Nice. I've got the Anker version but it's half the capacity at 1 KWh. It charges exclusively from 800W of PV input (though it can only handle 600W input) and can push out 2,000 W continuous and 3000 peak.
I've got a splitter from the PV that goes to both the Anker and a DC-DC converter which then goes to a few 12v -> USB power delivery adapters. Those can use the excess from the PV to charge power banks, phones, laptops, etc while the rest goes to the Anker (doesn't seem to affect the MPPT unless there's basically just no sunlight at all). Without the splitter, anything above 600W is wasted until I expand my setup later this spring.
All I can say for it is that it absolutely rocks! On sunny days, I run my entire homelab from it, my work-from-home office, charge all my devices, and run my refrigerator from it if I feel like running an extension cord). It's setup downstairs, so I also plug my washing machine into it and can get a few loads of laundry done as well.
All from its solar input.
