Thank you for the short "how to", others are trying to make a movie from this.

AMAZING! You just saved me from hours of useless searches. Thanks for the showing of how to connect two panels to the ecoflow

This video is fantastic! I just bought a Bluetti power station but I'm new to charging by solar, so you showing how to connect it all is very helpful! Thank you!

Thank you for not making this a 20 minute video.

Even with an Mic problems this video was very helpful. Thank you.

Thank you so much! This is how an instructional is supposed to be!

Sorry, silly question. Instead of "doubling" every time I was just increasing by 12 for each additional 12v panel. Makes perfect sense now. Thanks

Hello from Arizona, I hope you can answer my question. I heard that the reverse polarity adapter is required when using Ecoflow Delta with Harbor Freight solar panels. I want run an extension cable, so I won't use any additional reverse polarity adapters because the polarity is already correct down the line. Is that right? Do you have a part number or description on what extension cables I need? Thanks so much!

I have been two days trying to get 400 w out of my (2) 200w Renogy suitcases and all I was able to get was 200w. I watched many videos hooking them together and I thought for sure it parallel connection needed. You made it simple for dummies like me to understand that it was suppose to be in series. Hooked up to the EcoFlow 2000 Delta Max. Thank you for being so clear and posting this I am now getting 400w input. Question - snow on ground and camper covered but when I’m ready I’m going to change the controller to 600amp and with the 100w plus’s the 400w charging 2 batteries 12 volt. I then need to connect it all in parallel AM I CORRECT ?

Just leave them in series. Just image 5 light bulbs on one wire, if a wire breaks the whole system goes down. However in parallel if a wire break only that light goes down. He miss spoke when. He said now you have series and parallel. When wired that set up in series. Series offer better performance. However if one panel gets blocked the system suffers parallel won't. Keep your's in series just make sure you have no blockage, leaves, snow, etc.

Thank you for clarity in connection in series but how does one connect the wires to the generation and then what buttons to push from there. We’re getting FAULT message !!

thank you Max. You made that real simple. There’s so many videos out there we’re all these guys wont stop talking about watts and amps and watts and amps and watts and amps and they lose the title of the video which says how to set them up. watched a couple videos that said how to set them up in series and parallel and all they talked about was Watts and amps and not the actual mechanics of setting it up wasted all my freaking time. Again, thank you

Thank you! Very good info!

Do you know if we can charge 2 or 3 power stations at the same time off of one 200w solar panel? Can I just power the first power station from the solar panel and at the same time power the second power station from the first power station.

Super thank you so much for making this video!

Is it possible to connect four 200 w solar panels in series to the Delta Pro 3600 without blowing up anything?

So assuming each panel has has max open circuit voltage of 25v, in this scenario how many volts are getting sent to generator?

My panels have a 8 gauge wire and my eco flow adapter cable is 10 gauge. Will connecting the 8guagr solar panel to the 10 gauge eco flow adapter cable cause any problems considering they are 2 different sizes? Thank you

Pls teach us about over panelling a powerstation

How would you hook up three 3 x ( 200 watt ) solar Panels for the Bluetti AC 200 Max ,,, daisy all three in series ,, or hook them( 2 panels ,and one panel ) ? I believe the Bluetti can receive maximum 700 wats solar input ,,,, I only have room for three panels on the roof of my van .

Adaptor? Trying to connect my two bluetti panels in series and when I do (exactly what you did in the video), I get zero input wattage. What is this “adaptor” you speak of? I just connected it straight to my eb70 with the cable provided. Trying to connect a 120 and a 200 Is that just over capacity?

My only problem is my VTOMAN generator and my ebike both have an AC 3 prong plugin supply with electronics in them for charging. What do I do with that?

Thank you for sharing I will try this

I lost the video to change the cables on 100 watt harbor freight panel could you plese send that to me again! thanks

Do you know if one can put the actually Bluetti's in a series?

"we're not getting great sunlight here right now" - literally better than 95% of the year in Britain

Ecoflow is Rocks!!

Great video Thank you

thank you!!!!

What about amps? Each of those 100 watt panels are probably around 5 amps each. The Ecoflow delta max only handles 10 amps so wouldn’t that trip the fuse or possibly damage inverter?

