Recharging with solar
The EcoFlow River 2 Pro accepts up to 220W of solar input. In real conditions that harvests about 825Wh on a sunny day (5 peak-sun hours), or about 750Wh with one 200W panel.
Tips
- A 1.7 L kettle boils in about 4 minutes at 1,500W, so each boil uses roughly 100Wh.
- The EcoFlow River 2 Pro uses LiFePO4 (LFP) cells, rated for thousands of cycles, so running it down daily won’t wear it out quickly.
