@techmadeezy - Jak na to + styl
I bought two of the 400w Ecoflow panels with the Delta Pro - and gave them away. They were horrible to work with...I notice this reviewer didn't show the actual setup - that's because they are beyond awkward and heavy. As a woman with no assistance, I couldn't get them to set up correctly. Without a strong support (I had to use a wall) - they simply fell over. The cardboard case that is supposed to support them is a joke. You should NOT have to personally BUILD a framework for these panels when they are charging $1150 for them. This gentleman had some skills to wrestle them into place. The thing is - he shouldn't have had to.
Nice unboxing video. I can't wait to get my hands on them 400W solar panels.
I like the board idea!! I will be coping that setup!!! Thanks!
I have both the Delta Pro and an Extra Battery, I have put them side by side in a heavy duty utility cart. I find it much easier to move them around that way. I never thought of using the carrying case that way...thanks.
This is an awesome and very handy solar panel.
As always providing excellent content!!!
Thanks so much Elias
Thank you for the good review of the solar panel. I will definitely look it up.
Thank you
LOVE your video, helpful easy to learn from and best of all is seeing your fur baby, love her too😊
Thank you, we lost her just recently.
I’ve had my eyes on the EF Delta Pro for a while now. I’m convinced this panel and the tracker are the best option for my solar needs. Thank you for your time and detailed review. Give Brooklyn a belly rub for me 😎
Thank you
Solar tracker looks like it will be hard to get unless sold used. Don’t know why it hasn’t been available yet
I'll be definitely needing this bad boy for my Delta Max.
Nice to have 1 panel that can product good wattage
While watching the video… 50% concerned with the panels, 50% excited for the next scene with the pup. Great video, thanks for making it!
Thank you so much
I bought Eco flow max and decided to get a cheaper 200w solar panel for the price it calls for two of those it was still less than the Ecoflow one and they work just fine
Great video as always
Very informative...pretty close with my buying decision on getting the Delta Pro as well. You've convinced me on picking up a River Pro and a Delta Max 2000. Hoping you will review other solar panel options as well.
Thanks, yes working on that. Expensive definitely the 300w and up. I did one on thr 160w by EcoFlow, performanes pretty well, nice size also.
Thank you for the awesome review!
Thank you
Amazing video 👍😎
I just got this panel in today, and hooked up the stand in an open area of my house. The grommets in the panel are already stretching out after just a few minutes. Making the board with eyelets to hook the carabiners to will help this poor design. Thank you for sharing this information and giving credit to the fellow you got the idea from. (I just subscribed to your channel and will try to watch more later.)
Thanks
You certainly get a "thumbs-up" outta me. I subscribed a while ago. These are some of the best real-world videos. We live in eastern Canada ...& just got the panels delivered yesterday. The Delta 2 Max units are on the way. We went with a pair of them & four, 400-watt panels. I will have them mounted permanently on a fixture where I can access them. I expect they'll shed snow & even frozen rain & ice due to the flexing nature & our wind.
But question how well they hold up in a windy ...snowy ...cold winter here? Have you any viewers in our climes that may know?
I will tell you after using the 400 watt panel for a few months straight folding it back up putting it back out multiple times I did start to show some wear. As far as snowy weather and your other concern I can't help you there but thank you for watching the video and I'm glad it helped, thanks for subscribing welcome to the family 😎
Nice review thank you for the information and tips. Pet Brooklyn for me !
Thanks Chris definitely will
EcoFlo hired some great packaging engineer(s)
I know a board and screws are cheap, i bought a REI 8ft collapsing tent pole $40 and 6 rubber/silicone twist ties for Harbor Freight $6, this worked very good, stiff rod for support, quick collapsing, the ties hold it all together.
Great idea
That's Brilliant!
They did pack those 400W solar panels quite well. Making sure that when you get them there will be no damage whatsoever.
At $1200 each they better be packed well
I got the 400W folding panel and it is HUGE. Something you can have with your camper and or cabbin, but nothing you would want to go hiking with.
