I almost bought myself an Ecoflow system today, consisting of a battery, some panels and an inverter. I'd like to power about 150W (my baseline usage) back to my house from solar at daytime, and charge the battery with any excess power. Drain the battery at night time to maintain the 150W. The advantage is that this system would be plug and play, and I can pick it up to go camping or move it to the kitchen to power the fridge if there is a power outage.
In the end I did not buy because the only way to configure and monitor this is using the Ecoflow app, which requires me to create an account and connect to the Ecoflow cloud. Autonomy. Independence. Ha.
