doing a DIY system.😊

Thx a lot Will, well, when it comes to technology, the sky is not even the limit. I just found one that I already love the EG4 18K-PV and I'm not going for anything else

Impressed with the engineering, I'm more of a practical vs design, (buttons wear out, and I want a huge "LATCH" for on/off, just me), but looks like they really pushed the engineering, manufacturing and design at the same time. thanks Will

This has much more capacity and capability than a unit I built just a couple of years ago, and its half the price. It’s really impressive the way these just keep getting better and better, while the price keeps going down per watt hour. Thanks Will!

Great review. It's really interesting that their panel UI looks a _LOT_ like the Bluetti interface, same icons and buttons and layout. Really competitive to have this on the market. Time to rethink my strategy and include at least 1 of these in my design. Biggest flaw with my Bluetti system is the lack of autonomy.

Might have a great contender for Ford Transit camper idea I'm cooking up. Thanks for the info.

Great video Will; thank you!

As I said on Minute man prep channel when he reviewed them last week now having a plastic case instead of a metal case helps the voltage leakage issue!

Thank you for another thorough review! I am glad that someone is addressing the grounding issue, however, IEC690 will not like that ground stake. As for the 90 degree cables, check out the new Pecron.

I love my bluetti but the hysolis is awesome and has some really cool features 😎

Another fascinating video. The solar industry should be sponsoring your channel!

Good job as always, bro.

Before watching the video, I wanted to know the price. I was shocked to see it so high and almost "clicked away" But You have always provided the best reviews, and they are entertaining. This unit is by far is the best by its capabilities. Though I was dead set on the Eco Flow Delta Pro, This is the new contender. Thank you, Will, for all you do to provide us with your honest reviews.

Thanks for such an informative video

Solid review, i would assume the quality inside is great for the price.

Impressive collection of devices.

Hello Will, You never cease to amaze me. You come across with a clear explanation it seems simple for you to compare the end results. Some time you get a little uppity but it's well chosen it's a clear sign of the have, and have knots. I have been following you from the beginning in the old classy motorhome. You came up with some incredible ideas as usual like using the Tesla battery. I'm just an old geezer that is yet to complete my system due to cost. I have been able to install for 250 W solar panels in conjunction with 2 MPPT controllers. I was never able to move up to lithium batteries I'm still running on lead acid and they just can't keep up. So that being said if for some reason you find yourself with a couple of extra lithium batteries that you don’t need, I would sincerely appreciated them. If not you take care and stay safe, thank you.

Thank you! I was about to pull the trigger on the EcoFlow Delta Pro ; I still might if they come out with a new and improved model soon. I am a Solar power noob so your channel is SUPER informative and well done.

Nice video review, and nice product for amateurs who want something simple for a RV, or other mobile electrical setup. It's great that a company finally listened to your wish list and added the missing features to a portable solar generator. This will be great for competition. I hope that Anker will come up with a software update for my Powerhouse 767 that adds some of this functionality.

Great job on video very informative, thank you.

We have run our lift when it is connected to our inverter and found it works best if you release the cable with the lift in a locked position before you try. In that way, there is some slack in the cables and this gives the motor a chance to spin up and start pumping fluid before the cable gets tight enough to start lifting the ramps and thus the vehicle weight. Worth a try.

Your enthusiasm for PV systems is infectious 😁love your work brother.🫂❤️

Will, I am a senior Intelligent Transportation Systems Technician and I just wanted to tell you how much I enjoy your videos. You geek out over tech and go deep in your testing and explanation. Thank you for working so hard and putting out such great videos. All the best.

Wow, With a 118Kwh that's a small Sub Station, I loved the Bluetti EB Series but this thing is like and EB on Steriods, Nothing on the planet compares to this, It's like a Tesla in a Box, Great review Will, I think this thing has just changed the world of SoGens and Off Grid Power, I'm quite speechless not knowing what to think, It kind of Blitz's everything we know about SoGens, One thing for sure it's too big to be called a SoGen, I wonder what the 118Kw set up weighs and how big it is ??, Oh Thanks for the 2 Books on RV Solar Will, best books ever No fuss just real world Info. Great Video.

I ordered the Apollo about a year ago... I'm happy they fixed the issues and am hopeful it arrives soon

Great vidia. I like your attention to detail.