I agree it's heavy and it's awkward
@@TechMadeEzy Yea, sure 400w is nice and all, but knowing what I know now I would not have gone with that. I would much rather have gotten 4x 100w flexible panels at a fraction of the size and weight.
To be fair. EcoFlow panels are great at producting electricity... but the 400w panel is just TOO bulky to be really useful
I plan on using my two Bluetti SP200S 220watts panels with the Delta 2...
My Delta Pro had a board go out (which EcoFlow replaced at no charge) but I was told not to leave the solar panel plugged in when the light was low as this could damage the unit. Very inconvenient to have to monitor the solar wattage and unplug the panel every day!
Disappointing definitely
Like when it’s cloudy or something?
Very useful and informative video. Thanks for making this. Lots of great tips and tricks. Considering which solar panels to add to my EcoFlow Delta Pro + Extra Battery setup for mobile charging for roadtrips and camping.
Hi Gino thanks much appreciated
The 400w has some weight but performs well, also if you get 2 160w a bit lighter that would work. I’ve also seen better performance out of the 160w compared to the 400w in my experience so far
@@TechMadeEzy thanks for the advice. I noticed the 220 model as well and curious if other PV panels from Renogy or others with MC4 connectors would be feasible options. Grateful for your research and videos. Thanks!
The 220w is heavy, I’m still doing testing on that one.
A couple of thoughts.
1. Use eye bolts so you can hook up the carabiners more securely.
2. Make a complete rectangular frame. It will not add much weight and it will always be flat.
Also. You can find a Home Depot hard plastic pieces that you could cut in half and then Hinge them each. This would allow you to fold then up and place them in the bag or have a separate small bag to attach to the existing.
I am going to try those wiring tool fiberglass rods, and a few metal paperclips, to see if stability and firmness can be provided for the top of the 4-across panels. The default sagging appearance and ready-to-fall aspect is disappointing, but it is said to be portable (at 42lbs, NOT the stated 34lbs). There can be a slight benefit to having the outer 2 panels sagging back a bit, but even so, more stability would seem to be nicer.
Nice test - panels look great. would've been good if you did a quick tape measurement in the very beginning so us newbies could see what the length and width are especially since these are such huge units. Also I liked the amp & voltage test with the multimeter, wish you had done that when both panels were hooked up together. The Eco website says to stay under 15 amps when charging - would've been good to see some real test results on both panels.
280 to 330W after correction of the angle and these conditions is insane, I am pleasantly surprised.
An easy and also a light construction I made to hold the panels straight: I used six pieces of 1"x1"" wood, made them 110 cm long, three hinges screwed at the top made three pairs that will be easy to adjust to any angel. Then I put three long 1"x 2" , (mine are 190 cm , my panel is just 160w, but still feels big and too flexible)which will support the panel from behind. One of the long woods (can also be a 1"1", I screwed on the top place of the three parallelles, then I make four loops from a rope and put on this top wood, this is to secure the panel by clicking on the OOOO (what are they called in English...) into the loops. The two other long woods are supporting the panel horisontally, the panel leans on them, so the should be 1"2" screwed on flat. I can easely move my panel around, and also change the angel.
excellent video
Thanks Toby
I built light weight aluminum square tube frames with three tilting legs that break down for my 400 watt folding panels.
Honestly the panels look much flimsier than I expected. Thanks for the review.
I’ve been using them for a while now and so far they are holding up
Thank you for the video. I have the same exact system. I love how when you set up the solar panel it just magically popped into place. 😂😂😂 It would’ve been great to see you struggle trying to get it in the standing up position by yourself and hooking it to the case. And then I would love to have seen you, pulling the bottom part out towards the front and getting it into position and hooking those clamps in the holes. But the bottom of the panel also magically popped into place. You didn’t show you actually doing it. 😂😂😂 You said it was easy, but I find it to be a major pain in the ass. It’s very heavy, very cumbersome and wily, and not easy to stand it up and put it together. Cheers. 😅😅😅
I agree, it is a pain, heavy and awkward. My main panels are these now 330w
czcams.com/video/v7bFZn4KlUc/video.htmlsi=BSLAdUoo5qL9gwBP
Great idea when camping... Soup can ! LoL! You must remind us viewers on the Voltage as well as the Amps or Watts of the individual panels, and the max input voltages and amps of these portable power supplies. Why I mention this is because the power box I got from China, the Y2000 does not allow panel voltage above 24! I know, unbelievable, right?! I had to find out why I got nothing... With 3 series sets of 2x18v 120 Watt panels until I decided to PARALLEL THEM!!
