Which EcoFlow Power Stations Work With the EcoFlow 60W Solar Panel?

The EcoFlow 60W solar panel fits RIVER 2, RIVER 3 and DELTA 3 models. EcoFlow's specs vary, so we checked worst-case figures. Here is how many to connect.

Checked against the sources listed below. How we research.

Key takeaways

  • EcoFlow's official pages give different Voc and Isc figures for the 60W panel, so we checked every station using the worst case (Voc 25.6V, Isc 3.5A). Check the label on your panel.
  • On a RIVER 2, RIVER 3 or RIVER 3 UPS: use 1 panel, or 2 in parallel. Two in parallel fill the 110W input.
  • On a RIVER 2 Max or Pro: up to 3 in parallel (180W). Never wire 2 in series, because 51.2V is over the 50V limit.
  • On a RIVER 3 Plus or Max: 2 in series (120W), or up to 3 in parallel (180W).
  • A Solar (MC4) to XT60i cable comes in the box. Parallel wiring also needs an EcoFlow Solar Parallel Connection Cable, which is sold separately.

The EcoFlow 60W Portable Solar Panel works with RIVER 2, RIVER 3 and DELTA 3 models. On a RIVER 2 or RIVER 3, the best setup is 2 panels in parallel, which fill the 110W solar input. EcoFlow’s own spec figures for this panel disagree, so every combination below uses the worst case (Voc 25.6V, Isc 3.5A). Read the label on your panel to confirm.

Why the specs vary

EcoFlow lists this panel differently on its official pages:

Source Voc Isc
PH store 24.5V 3.5A
CA store 21.6V 3.5A
Manual for the newer TOPCon 60W 25.5V 3.1A
AU store (Type-C) 25.6V 3.1A
UK store 25.6V 2.06A

We take the highest voltage (25.6V), the highest current (3.5A) and the lowest operating voltage (18.2V). A panel that passes with those numbers will pass with any of the real ones. The Lazada listing is titled “60W Flexible”, but its text describes EcoFlow’s original folding 60W panel with a kickstand case. Because versions differ, confirm with the seller that you are getting matching panels before you wire two in series.

Compatibility table

Power station Port limits Panels / wiring that pass Max usable solar
RIVER 2, RIVER 3, RIVER 3 UPS 11–30V, 8A, 110W 1 single, or 2 parallel 110W (2 parallel)
RIVER 2 Max, RIVER 2 Pro 11–50V, 13A, 220W 1 single, or 2–3 parallel 180W (3 parallel)
RIVER 3 Plus, RIVER 3 Max, RIVER 3 Max Plus 11–55V, 13A, 220W 1; 2 series; or 2–3 parallel 180W (3 parallel)
DELTA 3, 3 Classic, 3 1500, 3 1000 Air, 1000 Air UPS 11/12–60V, 15A, 500W 1; 2 series; or 2–4 parallel 240W (4 parallel)
DELTA 3 Plus, DELTA 3 2000 Air (per port, 2 ports) 15A, 500W per port 1; 2 series; or 2–4 parallel 240W per port
DELTA 3 Max 11–60V, 13A, 500W 1; 2 series; or 2–3 parallel 180W
DELTA Pro 11–150V, 15A, 1,600W 1–5 in series, or 2–4 parallel 300W (5 series)
DELTA Pro 3, Low-PV 11–60V, 20A, 1,000W 1; 2 series; or 2–5 parallel 300W (5 parallel)

Cables: a Solar (MC4) to XT60i charging cable is in the box. For series wiring, the panels’ MC4 leads join male-to-female. Parallel wiring also needs the EcoFlow Solar Parallel Connection Cable (or T/Y-branch cables), sold separately.

Combinations to avoid

  • 2 in series on any RIVER 2 or RIVER 3 (incl. UPS): 51.2V is over the 30V limit, and over the 50V limit of the RIVER 2 Max/Pro.
  • 4 in parallel on a RIVER 2 Max/Pro, RIVER 3 Plus/Max or DELTA 3 Max: 14A is over their 13A limit.
  • 3 in series on any DELTA 3: 76.8V is over the 60V limit.
  • 1 panel on the DELTA Pro 3 High-PV port: 18.2V is below the 30V minimum. Use the Low-PV port, or at least 2 in series.

Example charge times

These estimates assume full rated output the whole time, which real sun rarely gives:

  • RIVER 3 (245Wh) with 2 in parallel (110W): 245 ÷ 110 ≈ 2.2 hours of full output. EcoFlow PH quotes “as fast as 2.6 hr” with 110W of solar on the RIVER 3 (UPS).
  • RIVER 2 Max (512Wh) with 3 in parallel (180W): about 2.8 hours of full output.

On a cloudy rainy-season day, expect much longer. See why solar panels give less than their rated watts.

Setup

Unfold the panel or panels in full sun, connect them (single, series or parallel as listed above), then plug the XT60i end into the station’s solar input. This is plug-and-play gear that you can set up yourself by following the manual. Wiring into your house or roof needs a licensed electrician and an LGU electrical permit.

What to buy

Check what your appliances will run with the EcoFlow runtime calculator.

Bottom line

Two EcoFlow 60W panels in parallel are a good match for a RIVER 2 or RIVER 3. Three in parallel suit a RIVER 2 Max or RIVER 3 Plus. Because EcoFlow publishes conflicting specs for this panel, read your panel’s label before wiring any series string.

Frequently asked questions

Is the EcoFlow 60W 'flexible' panel on Lazada really flexible?
No. The Lazada listing is titled '60W Flexible Solar Panel', but its description is for EcoFlow's original folding 60W Portable Solar Panel (23.4% efficiency, 3.2 kg with its kickstand case). EcoFlow does not sell a 60W flexible panel on any official page we checked.
Can I connect two EcoFlow 60W panels in series to a RIVER 3?
No. Two in series reach 51.2V (worst-case Voc), far above the RIVER 3's 30V limit. Wire them in parallel instead (7A total, within the 8A limit), using an EcoFlow Solar Parallel Connection Cable.
Why do the EcoFlow 60W specs differ between websites?
EcoFlow's PH, CA, UK and AU pages and its manual list different Voc (21.6–25.6V) and Isc (2.06–3.5A) figures, partly because there are older and newer 60W versions. We use the highest Voc and Isc so every combination stays safe, and we recommend you read the spec label on your own panel.
