Hello friends at EcoFlow!👋Any leftover photovoltaic power during the day can be used to boil water.🚿☀️After connecting my-PV to the EcoFlow home energy system, you can manage compatible heating rods within the EcoFlow App, making the solar energy at home more useful.Currently, it only supports OCEAN 2 and OCEAN 2 Single-Phase along with AC ELWA 2.💡 What can I do after binding my-PV?☀️ Use the remaining electricity to boil waterIn solar mode, the heating rod uses residual photovoltaic electricity to heat water to the preset solar target temperature.🌡️ Manage heating as neededIt supports two modes: manual mode and solar mode. Manual mode supports boost heating, and turning on the heating switch quickly heats the water to the preset water temperature.⏰ Automate tasksThere are two types of automated tasks: timed heating to the minimum temperature and timed sterilization.📊 See clearly where the electricity comes fromOpen the data dashboard to check heating rod electricity usage by daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly views.📲 Ready to give it a try?Bind AC ELWA 2 in accordance with the guidelines, set the temperature, and add it to redundant PV priority. Once added, the device will switch from manual mode to solar mode.📸 It's all set up. Let's take a look!Post a screenshot of the bound device in the comments and tell us:Is it just set up, or has residual electricity been used for heating?If you're already using it, you can also post a screenshot of the data dashboard and write about something you've noticed so far.Still in the setup? Tell us where you're stuck and what you see in the app, and the community can discuss it together.Before sending screenshots, please conceal your personal information or device SN.Come and show off your photovoltaically heated water! ☀️👇

We are new to solar and don’t want a roof mounted array and don’t want a massive array that takes over the garden either, I would be happy with x2 - x4 200w or maybe up to x4 250w panels giving up to about 800w or 1000w plus whatever over production those panels manage, whilst making sure the volts stay inside the limit. I understand that over Watts and over Amps is generally ok.I know that I'm not going big with this, but...What are your thoughts about that small set up?

Need power where there isn’t a power point?The EcoFlow River 2 has you covered.Compact, lightweight, and surprisingly capable, it’s more than enough to run smaller tools like this chainsaw chain sharpener, which only draws around 85W while in use.Perfect for getting the job done wherever you are. 💪

Hello All, New member, first post :)I have been wanting a battery solution for some years as I have a 6kW electric boiler, but I couldn't install one as I live in a flat.These new plugin battery solutions seem to be a real game changer. Because it's a flat, a heat pump is a difficult decision, the install and up front costs even with the grant would make it hard to justify based on economics. I am already on a potentially green fuel so carbon reduction is not an argument either.My solution up until now was to fit a smart zoning system to control the heating (Evotouch by Honeywell/Resideo)This made a massive difference to running costs because rooms are only heated when needed, so the heat demand from the boiler is often reduced to a few hundred watts. It is off most of the time, and nothing is more efficient than something that is off :)I also switched to a time of use tariff (Octopus Cosy) so in addition to switching unused rooms down to a lower temperature I slightly tweak the temperatures up in others by 0.5°C 30 min before peak rate, and drop them again when the rate increased between 4 and 7pm. If the room is at a comfortable temperature this shift is unnoticeable but it is absolutely noticeable in the cost to run! [total electricity, including home use £95pcm (working from home, in Scotland) and we are £300 in credit]I have just hard wired an Ecoflow Stream AC Pro and it is fantastic!This is a toe in the water first step, but even this 2kWh battery can already cover all of the household demands with electricity at ±10p/kWh (Sept 2026 figure).This is saving of 13p/kWh on normal rate (13 hours) and 26.6p/kWh at peak rate (3 hours). The really good thing about the Cosy tariff is the three 'over night' rate periods so between 1pm and 4pm the battery recharges again. Hard to say just now, but I think payback will be about a yearI can see a second 2kW battery coming if Ecoflow prices fall to the normal EU levels :)Regards AtM

Many years ago if someone had told me that one day in the future I’d be interested in watching a number on a screen, slowly counting up whilst a small green line moves towards it. I would have replied, WHAT? Don’t you have a TV or a computer game? Get a hobby.But these days, yes I’ve been there, probably more often than I’m prepared to admit, watching the screen whilst the number goes up and yes I get excited, especially if it’s the light from the Sun that is making the green line.We’re addicted aren’t we.

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.

Que creen de la ecoflow

je trouve que les batteries ecoflow surtout les Stream de premières générations sont excellentes car elle envoie une puissance convenable pour un foyer de 3 personne au moins.

😍Ich hatte bereits vor knapp einem Jahr vorgeschlagen, neben der smarten Steckdose eventuell auch einen smarten Switch zu kreieren. Da nur ich die App auf meinem Handy habe, hat die Familie bei bestimmten Funktionen immer das nachsehen. Hier würde ich mich über einen smarten Switch freuen, der in das EcoFlow System eingebunden werden kann. Damit hält auch die Familie die Möglichkeit zum Beispiel beim Zubettgehen, die nicht benötigten Energiesteckdosen auszuschalten.Wie ich gelernt habe, hat jede AC Steckdose an der Stream einen Stand-by Verbrauch von 40 W bei sechs Systemen und jeweils zwei Steckdosen ist die Hochrechnung der Einsparung einfach.EcoFlow, ich hätte einen kleinen Wunsch mit großer Wirkung ♥️

💝Anbei stelle ich mal ein Bild ein, welches ich an Anfang 2025 kopiert habe. Mit meiner Powerstation von EcoFlow, den Panels von EcoFlow und damit verbunden. Den sagenhaften, super steuerbaren PowerStream von EcoFlow. Es war ein Spitzen ystem und wurde leider nicht weiterhin entwickelt. Die Produktion der PowerStream wurde sogar eingestellt.Mit dieser Lösung hatte EcoFlow eine Marktbeherrschende Bestellung.In Erinnerung