you could use lenghts of aluminium extrusion such as 25mmx25mmxpanel lenght and height joined together as a rectangle. good videoTME.
Thanks
That beautiful dog sounds like talking. And plus that beautiful machine it's powered by sunshine, day and niiiight. Sweet !!!! It's just a perfect Labrador machine. ❤️🐏 🎰📠
She’s in heaven now
Great video! I bought a Delta 2 w/400W panels for 950. Couldn't pass it up.
Hey thanks! Which delta 2 ? The delta 2 max ? Or the regular delta 2 ?
Like your videos. Very informative. Oh, by the way. You sound a bit like Jeff Goldblum. 🙂
Thank you
Дякую за чудовий огляд! Я купив собі Delta Max і дуже задоволений. Заряджав його від електричної мережі. Але через обстріли з боку росії у нас в Україні нестабільна подача електроенергії(( Після вашого відео вирішив купити собі такі панелі для резервного джерела живлення. Дякую за детальний огляд!
Большое спасибо. Я так рада, что это помогло.
Nice review and all, but I'm sure even you'd have to admit your assistant stole the show.
Yes she does, thanks Guy
Did I mess up if I bought 4 panels since it goes over the 150 volt limit? I plan to do my in parallel.
Wow, I cannot be the only one that thinks you sound like Howard Stern. Good presentation and what a good dog 🐶. 😊
She’s a sweetheart
@@TechMadeEzy She's gorgeous!
Are you not worried about someone stealing your panels? How could someone secure them so they won't get stolen?
Great vidoe! Thank you!
I use my Delta 2 for our newer 25 cubic feet refrigerator. I imagine that you can charge the panels while powering something like a refrigerator and would probably need more than (2) 400-watt panels to do that.
Hey buddy congrats on your Delta but make sure you stay within the solar spec if you get outside of it you can actually burn the solar controller I don't think that would be covered under warranty
I enjoy watching your videos. Help me think about something. Using the pro and the smart home panel I am wanting to see if I can charge it with 4 x 400w = 1600w. The thought process I have is to use series and parallel in order to stay under the 150 v max. Please let me know if you have any videos on this topic and/or if you know of any reason why it would not work. Thanks so much.
Ron thank you so much I haven’t posted any videos on how to combine parallel with series, that’s the way you would accomplish staying under 150v I recommend going on Facebook and looking at the EcoFlow Delta Facebook group there are a bunch of people in there and I’m sure they could help you with that. I’m getting so much better with solar but that’s one answer I don’t have and I must be honest with you
This is really great info! Thank you for sharing it! I work for an eco-flow distributor and the boss is letting me build a system for my shuttle bus at cost, so I’m trying to figure out which eco-flow panels I can fit onto my bus in order to maximize my solar gain! I’m wondering if you could answer a question for me, since I can’t find the answer elsewhere. I really appreciated the partial shading test you did in your 220W bi-facial video, and I’m wondering if you have done, or would be willing to do the same test with this folding 400W panel? If the faces are connected in parallel and can be shaded like the 220 can, it means that I can stow the panels partially folded for travel, and still expect some real power from them while traveling. Because of your other video, I now know that the bi-facial panels could work for something like this, but the dimensions of these 400W panels work better for the fixed dimensions of my bus, so I really want to know if these panels also put out roughly half power when folded in half. I just subscribed to this channel and would love to see you do that test, if you haven’t already! Thank you!
I truly wish I could do all the tests. My view is would love me to do. I would have to say no for now. I’m sorry but thank you for watching the video and I’m glad it helped in some way. You said you wanted to connect a panel in parallel then I’m assuming you were going to have two or more is that correct?
