What’s in the Box
Do not attempt to carry this yourself, it’s slightly larger and slightly heavier than the river Pro. Having an extra hand will help.
If you reside in a gated community or an apartment, it’s advisable to request the delivery partner to deliver the package to your doorstep instead of the leasing office, provided that option is available.
Here’s what you can find inside the box
-
AC wall charger
-
Car charging cable

Ecoflow Delta 2: Cons Â
- Hard to Read Display: The display is a little bit hard to read, especially during the day when it has a reflective coating on the front.
- Loud Fan: The fan is loud when using the device at high load, which can be distracting for some users.
- Lack of Three-Prong Outlets: The device only has two three-prong outlets in the back, which may not be sufficient for some users.
- No Wireless Charging: The device lacks wireless charging, which would have been a nice feature to have on top.
- Limitation on Battery Expansion: If you want to expand the device with a second battery, the second battery needs to be connected to the first power station in order to charge.
Ecoflow Delta 2: Paired with Ecoflow 220 watt bifacial solar panels
There are several reasons why pairing the EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel with the EcoFlow DELTA 2 is a good idea. Here are some of them:
– The EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel is designed to be compatible with the EcoFlow DELTA 2. It has a solar to XT60 charging cable that can plug directly into the DELTA 2’s input port.
– The EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel has a unique two-in-one design that can capture solar energy from both sides of the panel. This means it can generate up to 25% more power than a conventional solar panel.
– The EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel has a high conversion efficiency of up to 23%, which means it can convert more sunlight into electricity. In my experience, peak sunlight in the middle of summer here in Los Angeles would peak around 180-190watts with the solar panel placed at the optimal angle.
– The main reason I bought the EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel is portability. It’s foldable, portable, not that heavy and durable. It comes with its own carry case and kickstand, and it has an IP68 waterproof rating which is important in case, you guessed it, it rains!Â
By pairing the EcoFlow 220W Bifacial Solar Panel with the EcoFlow DELTA 2, you can enjoy clean, reliable, and sustainable power for your home, outdoor, or off-grid needs. You can also save money on your energy bills by avoiding peak rates and using renewable energy sources.
