I know he's selling product here, but it's still great information for people just dipping their toes in the solar pool. Keeping this a 100 level class and not talking down to anybody is golden. Thankyou sir!
@@everydaysolarI don’t personally care if something is an advertisement either. It’s nice seeing people get money for a product since you believe in it. Many other RUclipsrs do as well.
I just bought the Anker c1000 and a couple Eco Worthy 100w panels. Just trying to get my feet wet and learn a little about this. I got this just to have a decent power supply for a temporary outage.
@@everydaysolar I forgot to ask, do you know if orientation of the panels makes a difference, beside being perpendicular to the sun as possible. I mean if they are on their side or straight up and down?
You really like the ecoflow stuff. Aside from ease of usage why always use them? I built my wifes solar setup in her gazebo using a battery, an inverter and a charge controller. Id like to see some videos doing something like that. Cause it was cheaper than any ecoflow product. Though i did just learn i cant chargebthe batteries in the freezing temperature. Your solar videos are well worth the watch especially since we live in the same general area in illinois.
I am a fan of DIY system and we will be doing a few different DIY setups in my enclosed trailer over the next couple months. For some of the audience the ease of the portable power stations is pretty enticing.
@@everydaysolar I agree. I have both a diy and portable. A family member is looking for something without the hassle/ complexity. A portable will be perfect for them.
You might consider talking through a set up with different panels. If I start with the Harbor Freight 100w panel, can I add a 400w panel to this set up? Etc. Or if that is not at all recommended within the industry.
Still looking for a decent 400w panel for my delta 2. I bought it and it came when 2 110's but i want something that will charge it faster. I also have the river 2 max i can use the 110's with. Any recommendations on a rigid panel with a portable stand? I am thinking that would be less expensive than the foldable suitcase versions
Yeah, I need to stretch beyond the EcoFlow products. In 2025 I will most likely expand to Bluetti, Anker, and maybe Jackery. I actually just saw Enphase is coming out with a power station 🤔
When talking about the parallel option for 3 panels, the amps would rarely be at the 15.42 mark either because that would mean the panel is 100% efficient (to the panel specs) correct? If it’s 96.2 watts on average the like the Renogy panel, it would still produce the same voltage but reduce the amps, right? I think you’ve talked about this if you want to receive the max solar input in a given timeframe.
I am completely new to solar and have picked up from Amazon a 'Dummies' book (so I still have a lot to learn.)...with that said based on what you showed, would there be a difference in collected wattage in using a parallel setup vs in series? My goal is to run my wood shop off of solar (as I only use it on the weekends). Thank you for posting this how-to.
As long as it's same sunlight parameters of both, it would be the same. The differences would come from wire sizes (more amps = bigger wires needed), shading affecting series vs parallel, etc.
Yep, It’s called series-parallel. Where you bring multiple strings (series) in parallel. The video reference right at the end will review this type of wiring 👍
Fairly nice video - but, you did not show a series/parallel connection with three panels. You did include a link to a video that covers it but, we shouldn't have to go to another video when you could have easily added it to this one ... especially since the other video doesn't include the math

Thanks for the feedback. I will actually cut out the Black Friday sale part next week once they are gone 👍

Brilliant, showing the actual connections on the white board and then with the panels makes the difference 👍🏻
Thanks for the feedback!

Sounds like a perfect setup 💯
Bar none the best explanation on parallel and series connection.
Thanks for the feedback and support 👍

Just getting into eco flow setup. Thanks for this lesson.
Glad to help!

You should do a install of the Anker home power panel, a lot of people might be buying it during the black Friday event

So, how would I connect 4 Renogy 100 watt solar panels to the Ecoflow Delta 2?
When talking about the parallel option for 3 panels, the amps would rarely be at the 15.42 mark either because that would mean the panel is 100% efficient (to the panel specs) correct? If it’s 96.2 watts on average the like the Renogy panel, it would still produce the same voltage but reduce the amps, right? I think you’ve talked about this if you want to receive the max solar input in a given timeframe.
Can you tell me why I'm only getting 30-32 watts out of a 100 watt Renogy panel when it's plugged into my Ecoflow delta 2?
Hmmmm, in full sun that would be reall, really low. Do you have a clamp meter to test the Voc and Isc?
@@everydaysolar no I don't, but I plan on buying one. what would be a good brand?
I am completely new to solar and have picked up from Amazon a 'Dummies' book (so I still have a lot to learn.)...with that said based on what you showed, would there be a difference in collected wattage in using a parallel setup vs in series?

As long as it's same sunlight parameters of both, it would be the same. The differences would come from wire sizes (more amps = bigger wires needed), shading affecting series vs parallel, etc.
Are my VOC’s close enough to string together? 1 EF rigid is 23.4 v and 100 watts. The other EF portable is 21.7v and 110 watts.
Most likely what are the Isc values? You might be slightly limiting one panel as it will only pass the lower amount of current.
Can you wire in series AND in parallel at the same time?
Yep, It’s called series-parallel. Where you bring multiple strings (series) in parallel. The video reference right at the end will review this type of wiring 👍

The sun is not real.
