You just need to plug the cable from the microinverter into the apartment socket and that's it? You don't need to turn off any switches in the apartment (for example, the switch that is responsible for supplying electricity from the street to the apartment)?
Sorry if i sound thick. But is it adding electricity to my home via the 3 pin plug, or is it taking electric to top up the battery along with the solar panels. Im obviously new to this. 😊

I have a small grid tie system already fitted,could i install this as well to supplement my house energy needs? What paneĺs and battery do you have? Cheers,good system
Can the system work with an Ecoflow stand alone battery? Considering that stand alone battery is cheaper than the an Ecoflow powerstation it should be a way to save money ...
@@raincatchertec if power stream solar charging and delta 2 together be allot 1300w max . So delta2 is charging the battery max 500w and if you use bigger loads like 1800w coffee machine will be compensating 1300 it would make a big difference ? Do i think right?
How can outlets select the battery/solar powered outlets instead of external power? What happens when you add this to an off grid cabin with no mains power connected? Im having trouble wrapping my head around how this works...
Hello Raincatcher, please let me know where I can order the EcoFlow PowerStream and SmartPlug. And how exactly could the system work without the Smart Plug. I did not understand that.
@@raincatchertec Yeah thanks, I shouldn’t have bothered you and looked it all up for myself, I got overexcited and wanted all the info NOW! Lol. I just ordered everything, well worth the £479. I’ll have to find things to use to get through 800W, all my gaming and basic power needs are going to be free from now on. 👍🏻
I emailed ecoflow last week to ask if the PowerStream was legal for power into house wiring in the UK. The said no it is not. Which is why it is not on sale on their uk website. So why do uk youtubers promoting this device fail to mention this key fact?
You can feed anything up to 800w, which can be set up in the app. Say you set to 600w, it will feed in to your grid 600w, then anything above 600w the grid will supply.
@@colinherd No, you need to tell the system what is your base load and add smart plugs for additional information. No clamp to see the overall consumption. This is the achilles heel for this product.
I've got this setup, but my energy company is still showing that I'm using and paying for electricity, even though I'm covering the base load by the inventor. Any ideas why?
Not from here, but yes I figured it out. My energy supplier was misreporting the amount used and I didn't have the system setup correctly. I was prioritising power storage and not using powering the system, I also hadn't set the correct amount of AC power demand to satisfy the home devices I have. The ecoflow plugs help this as you know what is being used when, and the system powers these above sending the remaining to the home.
Thank you for getting back to me ! Its a pitty that the powerstream can't work on power outtage though right ? Would be so useful. Also let's say your house needs 900w and the system sends out 800w out, there is no way to know if the plug helps to get the "free" electricity to it, or if it coems from the grid right ? @@mkelsey
Hi, this and your follow up video's are really useful. Can I ask, do you need both Solar Strings set up for this to work, or will it work on one?. Thanks
I have lots of unused solar, so am considering a Ecoflow Delta2 Max ,and this so I do not have to plug washing machine, dishwasher etc in to the Delta. is that possible?
OK powerstream is here! How much was it please? Can you share this info? And I wonder which port it uses to connect to the battery? It seems like it uses extra battery port. Does this mean when Delta Pro has 2 extra battery ports I cannot use 2 extra delta pros with inverter?
I had no idea you could put power into a house hole plug ring. I would have thought this would trip the breakers.. So from what I've seen this uses the existing mains to energize the other plugs. And I'm guessing your actual smart meter won't think you are using any? Sorry for the dumb question, I've just never seen this approach before.
@@raincatchertec thks but in the back delta 2 PV connectors too? not only in the micro inverter, could i connect 800w to the microinverter and other 800 w to the delta 2 PV connector only to charge the battery faster

It takes energy from battery and solar to lower your consumption from the grid
Legal in the Uk is the big question ..? G98 doesn’t cover it ..

Great video 👍 can you do an update video one year on?
Can I use the power stream with solar panels only, no power station and just feed energy into the wall socket?
Yes you can
Can the system work with an Ecoflow stand alone battery? Considering that stand alone battery is cheaper than the an Ecoflow powerstation it should be a way to save money ...
yes you can use with just ecoflow extra battery
How does it know the household load?
you set it yourself on your personal needs - its a permanent stream.
Does it not defeat the purpose of the RCD protection on the circuit?
No
Can I plug the solar panel all so, to the delta 2 at the same time as the power stream connected to the battery ? That would happen?
Yes you can

Hi, does it power say your lighting circuit as well or just the ring of sockets that it is plugged into?
whole house light circuit as well
How can outlets select the battery/solar powered outlets instead of external power? What happens when you add this to an off grid cabin with no mains power connected? Im having trouble wrapping my head around how this works...
will not work it has to have a signal from the grid, like when there a power outage it will not work.
@@raincatchertec ok thanks. So how does the house grid know to consume power from the inverter and not from the outside grid?
Hello Raincatcher, please let me know where I can order the EcoFlow PowerStream and SmartPlug. And how exactly could the system work without the Smart Plug. I did not understand that.
Will be released 31st ecoflow uk
Do you know of this works with Delta Pro’s? It probably does but the plugs don’t look correct for the Pro’s battery ports.
Yes, I will work with Delta pro

So Raincatcher you do need to buy a lead to go into your battery ? In my case a Delta max
You would have buy the delta max lead
Does that feed into the grid making it illegal?
So does this power everything in the house or just one ring main?
upto 800w
@@raincatchertec but does it do the whole house?
Yes, it will do the whole house up to 800w load

Who cares if its legal😂 anything thats good for us is illegal
Can two powerstreams work in the same grid household? Like if you have 2 delta pro with two powerstreams
Yes, you can run two powerstream together on the same grid
Looks like a neat system. Does it have a smart way of measuring the load from the house to try and match demand (up to the 600w max, of course)?
up to 800
And the measurement of the household load?
You can feed anything up to 800w, which can be set up in the app. Say you set to 600w, it will feed in to your grid 600w, then anything above 600w the grid will supply.
@@colinherd No, you need to tell the system what is your base load and add smart plugs for additional information. No clamp to see the overall consumption. This is the achilles heel for this product.
If the system can work without the smart plug, what is smart plugs function?
Use can use a smart plug, so control it through the app. You also push power to it from powerstream
What was that massive screen you were using? Also, if you have two of these can this double your watt capacity?

You can use it on one string
@@raincatchertec that is super useful for me, thank you for clarifying
I have lots of unused solar, so am considering a Ecoflow Delta2 Max ,and this so I do not have to plug washing machine, dishwasher etc in to the Delta. is that possible?
Max input is 800w
Yes if you plug the appliances into the delta2 direct. Solar will charge the delta2 and feed into the house system.
Which price in UK? for the power stream and cables only
Price will be announced to tomorrow join the ecoflow uk fb page
OK powerstream is here! How much was it please? Can you share this info? And I wonder which port it uses to connect to the battery? It seems like it uses extra battery port. Does this mean when Delta Pro has 2 extra battery ports I cannot use 2 extra delta pros with inverter?
It uese the extra battery port, prices released today

Are the leads included in the box or a separate purchase
You would have to buy a river or delta lead, which machine your using
can i use it in a house without electricity?
No for safety considerations the system turns loses grid power
Which of these cables are included in the price and which cables are purchased separately?
included
Can you use it without the solar plugged in?
Yes, you can run it of the ecoflow delta range
Lots of questions hope you make more detail video soon
Can it put say 700 watts in to everything running in the whole house?
@FYFM you put 800w back in to your home from battery or solar
@FYFM will be doing more videos soon
