That is really odd the EcoFlow doesn't charge at all when you cover 1 of the 4 panels. It should just like the Bluetti cancel out the 2nd panel pretty much and just run power off the 2 panels on the left. That is really strange.
I hate the ecoflow foldable panel design. I have the 110 and had the 160 but I returned the 160. The 110 watt panel came with my riverpro max 2 so I will keep it. Like you said there is no legs behind each panel.
Nav - Suggestion of buy a cheap ass lawn chair and disconnect the arm rests and place your 110w panel on that. keeps it at a good 45˚ angle and protects the panel from damage and keeps the case from getting dirt and junk and getting damage over time being used as a cheap stand.
@@alyujchik yeah..that its a bifacial panel. Alot different than the 160 and 100...seems nice. I wish they would put some kind of stand at the back of the panel.
I bought a couple cheap ass adult size lawn chairs, disconnected the arm rests on both lined them up and placed my EcoFlow 160 on it and it works perfect. The panel is about 2 feet up and is pretty straight at a decent 45˚ angle. It can take some decent wind without tipping over. This offers protection from the dirt, rocks, cement and other junk that can do damage and cause fading overtime not to the EcoFlow solar panel, but to the case as well. I paid $10 per chair. Pretty sweet deal and the chairs fold right up and it is far cheaper than making your own stand. From my testing you can use a panel up to 220w and it should hold up just fine. I did try using my Bluetti 350w solar panel but due to the 3' width and 8' Length it was just too big without a 3rd lawn chair. It would hold fine with three, but not very wind resistant because of the weight and how high up it would be. Maybe, make some metal braces you could add and that would help it in the wind. I will probably just get some soft rubber pads I can place down for the Bluetti 350w solar panel to help protect it from damage.
Both can handle a bit of rain but it should not be left outside and get it soaked, ive tried it...there is no use for it outside if its raining anyways, will not generate much solar input. Might as well be safe and keep it dry inside.
I was making a couple different diagrams on an alternative stands for my EcoFlow and after skimping down a bit and was going to just make some sticks with rubber feet on 1 side and a bolt on the other to hold the panel in place. I figured out using some cheap lawn chairs instead. Remove the arm rests and setup the panel on it. So far works great on a small solar panel. I ended up using 2 cheap lawn chairs at Walmart for $10 a piece and they could hold up a solar panel of 220w with no problems. a Bluetti 350w with a wing span of 8' not so much!
You attach the case to the panel as the stand for it. That’s why there’s the two carabiners on the case. It positions the panel at the perfect angle. I have 2 of them and they work great. Look at the pics on their website to see how the case is used as the stand.
try the bigblue 120 ..I think you will like it !

Yeah...its basically how its wired within the panel. But the bigger panel from ecoflow seems to be wired just like bluetti.
Una pregunta los.paneles ecoflow son compatibles con ac60y ac180 de bluetti soy inesperto en esto me ayudarian con sus comentarios gracias
Remember the more the power station i charged the more the power inflow will drop
Good point

Yup...Agree. hope your enjoying the river 2 max

@Saint Kenny that's a good idea. I've also seen people use guitar stands which is another cheap and portable solution
I have an Ecoflow delta 2 but use a bluetti panel.
Don't you know - a 160 watt EcoFlow panel also goes to 0W with partial shading?
Possible...it seems it is made the same way...
@@jaypstech Here you can see that 220W does work in shade - ua-cam.com/video/plyLGnLldjc/v-deo.html

Are they both waterproof?

I seen a UA-cam video where the guy sticks the EcoFlow in a river and it still charges just great. Now that is water resistance!
@@BlueDroneBlues thats crazy
My 100 watt Thunderbolt solar panels I bought from harbor freight are better and are much cheaper.
Thanks for that..
Foldable or rigid?
The ecoflow with no legs doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, do they expect the users to just improvise everytime.
Yeah...they need to redesign their solar panels.
