Great, finally a video where they show the setup of the panel. Documentation of Ecoflow is really bad. This video is super. THANKS

While watching the video… 50% concerned with the panels, 50% excited for the next scene with the pup. Great video, thanks for making it!

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.

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.

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!

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’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 😎

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.

They did pack those 400W solar panels quite well. Making sure that when you get them there will be no damage whatsoever.

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

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.)

Nice unboxing video. I can't wait to get my hands on them 400W solar panels.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

I like the board idea!! I will be coping that setup!!! Thanks!

280 to 330W after correction of the angle and these conditions is insane, I am pleasantly surprised.

LOVE your video, helpful easy to learn from and best of all is seeing your fur baby, love her too😊

Thanks for showing how to set up the panels. I watched a newer video from someone who compared them to other brands. The panels are good and perform very well for output. However the set up is the worst of all tested on that video. I have mine on order and am a little disappointed that they don't come with the connector with the XT60I for full power to the Ecoflow Delta 2 I just purchased. One of the other brands of panels used a foldable tent pole to stiffen the assembly. I'll have to see if that might work when I get mine. Otherwise I'm satisfied with my Ecoflow purchases. I do wish they would have included the connection with either the Delta 2 or the panels though.

Great Video, Your voice could double to Howard Stern

Wow, I cannot be the only one that thinks you sound like Howard Stern. Good presentation and what a good dog 🐶. 😊

I built light weight aluminum square tube frames with three tilting legs that break down for my 400 watt folding panels.

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!

Nice review and all, but I'm sure even you'd have to admit your assistant stole the show.

I just got mines the bundle that is 🙏

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. 😅😅😅

Thank you for the good review of the solar panel. I will definitely look it up.

EcoFlo hired some great packaging engineer(s)

Great video! I bought a Delta 2 w/400W panels for 950. Couldn't pass it up.

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.

I plan on using my two Bluetti SP200S 220watts panels with the Delta 2...

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.

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. ❤️🐏 🎰📠

should do a square frame would keep it more straight would get even more out of it

Honestly the panels look much flimsier than I expected. Thanks for the review.

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'll be definitely needing this bad boy for my Delta Max.

It would have been nice to know how long it took to charge the battery from zero.

Progresso: on sale a few weeks ago for 0.98/each! I loaded up for a year!

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.

As always providing excellent content!!!

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.

This is an awesome and very handy solar panel.

Why do I keep thinking ..I’m listening to Howard Stern 😉👍

you could have just went on facebook marketplace and bought a 400w panel for $120

you could use lenghts of aluminium extrusion such as 25mmx25mmxpanel lenght and height joined together as a rectangle. good videoTME.

Nice review thank you for the information and tips. Pet Brooklyn for me !

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!!

I found using an collapsible fiberglass tent pole and two small zip ties was the easiest thing to do in the field.

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..

Instead of wood, I would use something like an adjustable rod (easier to transport)

Thanks 🙏

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!

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.

Like your videos. Very informative. Oh, by the way. You sound a bit like Jeff Goldblum. 🙂

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

Use mirror to bounce back the rays

Would be awesome if a tracking system was available for panels on a home 🏡 to track the 🌞 ☀️...

Imagine running around with the folded panels in the bag and dragging the plank behind and the big battery 😆.

Amazing video 👍😎

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.

Thank you for the awesome review!

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!

Okay stop saying these cases do a good job. They don't if you have to jerry-rig these things, which seems to be the case for every person who reviews these panels, then they're bad designs. Panels are perfectly fine. But consistently echo flow has a serious issue with their overall designs. Perfect example of this is their extra battery cable is too damn short. Meaning you can't stack them. I don't know what it is with their engineers but they seem to spend more time on making it look pretty than making it functional

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.

And don’t forget two thumbs up for the dog

How long are the cords to connect the Ecoflow at a distance? Do they make extension cables.

Dang my problem was I was using New England clam chowder instead of chicken noodle.

I read that the poly is better than the mono for cloudy areas.

Hello thanks to Solar how much praise to solar from Alex Amporinguez from Bukidnon Province in Mindanao thank you sir

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?

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.

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.

I have a great new name for the ecoflow delta pro system. ( number one error code pro system) . At least that would be more accurate. Just saying.

Great video as always

excellent video

See Solar Panel Connection Tutorial... so simple

It would be nice to have some peace-of-mind.

Sorry for the dumb question but will these be better than a generator? Could I run a regular fridge and a 110 ac unit or 2 and lights in my house. I know nothing about kWh and how to visualize how much it is. Would 2 panels be able to replenish the batteries while fridge and ac units are running?

0:13 quality control

At their price 400w panel should pull 400w. There are flex panels that pull full power.

The panel is huge. How much bigger is it than 200w solar panels? Does EcoFlow do holiday sales?

Can I use the EcoFlow 400W in series with my two EcoFlow 160 watt panels ? I have the EcoFlow Pro. Great videos !

Why pay so much (well yours were free) for less than 400 watts? Max I saw out of the 400 watt panel was like 264.

Does the cooler of Delta Pro stay ON all the time when panel starts?

I'm allergic to poultry, is it alright with you if I use a beef and barley?

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.

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.

what's that rotating solar mount you show at 50 seconds?

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.

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?

Did I mess up if I bought 4 panels since it goes over the 150 volt limit? I plan to do my in parallel.

For the price they want for these panels you would think they out come up with a better Stand.

It's a👍from me

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 labels in the series wiring diagram is wrong. The labels needs to be swapped. Positive from DP to solar panel should be positive cable and the negative from DP to solar should be negative cable. You show opposite.

I have quick quastion.Can i leave the ecoflow 22ow solar outside all the time. Thanks

Max I can use on a ecoflow is 3 solor panel right max

Make sure to invest in chicken noodle soup stock. 🐓
