Pros & Cons
Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus
Pros
- +6,000W continuous is more than most household circuits and covers essentially any appliance
- +53.8kWh of expansion is the largest here — genuine multi-day whole-home capability
- +3,200W of solar input with a very wide 11 to 165V range accepts almost any panel array
- +Eight AC outlets including two 240V options
Cons
- −136.7lb and $4,799 — this is an installed home-backup appliance, not a portable
- −20ms UPS switchover is slower than the 10ms class, and 30 to 50ms on generator power, which is marginal for sensitive equipment
- −Anker publishes no surge rating and no full-recharge figure
- −Only 12W from each USB-A port on a $4,799 product
EcoFlow DELTA Pro 3
Pros
- +240V output through an L14-30R means it can genuinely back-feed a house transfer switch, which almost nothing else here can
- +Expandable to 48kWh as a full system — this is whole-home territory
- +2,600W of solar input across dual MPPT
- +Its price has fallen roughly $900 from launch
Cons
- −113.5lb — it has wheels for a reason, and it is not going camping
- −The 6,000W X-Boost figure is voltage reduction, not true surge
- −Only two USB-C and two USB-A ports on a station this size
- −Full system expansion runs into five figures quickly
