What I like about using EcoFlow for home backup is how simple it is. No installation, no fuel, no maintenance schedule. When the power goes out, you’re not figuring things out—you already know what to do. Plug in what matters and move on. It’s not about powering everything, just making sure the important stuff keeps working. That alone makes outages a lot easier to deal with.

These two are the bad boys of camping.

Hey all, just wondering how many solar panels and of what watt rating to hook up to the EcoFlow Delta Pro Ultra 12kWh unit?

This may be of more interest during a major storm to some. But it may be of interest to others here, just because of all the talk of power outages. I'm sure many here know about this already. But for those that are not aware; there is a national power outage map. It breaks down outages state by state, county by county, and power company by power company. Here's the link for those interested. https://poweroutage.us/

#StormpreppingEF.. While I had a horrible winter this yr and my DPU 3 batteries , SHP2 and solar panels saved me this yr I can take a step back to 2012 before anyone had solar and revisit one of the worst storms I have ever lived through.July 22 2012 Tropical storm was created and started its journey to the Atlantic ocean. https://youtu.be/GhOo_rmMybI?si=IuxFER95HDg-FHdJOn July 28 Evacs and prep was in full force for my entire area of southern jersey. Before I was born the March Hurricane of 1962 was the last greatest Hurricane. I devastated the seafood beds, Wrecked boating companies and actually took 11 blocks of land back into the sea from an adjacent town called Longport which to this day has never come back. On July 28 By 11pm all emergency response teams were called off the streets due to win and power lines coming down Prepping back when wasn't solar panels ,or portable solar generators. It was gas generators which were cleared out of stores week before. Thank god I got one. We packed 4 large coolers of ice and water. Stocked house up with buckets of water to flush, tones of flashlights and batteries . Lots of can food and propane to cook on grills. We went without electric for 9 days after Sandy and we go lucky. The storm was a direct hit 20 miles north of me on the beach town called Brigantine. Tornados ,winds,floodng ,storm surge got us on the down side of the storm, but we got lucky

In July, I will be helping someone move from NH to Nevada. We will be driving a 26' Uhaul as well as an SUV; 2 people will be in the Uhaul, and 3 (including me) in the SUV. I will be flying back home afterwards.I'm already planning what power stations to bring since we will be mostly staying at rest areas instead of hotels. I don't expect to have the oportunity for solar charging since we will be driving during the day (and it is her SUV, so no solar panel will be mounted on the roof).I thought about taking a Trail 300, the Delta Air, or even a R3+ w/EB300 just to ensure that all phones are kept charged (I have no idea how many power outlets the SUV has). I would have to leave whatever I take in NV, as they are too big to bring back by plane. My problem is that I am too attached to my EF stations to give them away - LOL. I will be taking my EF Rapid 25k power bank that can be used on the plane.Last night I had an epiphany. I have a 700wh Oscal, that I rarely use. It was my very first power station, but is old tech and very slow to charge by AC. It can only take in 100w max solar too (for that size station, that is basically rediculous). I've used it for powering window fans and charging devices, but it has gone by the wayside as I've accumulated EF stations that charge faster and are better suited for the job.So, my plan is to take the Oscal and leave that. I may even take a 65w solar panel along with the Anderson connector for her to use. Since she would rarely use the station anyway, I don't feel too badly about leaving her a less capable station. The solar panel she could use to charge her phone when they are out in the wild country.So, am I a bad person for not wanting to give her one of my beloved EF stations, and instead giving her a station that I am less than enamoured with?

