What is EcoFlow PowerStream
EcoFlow PowerStream is a device for producing electricity that can also be installed on a terrace and uses photovoltaic panels. The mechanism is conceptually very complex because it provides that the energy produced by solar panels is conveyed, through an intelligent micro inverter, towards a high-capacity battery, EcoFlow Delta Max 2.
The same micro switch connects to the domestic electrical system, through a simple “plug”, which is hooked up to a normal house socket, allowing energy to be introduced into the system, effectively reducing consumption.
The switch allows the energy produced to be “phased” with that which passes through the system, thus reducing the impact on general consumption and thus making savings on the energy bill.
How to use EcoFlow PowerStream
Using EcoFlow PowerStream is very easy because you just need to position the solar panels, make the connections, which are extremely simple between the panels themselves and the switch, then hook up the intelligent control unit to the battery and use the last cable supplied to “sustain” consumption households and reduce costs.
If necessary, if necessary, you can also simplify the installation, by hooking the solar panels directly to the battery, a different way to use EcoFlow PowerStream, which however can be particularly useful when you find yourself, for example, in situations where there is no energy electric.
If the system generates more energy than is absorbed by the domestic system, the battery charges and during the night continues to input energy, to such an extent that in theory, under normal conditions, the battery should be enough to operate a home for all night hours.
Without air conditioning systems or special services, it is estimated that on average a home consumes very little energy at night, with an oscillation ranging from 80 to 200 watts: this means that with a charged battery, the energy could be enough for almost the entire Night.
This is not the only scenario, because there could also be an alternative use: in the event of a blackout, the battery, recharged through the solar panels, could be used to power devices inside the house, using up the reserve, which is 2 KW.
How EcoFlow Delta Max 2 works
The Ecoflow battery is an evolution of already known products, such as Ecoflow River, born as an evolved form of energy generator: in reality, we are talking about products very similar to a real power bank, with infinitely greater autonomy and with multiple types of exits.
To take advantage of the capacity, from 2 kw, in fact, you can use 4 Schuko sockets, 2 low-power USB A, 2 USB Fast Charge, and 2 100W USB-C.
One of the most important details to know about Ecoflow Delta max 2 is the type of battery used because LFP solutions guarantee very long-term use: after 10 years, with a daily charge cycle, they maintain 80% of their capacity.
An equally important aspect is that of silence because Ecoflow Delta Max 2 promises to operate with the lowest noise level in its category. The maximum output power is 2,400 watts, so, even for a short time, any type of object used in the home can be powered.
The application of EcoFlow PowerStream
As always, with devices of this type, a fundamental role is held by the app, thanks to which the main functions are controlled. As we had already told with the Ecoflow Blade review, Ecoflow PowerStream is also managed completely through the use of the smartphone, which allows you to adjust multiple parameters.
Firstly, it is possible to decide whether the energy generated by the solar panels should be used mainly to support the electrical system, by introducing energy into the circuit, or to charge the battery.
Also through the battery, you can manage software updates, device name, and device sharing.
How much does it cost?
The price of EcoFlow PowerStream is very attractive, in relation to the type of product it represents: the system with 400 Watt flexible solar panels, combined with an 800 Watt inverter and a 2 kW Delta Max 2 battery costs around 3,000 euros.
To correctly evaluate this cost, you have to think that the battery alone costs around 2,000 euros.
Verdict
We opened the Ecoflow PowerStream review by anticipating our impressions a little, perhaps betraying a little of our optimism. In fact, even at the end of the Ecoflow PowerStream review, we can confirm that this product, albeit with a non-secondary cost impact from our point of view, is really very interesting for some technical peculiarities, which is also combined with truly impressive ease of use.
We have not yet been able to calculate precisely what impact on consumption is generated by this original Ecoflow solution, but we are certainly fascinated by the idea of using a system capable of producing clean energy and of supporting our traditional system, without the need for invasive or particularly complicated, all you need is a terrace.
The only aspects that we probably would have managed differently concern the cabling: the entire system, although well thought out, assumes that there are several favorable conditions for its use.
In reality, if we take into account the various variables, i.e. where the panels are to be installed, where the switch will probably be placed, and where the battery can be placed in total safety, we realize how the supply of cables has ample room for improvement.
Much longer cables would be needed to be able to place the devices in different places, especially the one that goes from the switch to the battery and the one that from the same switch must reach a power outlet. This is the only aspect on which we hope for future interventions, to allow easier installations.
Overall, however, Ecoflow PowerStream represents an extremely original and captivating solution, above all for the type of technology it contains, combined with a truly competitive simplicity of use.