Progresso: on sale a few weeks ago for 0.98/each! I loaded up for a year!
Lol yup
Will weaving a collapsible tent pole through the eyelets help achieve the straightness? This should make it more portable and less bulky travel with on camping trips
Good idea
Would be awesome if a tracking system was available for panels on a home 🏡 to track the 🌞 ☀️...
They’re were suppose to launch the solar tracker.
Thank you so much for illustrating how to connect panels in Series. Am new to solar and I wish I can give you 10 👍! Do you have any illustration using parallel connection of the panels to the solar generator ? When does one decide on using series or parallel? Thanks again!
Jesus it all depends, here is the best explanation I've found, see below
shopsolarkits.com/blogs/learning-center/series-or-parallel-connecting-solar-panels-guide-for-mobile-applications?c1=GAW&source=prospecting&cr2=search__-us-__dsa&kw=all_pages&cr5=530522258327&cr7=m&gclid=Cj0KCQjwma6TBhDIARIsAOKuANysVsuQ0V50MpB5HoPBNXtTRmLrqLBHTh1r0jMJDogyLnF-hLPJHLcaAmN4EALw_wcB
@@TechMadeEzy Thank you, will check it out, yours is a great channel, responsive, quite helpful!
👍🏼
Instead of wood, I would use something like an adjustable rod (easier to transport)
I probably will go with pvc board
Max I can use on a ecoflow is 3 solor panel right max
should do a square frame would keep it more straight would get even more out of it
I found using an collapsible fiberglass tent pole and two small zip ties was the easiest thing to do in the field.
Thank you
3:22 Strangely there is mention on resellers pages that its IP68 that should be waterproof to 3m depth or less. IP67 means it can take under 30min in max depth of 1m under water. Who knows..
Thank you for this. Very helpful. I just recently ordered 2 delta pros and the 400 watt panels. It’s on its way, but I’m not sure what else I need to connect the panel to the unit. Does the unit or solar panel come with the cable that connect the 2 or is that separate? What’s it called?
Depending on how far you're going to put your panels from the Delta Pro you might want to buy some longer solar cables here's a link to some quality cables once you open up the link on Amazon take a look at the different sizes amzn.to/3Ft8jiN
@@TechMadeEzy thank you! 😁
Use mirror to bounce back the rays
Can I use the EcoFlow 400W in series with my two EcoFlow 160 watt panels ? I have the EcoFlow Pro. Great videos !
1st thank you!
And Yes, we posted that actual video on our Instagram and Facebook and a picture of it in our youtube channel
If you plugged your delta into the mains electric and also had your solar connected, would it charge from both or would one or the other take priority?
The pro has the ability to charge AC and solar at the same time
Why do I keep thinking ..I’m listening to Howard Stern 😉👍
You are 😊
Question , I need a unit that can with stand a surge of 5500 that would be used to kick on and off a 2 phase 220 v we’ll pump. Can this do it ?
Jay you might need 2 delta pros and the double voltage hub, not sure with limited info and this all being new, here is a video we did but you also might want to email Ecoflow on that question, here’s the video we did czcams.com/video/WUitxUq9gsM/video.html
Hello thanks to Solar how much praise to solar from Alex Amporinguez from Bukidnon Province in
Mindanao thank you sir
Very interesting review. Can somebody please advise:- If you wanted to power a 600w device, would the EcoFlow Delta Pro power this device for 6 hours (3.6kWh or 3600w / 600w = 6)? Never understood energy flow but this seems easy enough so just wanted to check. Thank you.
Hi Alan it will be a little under 6 hours because the delta pro has an AC inverter that will draw some power as well .
Thank you.
Really good review, but if you'd like to save $1200 you can use a cheaper panel with higher wattage and make it compatible for $20. I did a review on it and its saved me a bunch of money.
What panel??
For battery life what is the best min and max time to charge to set the delta pro to ? I think I seen somewhere somebody saying min 20% max 80% but I'm not sure.