Yesterday evening (5/5/2026), I was feeding the cats their dinner of canned food and the lights flickered. Then there was a distinct power out for a couple of seconds. Then another flicker, then everything went totally out. I grabbed an EF camping light off the shelf about 3 steps away and used that while feeding the cats. When I opened the fridge to place the remainder of the can in there, the fridge's interior light startled me for a second. Oh yeah, I've been running the fridge off of solar charged power stations for the last couple of weeks. Of course it is still running. Then I checked my town's FB page and found that there was a wide area outage that affected my town, surrounding towns, and towns up to 15 miles away. I also noticed that I still had wifi. Well, that makes sense becuase I also run my computer/modem/router off of solar charged battery stations this time of year.I sat on the couch with the camping light on the coffee table scrolliing thru all the outage reports. I was just waiting to see a couple of things:1) How long the outage would be2) The reason for the outageIf the outage would be a while, I would either turn on a DP and set up my MTS to supply a few lights (turning off the breaker box of course), or grab the Bazooka light and use it. But, after 7 minutes, the power came back on in my area, so I was all set. The cause was several transformers blowing along the town's main street (and starting a brush fire to add insult to injury). Those closer to the transformers were out for longer that I was - the estimate was for up to 3.5 hours for them, although it turned out to be closer to 1.5 hours. This was the first time I've experienced a power outage over about 30 seconds since I've been collecting EF stations. It was interesting that I was so matter of fact about it - I didn't even hesitate about grabbing the camping light. No ROI needed - can't beat that peace of mind!

I don’t have much in the way of EcoFlow updates since I’ve been zooming out and about to events. I got some decent solar power for two hours today after I ran down the Delta 3 and before I had to hop in the car to drive to another concert. I’ll take it!

Got an email from my energy company telling me the new hours for non peak are 1am until 6am.We have been postphoning our major stuff until the non peak hours kicked in. For me I'm sleeping at 1am. How many more has a crazy non peak hour setup like this. They went on to say they are giving back a rebate of $9,000.00 for solar panels and home backup system. Catch is you have to use certain companies to buy your system from and installers. EcoFlow is not one of them. I think I smell some rotten fish.

Sitting and charging my phone up and was getting 39 watts from the handle included that has a usbc power cable.

River 2 max and predator 100 watt panel. Good sunny day laying flat at first with sun straight above it did better that way and then set panel up as sun was going down in the west.

One thing I’ve really come to appreciate about EcoFlow for outdoor use is how portable and flexible everything is. Whether it’s running lights at night, keeping a fan going in the heat, or charging devices out in the yard, it just works without a bunch of setup. The solar input is the real win outdoors—you can top things off during the day and keep going without worrying about running out of power. It’s a simple setup that makes being outside a lot more comfortable without needing extension cords everywhere.

Power outages are no longer rare events—they’re becoming part of everyday life. Whether caused by storms, grid instability, or unexpected failures, losing electricity at home can disrupt everything from food storage to communication and security. That’s where EcoFlow solutions stand out.EcoFlow portable power stations and home backup systems offer a practical, modern alternative to traditional generators. With fast charging, quiet operation, and zero emissions, they provide immediate and reliable energy when the grid goes down. Unlike fuel-based systems, there’s no need to worry about gasoline storage or fumes—just plug in and power your essentials.One of the biggest advantages is flexibility. EcoFlow systems can run critical appliances such as refrigerators, routers, lights, and even medical devices. With expandable battery capacity and solar compatibility, users can extend runtime and maintain independence during prolonged outages.Installation is straightforward, especially with plug-and-play designs that don’t require complex setup. For those looking for a more permanent solution, EcoFlow also offers whole-home backup integration options that seamlessly switch power sources when needed.In short, EcoFlow provides peace of mind. It’s not just about convenience—it’s about being prepared, protecting your home, and maintaining normal life even when the unexpected happens.

I have many Rapid power banks, but the key difference between them is cable or no cable. I actually prefer the fluted design better. More elegant. However, it has a weak magnet and sometimes doesn't charge at all through my phone case (sometimes it does). The one with the built in cable is reliable and always charges my phone.Sure, the white one can attach a USB cable too, but I lost that at a concert, which goes to show why a built-in cable is superior.

I would feel so much better having this around the pool… smart, clean, and just makes sense. Why not?

EF already have power kit, next step is full electric camper 😁

I would love this in my garden. Why not? 🌻
