    Excellent review and similar results I've obtained from these panels. Ecoflow seem to be leading the field in performance and innovation and it's hard to fault their products. Have a Delta Max 2 and it functions exceptionally well. Looking forward to the release of the Delta Pro 3 which seems a very capable unit. Thanks for sharing your impression with these products.

    Do you have the capability to test in parallel? I'm curious how much the wattage would vary in parallel. Also, doesn't the Ecoflow Delta Max have 2 connections in the back for 2 solar panels?

    So these 2 can be added for 440!? But 110+ 220 makes it slower to charge ! Am I correct ?? Also, what 3rd party affordable option I can add with 220 bifacial which is compatible in volts etc?!

      If you mix different panels, probably best to link in parallel, but manufacturers generally don’t recommend mixing. Sorry, I have no experience with other biracial panels.

    What size pv cable were you using for extensions? 12awg, 10awg or 8awg. They are also offering these panels with a new metal kickstands.

    • @gwebster65
      @gwebster65  2 місяці тому

      Good question: my cables are 12AWG.

    Regarding the bag, which isn't waterproof (and that is actually the reason I haven't pushed the button on this one yet)... what if you turned it outside in, as the inside of the bag seems to be a material that would be waterproof/resistant?

    • @gwebster65
      @gwebster65  24 дні тому

      I don’t think that would work and I’m not sure the interior material is any more waterproof or sturdy.

    I wonder if the panel is using MPPT controller inside? A victron MPPT attached to these panel would even be greater I would think

    • @gwebster65

      According to Ecoflow, the Delta Max's charge controller is MPPT.

    • @juliandwyer9367

      Panels do not have a controller and so one would need to purchase a separate controller. People who have a Ecoflow Delta series power pack will have a MPPT controller built into their pack and so it functions nicely with those products.

    750watts for a 120watts, house fan. So, 1500 should work for a 240 watts, AC window U shap unit.

    And Echo is what you hear when you shout into a canyon.... its EcoFlow not EchoFlow.

    Buyer beware. Ive now had 2 of ecoflows 160watt portable panels. Both have failed within 9 months. They put out 1/4 of their rated power after 9 months. One was replaced under warranty and the replacement panel they will not replace. Customer service is worthless, they know nothing about their products.

      Interesting! Hopefully, I will have a better experience.