Hi See page 13 of the manual, not sure if this link will work see below for the manual, I personally don’t discharge any more than 10% and I don’t charge more than 90%. You’ll hear a lot of conflicting messages about lithium iron phosphate some might tell you to charge 100% for LFP but I don’t. So the decision is yours. But definitely check the manual so you follow the storage and maintenance on the device or you can avoid the warranty. I hope this information helps you.
websiteoss.ecoflow.com/cms/upload/2022/10/12/1312845623_1665543468829.pdf
I read that the poly is better than the mono for cloudy areas.
Interesting ok thanks
How long are the cords to connect the Ecoflow at a distance? Do they make extension cables.
You can just buy longer cables. I can include a link below, but be careful don’t go too far. The cables I’m sending you are 10 awg that’s a good thickness I wouldn’t go past 40 feet
amzn.to/3Q1pywH
Great video . Great information and you explained everything perfectly 💯💪💪
Appreciate it!
It would be nice to have some peace-of-mind.
My question is if I can put the panels also in parallel,i have 3 goal zero ranger panels and i want them connecting parallel,because when one panel get shaded, then i still have the 2 other panels that deliver good power,while my experiences with panels in series, the voltage drops so much that the whole array deliver way less power in total.
Yes but know your amperage so you don't damage your equipment
@@TechMadeEzy
Yes, i know
I have a goal zero 3000X and i can set them parallel and delivering 600watts.
As voltage and amps are related to watts i calculate that goal zero can handle around 35 amps by around 18 volts.
But I'd also able to handle a high voltage.
So I was curious if I can do the same with the ecoflow delta Pro.
So, my main question is, how much amps can the ecoflow handle by around 15 till around 22 volts .
Great review. I really like the solar panels. But they are just way too expensive for 400 watts. I'll just stick with our portable generator to recharge the DP.
What generator do you use to recharge the delta?
What generator do you use to charge the Delta Pro?
Predator 9000/7250 Watts generator. We can run our entire house, including Central AC, while charging the DP at the same time.
@@Pk3_Garage how much $$$?
$600 with $100 off coupon. It cost $900 as of today.
you could have just went on facebook marketplace and bought a 400w panel for $120
Imagine running around with the folded panels in the bag and dragging the plank behind and the big battery 😆.
Does the cooler of Delta Pro stay ON all the time when panel starts?
You mean the fan I guess, no it only turns on when needed but if you are powering a large load it definitely will.
Love the in depth review (and the yellow lab!). I’d like to know a couple things. I just purchased an RV with dual solar panels on the roof. Are they easily connected? Can the Delta Pro run my 15000 btu A/C unit? If so, how long? (It has a soft start and I am aware run time does vary based on many variables. Looking for more of a range like 4-6 hours or like 12-24 or more). I plan on using a 2200 Honda generator to recharge the battery during the day.
Hi Safe, I will do my best, do you know what thr wattage and surge wattage is on the air conditioner?
The Delta Pro can run a lot of different appliances especially when you add the additional batteries for more run time, in an RV depending on how big you might be able to place these somewhere and buy the delta pro remote control (coming soon) also which can help
You could get the Delta Pro and an extra Delta Pro battery(or two)...
That’s exactly what I want to do. Did you get it working pls adv
Very nice and clear video. Thanks for sharing, quite appreciated. I bought the exact same setup as yours. Delta Pro + Solar panel 400 W. I am wondering if you could give me a clue or two to make it work properly. I am reading 44V from the 400W solar panel temporarily installed in my solarium. I am just puzzled to see that the Delta Pro is still showing 000W input. Your advice might be welcomed.
Did you get the xt60i cable with the ecoflow 400w panel when you purchased it?
@@TechMadeEzy No Sir. Just using the cables provided by the solar panel.
I just checked and the xt60i was bundled in the package.
That’s a part of your problem I would order the cables you need the xt60i cable it will help
amzn.to/3J3hMhO
That’s the cable that really will make a difference. It has an extra connector.
