The EcoFlow Delta 2 Solar Generator
The EcoFlow Delta 2 Solar Generator arrived in 2022 as the successor to EcoFlow’s original Delta model, it brought faster charging, a longer cycle life, and expandable battery storage. It launched with a 1,024 Wh lithium iron phosphate (LFP) battery, and it was designed as a unit that could be used for camping and outdoor recreation, as well as emergency use at home.
The system delivers 1,800 W of continuous AC output, with a surge rating of 2,200 W using EcoFlow’s propriety X-Boost option – enough to power around 90% of common household appliances. The inverter is paired with a number of outlets, including six AC sockets, multiple USB-A and USB-C ports, a 12 V car socket, and DC 5521 ports.
Charging speed was a headline feature at launch – thanks to the company’s X-Stream tech the Delta 2 can go from empty to 80% in just 50 minutes when connected to mains power, and reach a full charge in 80 minutes. Capacity can also be scaled up to 2,048 Wh with an extra Delta 2 battery, or to 3,040 Wh when paired with the Delta Max expansion pack.
The Delta 2 can be paired with EcoFlow solar panels as a bundled kit (as shown here), which pair the power station with folding solar panels allowing you to charge when off the grid. The higher-capacity 220 W bifacial solar panels offer fast charging and improved outdoor usability – with an IP68 water and dust-resistant rating.
Two of the larger panels can recharge the Delta 2 in roughly three hours of good sunlight, while a single panel can manage the task in six. All of this can be remotely monitored and controlled through EcoFlow’s smartphone app in realtime.
Weighing 12 kgs (26 lbs), the Delta 2 is portable enough for car camping, RV trips, and light fieldwork. When you’re not using it out in the wilderness it also makes an excellent home power backup unit – for unexpected blackouts or natural disasters when power can be out for some time.
