With EcoFlow, connecting a solar panel to a portable power station (PPS) couldn’t be easier. Just plug your solar PV panel directly into the PPS, and you have a solar generator ready to start capturing the sun’s energy. There are a few other factors to consider, which we will explore below. 1. Choose a Compatible Solar Panel
While it is possible to connect a portable solar generator to an electrical panel, it is incredibly important that it is done correctly and safely. Failing to do so could result in damage to your solar generator, as well as your electrical panel.
If you’re hoping to purchase a portable power supply that generates clean, renewable energy, finding the best solar panels is also important. Look for monocrystalline panels, like the EcoFlow Portable Solar Panels. Monocrystalline panels maximize efficiency to capture the most amount of energy possible.
EcoFlow’s portable power stations offer multiple charging options, including solar, household AC power, car adaptors, and even EV charging stations. If you’re planning to use solar energy for your portable power supply, you’ll need to attach the solar panels to the PPS.
Most portable power stations only allow you to connect one solar panel at a time. Premium options like the EcoFlow DELTA Pro allow for more than one solar panel because of its wide voltage range of 11-150V. A portable power station paired with solar panels allows consumers to capitalise on the benefits of renewable energy.
Let’s say you’re setting up the EcoFlow Portable Solar Panels with an EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro Portable Power Station. Here are the steps to connect the panels to the PPS. Connect the male connector of one solar panel to the female connector of the solar panel. Connect the solar panel using the Universal Solar Connector to the XT60 cable.