@WilKommen-ci3ev now if that doesn’t work, I would check with Ecoflow or you can check back with me and I’ll try my best to help you
What would the panels get if not perfectly straight? Simulate more real world usage for camping situations. If I'm going to set them up in the backyard, I'd probably get cheaper solid panels.
Ecoflow Pro is really not for camping and you should get some of the smaller like maybe a river
@@Utriedit215 River is only about 600W. When I mean camping, I actually refer to travel trailer or RV's that need to have at least 1500 W inverter. The advantage of using delta pro in RV scenario is you can also bring them inside your house as a backup power solution.
I have quick quastion.Can i leave the ecoflow 22ow solar outside all the time.
Thanks
Hi sorry it's not made for that, rigid panels are.
I'm allergic to poultry, is it alright with you if I use a beef and barley?
Love it
It's a👍from me
Thank you Stephen
It would have been nice to know how long it took to charge the battery from zero.
Did you ever find out how long it takes?
Reportedly on the Ecoflow* Web Site, it takes 1.8 Hours to fully charge up the Ecoflow* 'Delta Pro' Solar Generator back up from Absolute Zero.
@@bakersupreme2010 I think they asked how long to fully charge with these solar panels. I it's arround 12 to 20 hours with one 400w panel.
You never want to let the battery get less then 30% for the health of the battery. I have the Ecoflow delta pro and this solar panel. Takes me about 6 hours from 30% to 100% on a cloudless day. Ecoflow do say not to use panel on cloudy day as it can damage the panel.
@bakersupreme2010 Yeah, that's with all the available inputs, solar and plugged into the wall at 1800 charging.
what's that rotating solar mount you show at 50 seconds?
Never was put up for sale, made by EcoFlow to automatically adjust to the suns angle.
@@TechMadeEzy that's too bad. Seemed pretty slick for portable panels
Forgive my ignorance, but I thought using two panels in parallel will keep the voltage the same(48volts)?
Yes, Series keeps amps the same
parallel keeps the Volts the same
This is really 4 x 100 panels. Is there a single 500 panel?
Nice video, but you completely omitted any info on the cable that connects the panel to the battery. Did it come with the solar panel from EcoFlow? Or did it come with the batter? Or did you buy it separately?
Ecoflow initially didn't include the solar cable with the panel, as of recently they now do. Also i use additional 10 Guage cable to put the solar panel out further usually 40 foot cable.
Can you use the Ecoflow Pro while the solar panel charges the unit?
Yes
Is this only for backup, or can it be for permeant use?
Not made to be mounted permanently
The panel is huge. How much bigger is it than 200w solar panels? Does EcoFlow do holiday sales?
220w they make is smaller
Can you test how the 400 watt solar panel Wattage gets effected if there is only 3 sides to the sun, and 1 bendt behinde the 3. one. And the same for 2 sides with to bent back, and also 1 and 3 bendt?
And can you bend the solar panel all the ways, like you take it out and unfold it but how far can you bend it the other way?
- Starting from where there is not mc4 cable but the natural way just opposite way
Hi I wish I could do tests for everyone but I cannot. If you block one of the panels the wattage will most likely go to 0 from my experience.
Would this work if it was installed externally as a permnant fixture on the roof of a van?
To my knowledge it’s not for permanent install but you can contact EcoFlow and see what they say support@ecoflow.com
Someone mentioned here that the panels shouldn’t be used at low or no light, so maybe not permanent. Not sure why. Also, you can connect other types of panels,’not just this one, so maybe that would work? I’m thinking the same as you, because wow, what an improvement it would be versus 400amps of AGM!
@@jackballjohnson3468 I've been using these panels early in the morning to late at night and don't have any issues. If you're going to mix panels and you're going to need to connect them via parallel just make sure you stay within the amperage or you can damage your equipment possibly
Are the sole panel weather resistant?
Yes IP67 but long term if you're going to leave a panel outside you better off with a rigid panel
Thanks for the video, is it possible to charge the eco flow and at the same time keep using it? So charge and discharge at the same time?
