[updated review] The EB150 is a great device that I would recommend to anyone looking to lower their reliance on the grid and in turn save money. The device does cost quite a bit but when you factor in the new Ofgem price cap increases in the UK (another one in October 2022 and again in January 2023) plus what's actually in the EB150 (Lithium Polymer batteries, high solar input / MPPT), it's actually well priced. You could create a similar setup using other devices such as a Growatt / your own batteries and save a few pounds but in the end what you save (in my opinion) wouldn't be worth it. The convenience of having an 'all in one' solution packaged in a metal case without the need to start wiring anything up is worth paying that bit extra for. I have had my EB150 for over a year now hooked up to 6 solar panels (160watts each) in a 2S3P setup. This means in the UK I get on average 380watts input for most of the day (up to 440 watts if it's cold and sunny (cold = more volts) ). By swapping some devices to more energy efficient ones, we have managed to completely take our small home office off the grid (saving around 3-5 KwH per day). We have had 2 power cuts this year, one lasting for several hours and both times we were able to continue working. On the 2nd power cut I realised I could take advantage and called BT to complain about our FTTC internet connection. BT's usual excuse was the speeds were slow and the line is unstable due to the volume of customers. However, during the power cut, they couldn't use this excuse (since I was pretty sure I was the only one in our small village that had power)! After explaining this to them, it allowed us to get an engineer out and fix the broadband issues. After various experimenting we found an oil heater that the EB150 can power for several hours (PELONIS PHOENIX 7E Oil Filled Radiator 1500W an amazon). Whilst the highest setting trips the EB150 (since its 1500watts), the lower settings (600 and 900watts) allow us to power it for several hours. This has been great at keeping the gas bills down by allowing us to heat our lounge at nights. I have checked the solar inputs on the EB150 using a watt meter (see image) and they are pretty accurate. Two things are worth noting though, 1) the EB150 will not register any input on the display if the solar input is under 40 watts (however, the watt meter used for testing showed that current was flowing into the EB150 so it was still charging at 40w, 2) for some reason when I turn on the AC and plug my phone (or my partners) into the AC socket, both android phones don't seem to respond to touch control. To be more precise, they seem to detect your finger but act like you tapped a separate section of the screen. The USB 5V and 45W charging ports do not experience this same issue. The phone still charged fine (allowed full fast 60W charge via AC) but it was a bit annoying not being able to use the phone at the same time. Again, not a game changer but something worth noting. I have seen some people online say the device is too heavy and whilst it is, you won't get a lighter or more compact device with the same battery capacity (especially not at this price point). As such, I'd take any review regarding weight with a pinch of salt. After a year of everyday use, we had our first issue (one of the fans started to make a grinding noise). It’s a very similar noise to when a computer fan is old and has a bit of dust trapped in the spindle. Whilst this is likely a very easy fix, opening it would likely void my warranty. As such I reached out to the seller who got back to me and explained they would arrange for collection and have the device fixed. I asked if I could instead of getting it fixed, return it and upgrade to the AC200P (I'm happy with the bluetti / PowerOAK brand so it seemed like a good time to upgrade). As such, this will likely be the last update on this review (assuming the return / refund goes well etc with LH Power-UK (used to trade under MAXOAK Direct-UK). Overall, the Eb150 is a good device and something I would recommend. If your budget can stretch it, try and go for the higher battery models (EB240 has 2.4kwh). In the long run (especially with the way gas / electric prices are going), you will be thankful of the extra battery capacity.