😀Ich habe lange versucht den Verbrauch und die Steuerung in meinem System zu optimieren. Besonders hat die Entladegeschwindigkeit bei den Streams zum nachdenken angeregt. Was bedeutet dies? Wenn wir abends Fernsehen gesehen haben, hat dieser 300-350 W verbraucht. Das hat die Stream extrem belastet, so dass es zur Nacht hin schon ordentlich entladen wurde. Ich habe nun ein Marstek 2500 vor den Solareingang der Stream Ultra gesetzt. Aus diesem speichere ich, wenn wir Fernsehen die benötigten 350 W konstant als Solarleistung ein. Dies schont die Stream und verhindert somit ein schnelles entladen. heute noch einmal geschaut. Es ist so, dass das gesamte System durch die zusätzliche Pufferung in dem Moment, wo ich fernsehe entlastet wird. Als weiteren Tipp habe ich die Grundlast in Höhe von knapp 120 W mit einer weiteren Kombination unterstützt. Auch hier behält die Stream System nahezu die Konstante Grundlast, was mich sehr freut.

One thing I didn’t really appreciate before getting into EcoFlow was how much the setup around the power station matters.The unit itself is obviously the main part, but then you start thinking about where you’re putting it, how you’re running cables, keeping everything protected, charging options, solar positioning and what you actually want accessible.I’ve probably spent almost as much time thinking about the setup as I have the power station itself

What made you choose EcoFlow over the other power station brands? 🤔I’m curious to hear what everyone else’s deciding factor was, especially with brands like Bluetti, Anker and others offering some pretty impressive units these days.For me, I eventually came to EcoFlow because it was the combination of a few things rather than just one feature.1. Fast charging was probably the biggest one. Being able to recharge so quickly makes a huge difference when you actually use the unit regularly.2. The UPS capability was another big factor. Having a powerful power station that can basically sit there ready to take over when needed is pretty convenient, especially for home backup.3. The design and overall convenience played a part too. I liked the idea of having something that looked and felt like a well thought out piece of technology, rather than just a big battery in a box.So for me it was really the combination of fast charging, powerful performance, UPS and convenience that pushed me towards EcoFlow.But I’m interested in hearing other people's reasoning. What made you choose EcoFlow over Bluetti, Anker, Jackery or another brand? Was it a particular feature, price, reliability, ecosystem, or just something about the overall package?

I was told that the 110w panel was too small to be useful. But it was purchased to top up a Delta 3 that would be powering a fridge freezer, which incidentally doesn't pull power all of the time, only really when the condenser is running, so it should cope.

I am doing some.searching to see if I can find a kit to convert 2 rigid solar panels to a foldable suitcase type setup. I'm thinking piano hinge on one end of the panels and some.sort of clasp on the other side. This would result in the solar part of the panels being on the outside when folded which is not ideal. The other bit would be a built in set of legs. Has anyone here done a build like that?

Before I purchased my first Ecoflow, I decided on My original specification list, my Wish list.4kW of battery storage, expandable would be nice but not essential. Min 1800w - 4000w Output. 5000w+ Surge ability. 4 or more standard plug sockets. Solar input of 1200w+ preferably with a 30A outlet socket for connection to manual switch box. On wheels for easier mobility. IP65 minimum protection. Designed to not look out of place in a house… I don’t want it to look like it belongs in a workshop or Frankenstein’s lab.The Ecoflow Delta Pro 3 matches this wish list almost perfectly, it actually exceeds it, so why didn’t I buy one? Even though it is my Dream Machine, At the time the D Pro 3 was £2899 and I had no hands on experience of these devices, so that was a big ask. So I Chickened out and decided to go modular, multiple smaller units added to as required.

One thing I’ve noticed with portable power is that the numbers on the box only tell part of the story.You can work out an estimated runtime from the battery capacity and the appliance wattage, but real world results can be a little different. Inverter losses, the appliance cycling on and off, temperature and even how the battery is being charged all come into it.That all needs to be taken into account when planning your setup.

One thing I’ve started doing with my Power Stations is checking the actual power draw before assuming how long something will run.Even a quick look at the wattage can give you a much better idea of what’s happening. I’ve found it especially useful when testing different appliances, because the numbers can be quite different from what I expected on paper.

Listen—you don’t need a big budget or a big power station to get started. You need a setup that works for YOU. 🔋Can’t afford a DELTA Ultra or Ultra Plus? Start smaller. Figure out what you want to run and how you’ll recharge—solar, a generator, or both. Then buy what fits your needs AND your pockets.I started with a DELTA 2 Max and a RIVER 2 Pro, and they worked for me! I have a DELTA Pro 3 now, but I built up slowly. My pockets aren’t that deep!I found used and new solar panels on Facebook Marketplace, used for no more than 50 cents per watt. Found some deals on Amazon, too. Little by little, I built my setup—and those smaller units are STILL putting in work.So get that DELTA 3 Max Plus, that DELTA 2 Max, or whatever fits your budget. Don’t let somebody else’s big setup intimidate you.Start small. Build smart. Make what you can afford work for YOU. 💪🏾

I purchased my two Ecoflow Delta 3’s as a backup power supply, in case there’s an outage. But an outage may not happen and as I’m not interested in a Grid Tied System, I use my Delta 3’s as islanded power supplys. Now that I’ve wired The Work Shop and the Garden Tool Shed together, via the Art Shack, one of our Delta 3’s is the only power supply that the 3 out buildings connect to. As a result, I should start to use my Ecoflow Delta 3’s more often.I’m very happy with that.I find myself, In the words of Tim the Toolman Taylor, wanting, ‘More Power’.