Thank you for watching and yes you can do that it's called pass through charging
@@TechMadeEzy amazing! Thanks a lot for the fast reply 🙏 it looks like it could very well be used as a main source of power when built robust, I cannot wait to try it, someone just bought the last piece today, so meanwhile it gives me some time to learn more and prepare before it's in stock again
Stay in touch and let me know how it goes
@@TechMadeEzy will do 🤝
@@TechMadeEzy So I've bought the EcoFlow Delta Pro around 2 weeks ago together with 3x 455W Longi solar panels and so far I've been trying to cover as many appliances as possible, fridge, PCs, dryer, washing machine, dishwasher, hair dryer, 3D printer etc etc... final boss is charging my car but for that I will need to expand the batteries to at least 7,2 kWh or 10,8 kWh
Nevertheless Delta Pro is an amazing piece of hardware and I love it 🧡🧡 cannot wait for the wind support, hope it comes very soon
Dang my problem was I was using New England clam chowder instead of chicken noodle.
See! Now you are on point Nick 👍🏼😎
Hi all,
So....I have a hack that I literally just thought of for people who can't afford another Delta Pro or extra battery BUT need additional power and own another ecoflow battery. I have called ecoflow and given them the idea as well and they confirmed that it will in fact work!! I then asked them why they don't tell everyone after I've told them and they said they would "escalate the idea" to their top tier and perhaps add it to their FAQs. So here's the idea: We've been told that you must have like systems in order to use them together. This is NOT actually true. If your Delta Pro is low on power (or any other ecoflow system you have) you can simply plug its charging cable (in the rear) into the front of the secondary system. In other words you're using the second system as a wall outlet of sorts. This works especially well in the evening when the sun is down and there is no more backup energy. What do you do when the sun is up?...even better...plus the second system from the rear into the front of the Delta Pro. This allows the sun to charge them BOTH regardless of the differences of their capacities or sizes!!! The only word of caution they gave me after saying what a great idea this was, was to say don't forget to lower the charging speed on the Delta Pro once it's plugged into the front of the second system. Guys this means you can use anything from a River and up to charge your Delta Pro OR any other ecoflow system. If this works for you please like my comment and say "Thanks T!!" just so I'll know at least I was able to communicate something helpful to the solar community-especially since these systems are sooooo expensive!!
My unit didn't come with the long cable that connects to the panels then to the Delta pro. Where did you get that rolled up long cable?
Long solar cables aren't included, just the xt60 to solar cable. Longer cable links are in the description if that's what you need.
@@TechMadeEzy i called the retail store that sold the panel and delta pro to me and they told me that Echoflow no longer includes the XT60 cord with the panels or the delta pro which they was not aware of so since they told me that the XT60 cable was included with the system they gave the XT60 to me free.
Wow I went to the EcoFlow website and they removed the solar cable. That’s shocking, thousands of dollars and they remove the solar cable. That stinks
@@TechMadeEzy thats the same thing I thought. $3,500 and they can't even include the cable! So sad. What is more sad is I tried to connect the cable from the panels to the delta pro and the prongs on the delta pro wasn't even secured to the back of the delta pro so when I tried to push the cable on to the prongs it would just push into the delta pro. It was just floating within the back of the delta pro back plate. Basically the cable is not able to connect to the delta pro making the solar panels useless. I took it back to the place I bought it and they said they will try to fix it. Unbelievable! Brand new and broken already.
@@onelove9101 Hello.. on your post concerning the Delta pro cable you mentioned, "Basically the cable is not able to connect to the delta pro making the solar panels useless." Well I just purchased a DP and I am wondering was this a problem DP's have in general? Also, may i ask, were you able to get any cables to work, and if so could please what did work for you?
Sorry buddy, but I completely disagree. Campbell's Savory Pot Roast soup can has a much higher degree of accuracy.
LOL.... Good vid. Keep up the Great work.
Love it!! 👍🏻🌟
And don’t forget two thumbs up for the dog
Thanks

That's my girl checking
May she rest in peace in heaven ❤️
Is this unit waterproof I have both the delta pro and the 400 solar panel
Yes, I don't have the IP rating on me but It should have been listed and mentioned
