Moments with Energy

A glacier can look permanent—quiet, enormous, almost too old to change. But it’s changing faster than many of us realize.Since 1975, glaciers worldwide have lost more than 9 trillion tonnes of ice. In 2025 alone, another 408 billion tonnes disappeared—enough to fill five Olympic-sized swimming pools every second for an entire year.Researchers modelled more than 200,000 glaciers and found that with 1.5°C of warming, more than half could disappear by 2100. At 2.7°C, only around one-fifth may remain. Every fraction of a degree can affect how much ice survives. Between 1990 and 2020, glaciers across the Hindu Kush–Himalayan region lost about 12% of their area and 9% of their ice reserves.And the risks don’t end when the ice disappears. Rapid melting can destabilize mountain slopes and increase the risk of floods, avalanches, and landslides. Shrinking glaciers can also reduce dry-season river flows, while rising sea levels threaten coastal communities. The recent glacier and rock collapse near the Nepal–China border showed how quickly changes in the mountains can affect communities downstream. Across the United States, longer heat waves, heavier downpours, flash floods, and dangerous wildfire conditions are also becoming more familiar.This is one reason cleaner energy matters. Saving energy at home, choosing efficient appliances, and using solar panels where practical can all help reduce our dependence on fossil fuels. As home solar becomes more accessible, more households can generate electricity with fewer emissions. No single household can protect a glacier on its own. But millions of individual choices, supported by cleaner technology and stronger policies, can help slow the warming that puts them at risk.Have you ever seen a glacier or permanent snowfield in person? What natural place do you hope will still look the same 50 years from now?And if you use solar energy, what convinced you to make the switch? 🌍Sources: WGMS, WMO, ICIMOD, ETH Zurich, NOAA, and U.S. EPA

The Delta 3 Ultra + working hard. I've been bombarded by FB with crispy pork belly reels since I watched one. I finally decided to try it using an airfyer (no oil splash and burns). Having Ecoflow around and having solar recharge it makes it easy to decide using high energy usage appliances. It takes at least 40 minutes, so that's a lot of high wattage use. Play the video if you want to hear the crispy crunchy yummy delicacy. 😋

Recently had a bad hail storm at my house. Got be wondering, how do EcoFlow panels hold up to these kind of weather events? Anyone have experience they can share?

Since I will have multiple wires from the transfer switch and the SHP2, to make things perfectly clear what goes where, I will use black and red wire to one box, then purple and pink wire to the other so it is really obvious what goes where. If and when I add a third whole home box, I will go buy two more spools of different colors. This is going to be fun.

I added this as a comment to EF talk, but here it is as a separate post because Until I typed it, I hadn't realised how long ago this all started. 35 years ago I worked in a big building that had a huge backup generator set up Capable of powering about 120 rooms.A large Rolls Royce engine connected to a GEC generator.It was so impressive that I wanted backup power for the house, just in case there was an outage, but Working hard, loads of overtime, always busy, one thing after another, I never got around to it, until late last year when I decided to start getting backup power.I purchased my first Ecoflow, shortly after that I got my second. In simulated power outages they have proved to be useful. My original wish list was for 4kW of stored power. At the moment we’ve got 2.5kW Obviously, it would appear that my journey isn’t complete yet.

hello, my name is Tom and I’m gonna share a story of my Delta pro ultra three batteries home smart panel two how it allows me to live off the grid almost 24 seven I purchased my system back in October. We have had one of the most cold winners, brutal winners in the last 30 years. I had five outages between December and February . Never at one time did my Delta pro ultra how smart penalty system ever Skipped beat and allowed me to stay warm and safe throughout that three months. Now we are going into March and just last week we had tornado warnings and giant wind storms which cause Electric to be out for 24 hours. My system was up and running again

In preparation for the hot weather, I just want to share my Ecoflow gear I use when I go out boondocking in the summer time. Last year I went on a camping trip spending a couple of days in the hot desert, and ending it with three days in the Eastern Sierra mountains. SoCal was in a middle of a heatwave, so I brought all my EcoFlow toys to make my RV comfortable by powering my 13,500btu air conditioner with no soft start all week long. I brought my original Delta Pro and one extra battery inside my truck connected to my Alternator Chargers. I have my Delta Pro 3 with two extra batteries as my main power supply for my trailer. And I have three LiTime 12.8v 280AH batteries wired in series with a 3k inverter. For those doing the math, that’s 30.1kWh worth of power. I used the DP3 as my main power supply because of it’s 4kw inverter. Since I don’t have a soft start, the LiTime batteries and it’s 3kw inverter wouldn’t be able to handle the surge. So I would just plug the DP3 straight into my inverter to replenish as needed. I run my EF SG4000 during the day when solar isn’t keeping up. And finally I use my original DP in my truck to power my Starlink Gen3 and also quietly power dump to my batteries in my trailer during the night as needed. Now some may think it’s overkill, but I think it’s perfect. I ran my air conditioner and stayed comfortable using electricity with impunity. All my EcoFlow products ran perfectly making my spontaneous weeklong camping trip comfortable.

