Did you get the accessories as well?? Shoot that would make it an even better deal if you did. At least 10 dollars a pop per cable making the panel like 70. Winning! At least thats how I think about stuff.

@@AskIveSolar Yes. All accessories included and not even used. Seems like only the mc4s were used. I didn’t consider it that way but great point.

Thanks boss! So does that mean they are all in para? So I have to wonder what the panels are rated at. My brain hurts thinking about that.

@@AskIveSolar yes, parallel, all power output would have dropped if they were in series.

Such a dope thing to say! I greatly appreciate that man. #goals

@@AskIveSolar I definitely get some MKBHD vibes, minus all the staff he has dedicated to production lol Subscribed!

@@t0nkatsu haha. Yeah I got a waaaaaaaays to go before that production value. Appreciate the sub Ricky. You new to solar or been into it for a while.

@@AskIveSolar I got into it not long after I moved to Japan around 6 years ago. Was looking for something to handle power outages in emergencies from severe weather or earthquakes and Bluetti happened to be doing their Indiegogo for the AC200 at the time. I grabbed that and also grabbed a couple of 100W foldable (but metal-framed and rigid) Renogy panels to go with it. Now I bought a EB3A for leisure, just day-trips or a short camp out in nature and was looking for some more suitable panels (lighter, easier to deploy). The AllPowers look good for the money and that you just happening to be testing with the EB3A sold it to me. On top of that they match the voltage of my 100W Renogy panels too, so if I'm ever in a real emergency, I could parallel the Renogy panels and then hook those parallel'd panels up to the 200W AllPowers in series and the AC200 should be able to take all of it. And if for some reason that didn't work, I could still hook the AllPowers up to the EB3A, the Renogys up to the AC200, then hook the EB3A up to the AC200 via DC.

Thanks so much GrandAcres :)

True!! Thanks Sir for the kind words

😂😂😂 Thanks Sir! I said once, I LOVE the outside ...from inside. Lol

Most arent

Why thank you. What kind of solar do you have if any?

Someone sent me a video of their 100 watt all powers not working well. They had two of them. My 200 has been banging out day in and day out.

@@AskIveSolar I can agree with that seems like something is wrong with the 100 watts (not the first time i hear that aswell) My 140 Watt produce easily 120+watts in summertime👍

I gotta get my back fence solar ready finally

Do you absolutely need to go folding?

@@AskIveSolar Yeah, pretty much. I'm using for camping out of a Camry. Lol. I had thought about getting a roof rack for a panel & a box but then I would need to spend a lot more.

All powers is a good budget offering in the folding space for sparce usage.

What's up Jeremy. I wasn't in the loop bro. Thanks for the heads up. Is this ok ebay or something on their site?

@@AskIveSolar ebay. Thats not the only deal they have going, just the best I've ever seen on that model

Where is this deal on 720 wh panel ?

sorry I read that wrong..

And as someone pointed out, it goes cheaper too

The bigger Powerstations have around 2kWh capacity, The big Ecoflows can be connected to additional batteries zu get up to 6kWh collectively I think. You just have to divide the capacity with the power of your heater and you get the approx. runtime: 2000Wh / 750W = ~2,6h So for heating maybe the generator is the more (cost) effective solution. (with 2 additional batteries for the ecoflow you are looking at about 5 to 6k€ for up to 7 or 8 hours of runtime between charges)

Thanks Michi, I thought I responded to this. There are many power stations that can run the heater, especially with solar coming in, but heaters use a lot of power and as Michi said, most power stations cost about .80 cents a watt. Most people say that using heat on a power station is not very efficient. To give an example, the delta 2 can run that heater for maybe an hour because it has around 100p watt hours of battery. It costs about a thousand bucks too.

Great question! I went down that path briefly but gave up. I think the USB C standard is supposed to be bidirectional. I just purchased a 12v to 100 USB c and gave up on trying to figure that stuff out. Since you're charging a power bank, you probably don't need 100 watts.

I want 2 folding panels hooked up in series. 40 volts will be going into the MPPT controller. I take photos and burn them on wood or tile with a portable DIY solar-powered laser burner. It's still coming together. With the panels and enough battery, I can take it with me and use it anywhere. I call it burning art with the sun.

Thats a pretty cool idea bout the scotchguard. Very interesting @ the burning art stuff. Can you send me a few pictures via email or somewhere on social media. solarquestions@askive.com

Yeah

Yeah the low amp limit sucks and it would apply to this panel as well. The crazy part is that usually, these panels don't out more than around 8 amps anyway. My river typically shows the same input wattage as the eb70 (which has an 8 amp limit). But I never angle them perfectly tho so.... The highest I've ever seen is 181 in the river as it does not have the 8 amp limit. But that was once. They all typically pull in the same power from 200 watts.

I use my Bluetti 200W panel to charge my EB3A. Is that wrong? Don't the controllers in the unit ensure regulation? Has worked well for me so far.

@@debbiedogs1 Hi. I am no expert by far. But, I feel that your saving grace has been that solar panels never put out what they are supposed to. So they never reach their actual rating.🤞

So what happens is the power station pulls amps. The panel doesn't send them. So the eb3a limits the amps coming in. So that bluetti panel is fine. The thing we can't go over is volts.

@@AskIveSolar Thank you buddy. Much obliged.

That's interesting. Can you email me a picture of what you mean so I can compare

The new one or the old one? The new one. Nah, you need an mc4 to xt60. The old one, yes since you should already have the cable.

@@AskIveSolar the old one it’s not the latest river 2, thanks I may buy this panel 😊

Heat can play a role and do you use it daily / often.

🙂

:)

What about the coupon. I thought it had one. And the link in the description may help too

@@AskIveSolar 10 % is only coupon I saw.

If I click my affiliate link. It's 30 dollars off. Maybe they don't work together. But 10% off 300 is about the same since it's 309. I mean it is a 200 watt panel which should go for around 400.

They frequently go on sale for $230-$250 on Amazon just have to wait on it

Thanks Joe!