Great video, informative and clear

Great info. Good stuff. Yay interwebs.

Awesome, thank you!!

Now we need a battery tear down video of this unit, that would be epic 😎

I wish other KZfaqrs were as thorough as you Will. Most will just accept what companies tell them then repeat it to us without correct testing procedures

One feature I will be doing on my own eventually, considering that inverters are mostly most efficient running near max power, I think having a low power inverter ( running lights, tv etc. and a 2nd inverter for hi power runs ( electric lawnmower , washing & dryer etc.

I watch your videos religiously. I'm not electric friendly at all, but am trying to learn. My wife and I purchased a plot of land and we're so far from utilities that we need off grid systems. I believe something like this or the EG4 system you have is what we'll need.

Great Video will!

This looks awesome thanks for sharing the update. Any plans to review the Zendure Superbase V?

Great video. Thank you. Michael

Hi Will - Great video content. Thank you for providing these videos as they are very educational. I was interested in getting the Hysolis Apollo 5K Generator, however, I want to wait to see a good review by you or other independent content providers on the Echo Flow Delta Pro Ultra. I would like to better understand how these two Solar Generators stack up against each other and which one you think is Better for Home use as a backup system.

THIS KID KNOWS AND IS COMFORTABLE ❤️HANDLING❤️ AND DISCUSSING ANY AND ALL OF THIS UNLIKE MANY 60 YEAR OLD ELECTRICIANS😳 HE DOES A BETTER SMOOTHER JOB THAN THE COMPANY AND ENGINEERS THAT 🤯DESIGNED AND BUILT IT🤯 WHAT A KID⭐️ SHOULD BE A MILLIONAIRE ANY DAY NOW😳😳😳😳

Incredible lifting model x

Awesome..! 40 minutes of Will... I love his enthusiasm...

Impressive product and review.

Hello Will, I have been following your videos since back when you were operating out of an RV. Thank you for such a massive amount of unbiased information. I'm having a problem with my renogy 200 amp hour lithium iron phosphate batteries. I originally bought two of them. After one year one of them failed and was sent back to renogy in California. They replaced that battery. Now I have another battery that has failed it refuses to charge above 25%. The other battery works just fine using the same solar system in my RV it is all renogy 400-watt s of solar panels, 40 amp mppt charger, DC to DC charger, 3k charger inverter. I am one-hundred-per-cent electric in my RV. I don't know if I should stick with renogy or switch to a different type of battery the original reason for all the renogy equipment was it was available through a big-box store where I had a credit card.

Great product!

After watching many of your vids, I think you now have enough solar to run a small town.😂👍

Thanks Will.

This system is expensive but has literally everything. I may end up with this one. Been thinking about Bluetti AC300 but this has better starting features and more expansion opportunities.

Ecoflow delta over 2 years with no problems! My daughter is the only person that has overloaded it 1 time! Blow dryer and vacuum with the curling iron did it. Not sure how she did it but when she comes over I flip over to the grid😂😂😂

Another great inductive load test would be to power a large table saw! I've measured up to 82 amps required to start those motors! My AC500 couldn't do it...

That is very impressive for what it is and for those of us who are not DIY, it has a lot of advantages. I went on their website and they do have a unit that is much larger for around $9k that I would love to see a review on. Such a huge market of people who just aren't going to be able to DIY.

Nice video thanks.

In a world where politicians, who are mostly from the lawyering realm, are blatantly raising the dishonest bar, I love how Will happily admits when he is wrong. Even better, he calls out failures by name and people aren't dropping over dead. Instead, they either get better or get out of business. This is how the world should run. Good job, Will. If you ever start a business and need someone that can create an amazing team, hit me up.

Great presentation. I think you should have hook the Eco flow to the 30 amp plug to try to operate the lift. But you didn't on the other one so I get it. I'm an Exo flow guy cuz I just picked one up online for $1,700. I don't think I'll be getting any other ones for a couple years. But I am going to figure out how to use for 100 amp hour batteries to supplement my EcoFlow Delta pro.

More than anything your improving the industry. The solid state batteries are the next thing now. Higher capacity lithiums.

Very nice sir thanks for sharing this six stars