I am semi-retired and now write for a site that covers the lithium industry, mining, and recycling. As long as I have a cell connection, I can work, so I lead a mostly nomadic life and have built a Cadillac Escalade as a camper. For the last two years, I have been using an older Bluetti with a 100-watt solar panel. It was kind of fine; it allowed me to keep things charged and run my 30L 12-volt fridge. But this winter, I was tired of the capacity angst and upgraded to a Delta 3 Plus with two more 100-watt panels.Typical 24 hours:Echo, tablets, phone, lights: 200WhFridge: 250Wh. On this, it is an old Indel B, and while working, the thermistor seems to fail every six months, but it works for now.Fan: I run this when it is warm for about 12 hours, 150WhBlanket: I run this when it is cold, 200-300WhTwo panels in parallel or series depending on my location and one panel just by itself, connected to the Delta 3 Plus with a 2 foot 10awg MC4 to XT60I cable.I end up around 30% by the time solar kicks in, which I average around 250W i have seen around 290 on high altitude cloud days with two of the panels in series, and get fully charged back up in no more than five hours, averaging four. I stayed with the smaller 100 watt panels since I can toss on the roof when traveling and no problem pulling them back off to layout around the camp. I was limited to about half that, or even a quarter, when it was cloudy and would struggle to keep the fridge running with the old system. And after a month using the Delta 3 Plus, I mostly set and forget it now.What I need to look into is adding more capacity and another panel so I can do more induction cooking, and a new fridge.

I dragged my DPU-X up to my second story office for this photoshoot. Okay, it's not directly powering my office devices (that's what my Delta 3 Air 1000 is doing, hidden behind the DPU-X).But I love how my entire whole home backup powers 95% of my home. Using 8 DPU batteries and 2 DPUs attached to my SHP2, all my major home circuits are powered by EcoFlow. If the SHP2 had space for a few more breakers, it would have been 100%.

One way I cut electricity costs in my house is by using portable power stations in my grandkids’ rooms.My granddaughter runs her entertainment center on a Delta 3 Ultra. She games a lot more than my grandson, so it made sense to give her the bigger battery. The Delta 3 Ultra stores about 3 kWh of energy, so her TV, computer, lights, and gaming setup can run for many hours without pulling power from the grid.My grandson uses a Delta 2 with an extra battery, and when he heads downstairs to play games, he just grabs the River 2 Pro and keeps going.Both rooms are powered by two 380W solar panels, so during the day the batteries recharge from the sun instead of the electric company.And the best part, 
If the power goes out, nothing changes for them.The TV, computer, lights — everything in the room still works. It’s basically a giant battery keeping the room powered so they’re not sitting in the dark waiting for the grid to come back.Whether I’m cutting electricity costs or dealing with an outage, my grandkids room stays powered. ⚡

If you know me, I'm a bit of a prepper who likes redundancy for when things hit the fan. I live in California, and the fear of earthquakes and the eventual "big one" is always on my mind. How else can I prepare for a prolonged outage? I've got rooftop that won't work when the grid is down.... booo! So had to buy other panels, rigid and portable, for a second non-grid tied array. I've got a dual fuel generator with multiple propane tanks, for those extra long outages. Also have a couple LFP batteries plugged into an alternator charger. Now my newest way to charge up! Courtesy of my wife's new Ioniq 9, vehicle to load. I tried it today and was able to get 800w into my Delta 3+ that was recently used for a planned outage. This is perhaps the easiest and fastest solution for charging up during an emergency or outage. Diversify your charging capabilities for those future emergencies!

🌪️ Has Hurricane Season Felt Quieter This Year?Have you noticed fewer hurricanes so far this year?According to NOAA’s latest outlook, the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season is now expected to be below normal, with a 75% chance of below-normal activity.But what’s behind the quieter forecast?One of the biggest factors is El Niño. As El Niño strengthens, it tends to increase vertical wind shear over the Atlantic, making it harder for tropical storms and hurricanes to form and intensify.Of course, hurricane activity depends on several interacting ocean and atmospheric conditions, including:🌊 Atlantic sea-surface temperatures💨 Wind shear and trade-wind patterns🌎 El Niño and other large-scale atmospheric conditionsThat’s also why a seasonal hurricane forecast can only estimate overall activity. It can’t predict exactly when or where a hurricane will make landfall.And a quieter season doesn’t mean there’s no risk.NOAA emphasizes that it only takes one hurricane or tropical storm to cause serious impacts. With the main Atlantic hurricane season activity typically concentrated from August through October, now is still a good time to review your preparedness plan.🔋 What’s in your hurricane preparedness plan?Before a storm arrives, what do you make sure you have ready?Share your hurricane preparedness tips in the comments below. 👇 🎁 Join the discussion and earn an extra 300 points!

Hi all, Not sure what I’m supposed to do here, but if it’s just about telling a story about how the ecoflow products has helped me in my life here it is.Well to begin, I started my journey down the ecoflow family of products because they were the easiest for me to figure out and setup, so I started my CamperVan setup with the ecoflow in mind. Also because I am homeless Veteran and needed to figure out how to live in my car and be able to continue to enjoy my video gaming hobbies. In July of 2023 I moved into my Honda Fit 2008 in order to make an attempt to move to south Carolina, from Maine. I lived there for about three months in my car in the sweltering heat and almost died of heat stroke haha. I only had the Delta 2 to work with at the time. Good enough for my phone and tablet games, but sadly the job I was relying on to hopefully buy a cheap home in the area; screwed me over, so I had to return to maine.But this was a blessing in disguise, because when I returned I got lucky and managed to get a better job as a school bus driver in Springfield ma; in February 2025, and continued to live in my Honda for a year; until August when I was able to save enough to upgrade to a Ram Pro Master 3500, and convert it into a CamperVan that took me 4 months to complete. I got the Delta Pro Ultra with 2 batteries, and incorporated it in my design. I could use more, but that's all I can afford, but it works good enough for me, for now.I will add all the pictures this post will allow to show what the process looked like. So now I live in my van, still homeless, but definitely more enjoyable than my Honda lol. Alright that's about all I can fit here for this story, as there's not enough space here to be more elaborate. Thanks and enjoy all, also thank you EcoFlow for your products as they were and still are a lifesaver for me, and I hope to continue to grow and expand with your brand, hopefully when I'm able to get a piece of land of my own. Until then, much Love & Peace. MP