A single panel is 1x volts and 1x amps. If the panel is 5 amps then it goes like this. Lets make it simple by only looking at only 2 panels Connect 2 panels in parallel and you have the panels voltage at 5 amps. Connect 2 panels in series and you will have 2x the panels voltage but still at 5 amps. When you connect 2 panels together, you can only double the voltage, or the amps, not both. So, in this video he has the first pair of panels in series supplying the power station with double the voltage of a single panel at 5 amps. Then another pair of series panels are connected to the power station which will supply the power station at double the voltage but also at 5 amps. Therefore, the two pairs of series panels are connected to the power station in parallel. The total from the 4 panels is 2x volts at 2x amps. If a single panel is 20 volts and 5 amps, that's 20x5=100 watts. A: Two panels in series is a total of 40 volts at 5 amps, that's 40x5=200 watts. b: Two panels in parallel is a total of 20 volts at 10 amps, that's 20x10=200 watts. So, if you connect as the video shows, the total is two sets of (A:) panels, which is 40 volts (the volts are still 40 because now we're connecting the pairs in parallel) but the amps will double to 10 (remember, series doubles volts, parallel doubles amps). 40 volts x 10 amps = 400 watts. If a power station could take 80 volts, it would be possible to connect all panels in series to give 80 volts at 5 amps, 80 volts x 5 amps = 400 watts. Too many volts would damage the power station, but if the volts are within the acceptable range the power station would not be damaged no matter how many panels you connected.. e.g. if you connected all of the 100 watt panels in parallel that would total 20 volts at 20 amps in theory, but the ecoflow delta max would only take a maximum of 10 amps anyway. No power station or load will take more amps than it's designed to, as long as the voltage is not exceeded. So 20 volts x 10 amps would be 200 watts. You would not damage anything connecting like this, but the extra power the solar panels could give would simply not be used.

@@dionnesanders2304 Two things you need to know. 1: What is the voltage of the panel in full sun when its not supplying power? This info is on the rating plate attached to the underside. A panel advertised as a 12V volt panel is typically around 20V in full sun with no load. 2: What is the maximum voltage acceptable for the item you're connecting the panel to? Only connect panels in series if the acceptable voltage will never be exceeded. Unfortunately just saying it's a 50 watt panel is not enough info. Is it 20V at 2.5A ? 20V x 2.5A = 50W or 10V at 5A ?, 10V x 5A = 50W Think of panels as being solar batteries. You would never use a mix of AA battery and a AAA battery to power an item. My advice is get the right size panels from the start. Will you be using 12 x 50 watt panels to get your 600 watts?

Not if you don't exceed the voltage limit. If the Delta can handle 10 amps at 24v, then adding more panels in parallel will not overload the charger; it will just allow the charger to provide more energy at lower levels of sunlight (assuming the charger controller in the Delta is smart enough.)

Thank you!

Help please. I have two 200w 24 volt panels. Each works individually with my Bluetti EB150. When I connect them in series as shown in the video and then plug into the generator I get no solar input and the screen shows a E017 error message where the solar input should be reflected.

Hey Brandon, The Bluetti takes MC4 connection panels so we recommend these. We use Rich Solar in most of our kits!

What guage are the extension cables?

It would be useful to know the make/model of the solar panels. It would also be useful to know exactly the name of the 'adaptor' cable which links the power station to the panels.

"just that simple"...🤣Boom🔥

I still don't know what is the type of cable to connect the solar panels to the battery (EcoFlow) :(

So what is better for charging a solar generator- increased volts or increased amps? (Provided you don’t go above the 60 volt max)?

As long as you stay in the charge parameters you will be perfect

@johnnyfearlesszrx

As long as you keep within the volts range, higher voltage is always better because it keeps the amps down which reduces energy losses. Amps heat cables and lose energy, you need thicker cables for lower volts assuming you use the same watts. That's exactly why pylons use high voltage to spread the power over the country and then lower that voltage at local sub stations. If pylons used normal mains voltage the cables needed would be massively thick. If you use a charge controller to charge batteries with solar panels, the leads should be long from the solar panel to the charge controller and short from the charge controller to the battery for the same reason. Volts x amps = watts

@johnnyfearlesszrx

@@vishyswa It depends on how many panels you're using and what configuration they're in (series or parallel). The basic answer is I would not consider thinner than 10AWG. the smaller the number, the thinner the wire Out off the wires you mentioned, the 10 AWG is the best. 12AWG is ok with around 200 watts at 30' in either configuration but you will reduce charging efficiency. 14 AWG is not suitable. Hope that helps.

I'm missing something here. You can't exceed 60 volts coming into the generator, right? If, wired in series, the voltage doubles with each additional 12 volt panel, wouldn't the voltage for all 4 in series be 48 volts? That's still 12 volts under the 60 volt range to not exceed. Curious why you didn't wire all 4 in series. Thankyou

Most 12volt 100watt solar panels are around 20 volts open circuit voltage .example on the HQST panel.. Open-Circuit Voltage (Voc): 24.3 V

@DevaultFamilyLiving

Жыл бұрын

Because the panels are in series / parallel configuration the voltage should only be 48.6 VOC (In parallel voltage stays the same and amps double, and in series the volts double, and the amps stay the same). What I can figure out is most 100 watt panels are around 6amps . The Ecoflow can only handle 10 amps. In this configuration the max amps would be around 12 amps. Maybe the max voltage on his panels are only 5.

Is there a reason you did two in parallel and then connected them in series? Why not just all in a row in one series?
