    Dokio 200W Panel doesnt charge Ecoflow River 2 - what could be wrong?

    Which48V/60V LiFePo batteries are worth buying?

    As I live in the philippines its always difficult to get reliable tech here locally. That way I need your recommendations for E-Bike/Trike batteries that usually have 48V/20Ah or 60V/20Ah or more Ah. What I look for is that they can replace the usually used LeadAcid batteries (same size to fit...

    Which best BMS/Inverter system for non off-grid installation

    Ecoflow told me for the Delta Pro that its not good for the board to leave solar charging plugged in while charging with AC. And Hobotech showed in his 2nd DeltaPro video that while AC charging is done it doesnt use the Inverter with 3.6KW Still have no answer from Bluetti. So now I also look...

    EcoFlow Delta Pro - what they don't tell you and why I hope Bluetti can deliver

    I want to use solar and thought these new "Solar Generators" will do the trick. My plan was to have a Solar Generator and Input a) solar plus b) AC Grid power. Thinking that during the day the generator gets charged via solar and also can power my house using solar that way. But if its too...

    How does the UPS function of Ecoflow Delta Pro affects solar charging and running apliances?

    Hi guys, I just watched Hobotechs Ecoflow Delta Pro video on YouTube where he tests the older (still beta) version of the DeltaPro. What makes me curious now is his testing of the UPS mode. In that UPS mode the DeltaPro just passes thru the grid power and limits output to 2000W, but what makes...

    Best way to charge a EcoFlow Delta Pro with more than 1600W solar

    I will connect 4pcs 540W panel to my Delta Pro as a 2x22 grid with 100V and 20Amp, but with the limit of the DeltaPro to be 15Amp I can charge only with 1500W. Now I ask myself, instead of using Grid power to raise the charging - If I just use a 2KW inverter and connect that to the 220V input -...

    Which does the EcoFlow Delta PRO handlebetter - overvoltage or overcurrent?

    The Delta Pro's specs say 11-150V and up to 15A solar input. Now I would like to get 3pcs 540W panels and put them in series - but they have a OpenCircuit Voltage of 49.9V. This would only very little under the 150V limit but still inside the 15A. Lesser W panelswould be 465 or 450W so if I...

    How much more WATT do reflectors/mirrors really produce?

    I see different videos online using reflectors but as I live in the HOT Philippines my panels will always run at high temperature. I plan on buying 2 450W panels and now ask myself on how much output I can get by adding reflectors. In videos I see they get around 10% more output, but is that...

    I just stumbled upon Will's video with Server Rack Batteries and from what I understand these are DIY systems too.They have a BMS already build in, but I found no explanation on how to connect Solar Input for charging and how to connect an inverter to have them put out 220/240V (as I live...

    Which foldable panels are recommendable?

    I live in the Philippines but in a rented townhouse. So I have no way to install fixed panels. And even putting normal panels to the roof would be too difficult as the roofs are way too simple constructed. That's why I think of getting foldable "camping" panels to generate 800W (1000W+ in...

    Newbie here - planning on going solarin the Philippines

    Hello forum, as I live in Cebu-City (Philippines), now with 3weekswithout power after the last typhoon I thin about a long term solution to become more grid independent, but not totally off-grid. I live in a rented townhouse, so a fixed installation is a no-go. Also after the typhoon I realize...
