Appreciate the review/video. Agree with needs a 4th kickstand. (thks for commenting about that!) I was excited until that was missing. Already have 4 panel, 3 leg setup and told myself not again. 😢
Thank you for the video. I have the OG version. 2 panels. They are supposedly NOT weatherproof by any means. Can you confirm that is the case? Also do you know if the new version is weatherproof? Not being able to leave these outside is a huge downside! Thanks!
Thanks, website says the new one is IP68 you can look that up on Google but, these aren't made to be outside for days on days. At that point get rigid panels
In this video you do a great job of physically comparing the new vs old and in your other you show the actual wattage you were reading with the new panel, but don’t compare the wattage output directly? I would love to see the nextgen 220w bifacial vs the old 220w bifacial vs the nextgen 220w (non-bifacial)…
I know you put the specs up and mentioned it briefly, but for those watching - the weight and size difference is SUBSTANTIAL. I have both, and the old ones are nearly prohibitively heavy and "tall" for packing in an SUV for overlanding. When I got my second set, I thought they had sent me the wrong ones at first because the size and weight was so much different. Is there a trade-off in durability? I have no idea, but I'd take the new ones every time.
Overall bifacial panels are a pain. You better off just getting regular panels. Obviously if you already purchased them, just make the best of them. As long as you got the right angle and you’re connecting them properly that’s all you could do
Hello, great channel very informative. I have the EcoFlow Delta 2 Max and EcoFlow Delta 1300, and the EcoFlow portable 110 Watt Solar panels 4 of them. I was considering purchasing the EcoFlow Wave 2 and one 200 Watt EcoFlow portable solar panel to use for home use in case of emergency. Should I invest better in a room portable ac for home use instead of the EcoFlow wave 2? If so what portable Room A/C units you recommend? Thank you
Hey buddy, I’m finally getting back to you. I didn’t really get a chance to read what you wrote earlier. I was working yes I actually work a full-time job. I like the wave 2 but how often do you lose power is the question?
Not much only when we have a hurricane. Thank you. The wave 2 seems like a good product but it looks more likely use is for camping, and rv? Is this correct?
I'm really angry now...this morning I shelled out 1200 Euros ( 1300 USD ) for a River 2 Pro+220W solar panels on the european website, and just discovered here that I will receive the older panel, which on top of being less efficient it costs more !! What a shameful business policy by Ecoflow... I am almost tempted to cancel the order...
@@TechMadeEzy Hi, no, evidently I didn't express myself well in English: what I wanted to emphasize is that two products with different characteristics are being sold depending on the geographic location of the store. And there is no legal reason for this: the two panels are made from similar material. No, it is a matter of poor commercial policy. If the European website had stated "Nextgen Panel" and then I received the old model, then it would have been fraud.

Great video. I wish EF would have added a 4th kickstand. 4 panels should have 4 kickstands. EF cheaped out by only using 3.
Kevin thanks always appreciate your input 🔥

Have it. Doesn’t need it. In fact, depending on the surface sometimes I only need/use two. Great design.

Hello, the link is wrong, it's for normal panel 220W, thanks.
Try this and thank you for letting me know

Thank you for making a "How-to" for setting up. Instructions on box and paper insert are worthless. Your vid is super!
Glad it helped thank you

Good point
Unfortunately the nextgen panels are not available in Europe. I asked Ecoflow EU and there is no timeline at all when they might be available.👎
They are very new, but hopefully they’ll be available to you soon
@@TechMadeEzy I hope so. They improved all the negatives I had with the old ones. Better stand. Lighter. Thanks for the review. Very helpful !
Thanks buddy
Des voleurs !

Love the new one, build quality seems very similar
sad you cant buy the new one in EU
Hopefully that will change
Very unhappy with loss of power with bi facial solar panels.
Never again 😮
Love the dog 🐕
Thanks she’s in heaven now
what do you use instead? suggestions?

Alex thank you and what I would ask is that you follow up with me on this I'll have to look at it later on
Hello will do. Thank you

@AlexMartinez-vc7mx it’s made for small areas like tents or if you have like a small RV

Are you sure the panels said NextGen when you ordered them?
