“for the first time since us being on the hunt for a more affordable um Power Station this one is not an oops it's actually not a bad little unit”Open at 13:43
“when you go on the Opus website it's more of an oops the whole website is basically a recreation of eof flow's website and I get why but it doesn't give me confidence at all”Open at 10:38
“this unit Stacks up pretty well against the Delta Pro this is the main reason that a lot of companies actually exist in the first place”Open at 12:37
“this unit advertises Peak shaving on their website but there is no peak shaving functionality on the app which is just kind of a little bit of a buzz kill”Open at 11:17
“1,700 bucks that is a good deal for this”Open at 3:15
“this power station is a brute it weighs about 83 pounds it has an awful lot of components in it and that very large battery does have some weight to it”Open at 2:52
“this unit is very well designed and engineered and has a lot of really good built-in features that I'm going to talk about”Open at 1:33
“it can be charged up with six solar panels in about two and a half hours if you have really good Sun I think that is incredibly fast”Open at 4:22
“the one thing that I can say that's the major difference between my gas generator and the Opus unit is that the Opus is much quieter”Open at 6:36
“the only item in your home that this will not power is your central air that is usually because most central air conditioning units are 220 volts and this just does not supply 220 volts”Open at 2:29
Runtime predictions for your loads
Based on 3,072 Wh capacity · 95% LiFePO4 DoD · 90% AC inverter efficiency. Solar column assumes ~25% of rated input as sustained sun average. Phase-1 uses constant-load math; time-resolved multi-day SOC simulation is the Phase-2 north star.
| Load profile | Continuous draw | Runtime estimate |
|---|---|---|
| CPAP only (overnight) | 60W | 1.8 days |
| Fridge only (cycle-averaged) | 70W | 1.6 days |
| Wifi router + LED lights | 55W | 2.0 days |
| Your full continuous load (215W) | 215W | 12.2 hr |
| Microwave + base load (peak) | 1300W | 2.0 hr |
| Window AC 8,000 BTU (avg) | 700W | 3.8 hr |
