Recharging with solar
The EcoFlow Delta 2 Max accepts up to 1000W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 3.8 kWh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Solar can keep up. String lights use about 100Wh a day at 5 hours of use, so with enough panels and good sun the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max can run it indefinitely.
Tips
- LED string lights for a campsite or patio use 5–25W per strand.
- You’ll still have about 2380W of AC capacity left for other devices at the same time, though they’ll share the same battery.
- The EcoFlow Delta 2 Max uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
