ECOFLOW River Pro: Connecting Two 100 Watt Panels in Parallel.

In this video we connect two 100 watt panels to the ECOFLOW River Pro. We go over all the parts to connect these two harbor frieght panels in parellel. We will discuss the SAE to MC4 adapters as well as the parallel adapters.

Thanks for emphasizing the reverse polarity adapter. I have both ecoflow and jackery units, all with harbor freight panels. From what I have seen on youtube videos, the jackery does not use the polarity adapter, but the ecoflow must. Wish they were the same. Glad I researched, this stuff was expensive. Thanks again!

[@jamesdemuro5923]

Thank you for the great video Hector 👍

Just bought mine eco pro and want to do a setup similar to yours for my outdoor shed. Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the clarification, just getting into it and they can be overwhelming. Thank you very much.

[@BuellStreetBlaster]

Great video. My Ecoflow River Max Plus (720wh)arrives tomorrow and this was a great visual reference. I already have 2 100 watt panels and now the wires are connected and waiting, lol. Thanks.

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Good to hear.

[@flpirate4565]

Totally helpful and we'll explained. Thank You

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Thank you

[@Foxfire_Pony]

Thanks for posting this. I use a similar joiner on my Anker 555, but I don’t need to use the polarity reverser.

[@coniferousbug2395]

super helpful video. thanks

[@keithabbott360]

Another great video! I picked up two panels at Harbor Freight this weekend, they were on sale for 89! Thanks for the step-by-step guide!'

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Glad it helped and thank you for the feedback.

[@projet2907]

Thanks for this video!,, Simple thing but when You know nothing,, it all seem so complicated. Now I know :-0)

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Glad it helped.

[@SAmusicUncut]

Very helpful! Thanks

[@roblisatyler4414]

Good info

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Thank you

[@pablo6305]

I needed this video. Thank you i was so confused watching in about the parelel or sequence. Still dont know what the diffrence is.

[@phostcomua]

Thank you for the information. Greetings from Ukraine 🇺🇦

[@MudmanMedia]

Is there a link for the parallel connector?

[@tyrontodd6721]

I’m trying to hook up my 2 hf panels to my river max can you give me the name of parts and part number and how many parts I need thanks want you to no you got some great videos

[@richchester1871]

Where did you get the parallel connections? Link?

[@mattc825]

Oh yeahhhhh

[@tips4tesla407]

i have basically the same setup with 4 panels but a slightly smaller batteery backup station... but the panels didnt come with the polarity adapter, did you have to buy them seperate?

[@MudmanMedia]

What cable do I need to extend the length of cables to this. i.e. longer cable(s)?

[@willhunting9118]

What brand are the solar panels? purchase link? Thank you

[@19dfifit66]

Can you add a link to the black connectors, the positive and negative ones?

[@patrickgonzales2752]

Are you using a mount with a tilt for your solar panels?

[@elpuga4825]

Put a link to the parallel adapter.

[@prosperityokechukwu1503]

Can the eco flow river 2 be run in parallel just like the eco flow Delta pro

[@d.knudsen4135]

Does the River Pro have an internal charge controller or what prevents it from overcharging?

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

yes it does

[@O3ODORSOLUTIONS]

Do you leave your solar panels outside or bring them in when not in use ?

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

I bring them in when not in use.

[@randrowe9660]

Hi…I read that to hook up in parallel you had to use a 30 amp fuse to keep them from catching on fire. Had any problems?

[@ThermalDogOutfitters]

Good question. I have used mine regularly with no issues. I have not heard that before. I will have to do some homework on this. Thank you.

[@templeghg]

Solar/electric newbie here. Is there a benefit to hooking up 2 100 watt panels vs 1 200 watt panels ? I have limited roof space so thinking of 200 watt

[@leah.internet]

I was wondering the same thing. I guess just the simplicity of having to hook up one panel? Less bolts / fixtures to secure is my guess.

[@LostBoysRecovery]

Is there anyway just to use the SAE connectors joining them together and then ending with whatever connector you need to get your power to

[@Jen4Hand]

No, in fact the benefit would be in the ease of hooking up 1 panel; however, with only one panel, if part of it gets shaded, it will shut down the panel, whereas with two panels, if one gets shaded, the other one will still work.

[@usatechcity]

Yes you have to connect this 2 solar panel in parallel to hold the voltage the same not to exceed 25 voltage
The Ecoflow River Pro product supports 10-25V DC input, 12A max current, and 200W max charging power.

[@ricardofranco4114]

I just bought a harbor freight 100-watt solar pannel, and it gets 122 watts while laying flat on the ground. Imagine when I have it pointed at the sun.

[@Whitepinoy]

If you change the camera to 50 HZ that would stop the Ficker

[@tiemarie6027]

My panels only sat 3 watts 😅
