EcoFlow Solar Panel 220W solar panel

The EcoFlow 220W solar panel is double-sided. Its front side generates electricity from sunlight with a power of 220 watts, and the cell on the back side generates electricity with a maximum power of 155 watts. If there is a reflective surface behind the panel, such as a clear mirror or sheet metal surface, it can collect up to 80 percent more energy than a normal 220 watt solar panel. Without a reflective background surface, the rear cell collects about 25 percent more light from the environment than a single-sided panel.

The EcoFlow 220W solar panel is made of thin tempered glass. Thus, it is up to five times harder than other similar solar panels. It also withstands heat up to 148 degrees Celsius. When opened, the dimensions of the panel are 183 x 82 x 2.5 centimeters, and when folded, a measly 50 x 82 x 3.2 centimeters. The panel weighs only 9.5 kilograms.

Different sizes of EcoFlow solar panels for a wide range of needs
EcoFlow portable solar panels offer natural and renewable energy in an easy form and no fossil and polluting energy sources are needed. Handily folded solar panels can easily be carried along, for example, in a car or boat. Commissioning is also easy and fast, as opening the panel and connecting the cables can be done in a few seconds. In this way, you get as much out of solar energy as possible with little effort.

EcoFlow solar panels are dust and water protected according to the IP67 or IP68 standard, depending on the model, which means they are suitable for outdoor use in almost all weather conditions. They can withstand frost, heat (-20–85 °C) as well as wind. Because the solar panels are lightweight, their use, for example, in a summer house, boat or campsite is effortless. The best angle of use of the solar panel can be easily found with the help of the adjustable stand and the EcoFlow phone application, when the panel is used together with the EcoFlow charging station. Orienting the panel towards the sun is also possible visually, because even a 20-degree deviation from the optimal angle still has little effect on the charging power.

EcoFlow solar panels can be used to directly power electrical devices or charge additional portable batteries. For example, the iPhone 13 smartphone consumes about 12 watts of electricity, so in full sunlight even an inexpensive panel could theoretically charge up to eight phones at the same time. Alternatively, even a small solar panel at the cottage can provide the necessary electricity for a laptop computer and a modern cottage television.

If the need for electricity is high, EcoFlow solar panels can also be chained together, which increases the amount of energy recovered. You get the most benefit from solar panels by connecting them to an EcoFlow charging station, where energy can be stored for future use. This enables intelligent energy regulation, which guarantees a steady use of energy production as needed. In addition, the charging station can simultaneously power many different devices.

Depending on the model, EcoFlow solar panels are capable of 21-23 percent energy efficiency thanks to high-quality monocrystalline solar cells. In Finland, especially during the summer from April to September, solar panels are a very viable source of energy. However, Finland's northern location can sometimes cause a power loss of about twenty percent, depending on the weather conditions.

In addition to the new 220 watt model, EcoFlow solar panels are available in three other sizes. All models use the common MC4 connection for solar panels, which guarantees versatile usage possibilities with various electrical devices. With the supplied MC4/XT60 cable, the panel can be connected directly to the EcoFlow charging station, and with the separately available MC4-USB-C cable, the solar panel can also charge USB-connected devices directly.
