It should be noted, you can exceed the 400 watts, i.e. connect two or even three 400 watt panels together in parallel for hot overcast days as long as the 60 volts max is NOT exceeded. The 400 watt max is the limit the Wave 2 will take in.
It’s almost a waste putting a 200 or 400watt panel out there to only be able to run the fan. It would be of better use to direct the power from the panel to the solar generator and run the AC from there. That fan probably only uses 10-20 watts of juice.
So a 400watt panel is tied up for the use of a 10-20 watt device.
Definitely may as well use all of its input into the solar generator. Run the fan as needed and than be able to turn the compressor on also as needed and off.
An bring all the gains into keeping the generator topped up
$1000 fan? No, im not that excited.
It's only a fan if you only give it 12v DC. It's like a car is only 5 stationary seats if you don't put fuel in it.
Harbor freight preaditor 5000.
It'll cost you way more to build your own system
It’s worth it. It’s costly but you get what you paid for. Between the undermount battery and the delta 2 pro max. Running this thing 7-8 hours per night, I can do this for 3 nights solid, not to mention a ton of phone and laptop charges as well. It charges very fast considering how long it lasts. I’ve also used a Tesla charger with a DC outlet converter to charge it while on the road.
Turning on just the fan is not impressive. Are those 400w solar panels? I'm disappointed it won't run just off solar. That's the point of this question and test.
I'm not clear on how this can be considered a success. Neither air conditioning nor heating worked. It's essentially a $1000 fan. Would the results be different if you had the add-on battery installed? I'd be interested if a solar panel could run the AC or heater in that configuration. Thank you.
Finally somebody asked the right question, I’m trying to power this AC by a 48V small battery into the xt60i plug and charge the battery by solar. Hope the AC can normally operate, not just fan only.
@@liudon676 did it work?
My understanding is that the solar panels are used in conjunction with the battery pack for the wave 2 to either charge/pass thru while using to keep the batteries charged when you have no other option at night for power.
Can it be powered by the delta max while the max receives solar charge?
Not that I know of
Excellent!
Charging with solar is too slow, the wave 2 is a lot of power, my zero breeze with much less power rarely charges with solar. Directly with a power station would be better.
This was just a presentation to show that it’s possible that’s all. 😎
Can you do the extra Delta 2 battery (without the power ports) plugged straight into the expansion port?
Oh, I’m not 100% but I do believe you can plug the Delta 2 battery directly to the wave 2, I believe you have to connect the Delta 2 battery to the delta 2 and make sure the firmware is updated.
Very noisy compared to advertising and cooling is pathetically slow. Could not be more disappointed from a self proclaimed reputable company
I was just demonstrating that you could run it off of solar by itself. It’s obviously a rare occasion most people will definitely use the battery so they can actually have air conditioning or heating.
My old Prius had something similar to this - its roof was a solar panel that would run the fans during the day while the car was parked, but it couldn’t run the a/c (let alone the heater). But solar technology continues to improve every year, so maybe one day!
I did not know that that’s pretty cool. I’ll tell you Toyota does pretty good with that car. I’ve had a Ford fusion hybrid for a long time now I actually have over 200,000 miles.
Are you saying the solar panel was fixed into the roofline somehow? if it was not fixed, how secure could it have been without the risk of it being ripped off from thieves who have nothing better to do ?
@@flolou8496 It was factory, integral to the car -- the solar panel WAS the roof.
Please don't even think of stopping doing this type of content. We look to your opinion. Your content is appreciated. I hope things are going well with your new job!
much much appreciated Chris
Try 400 watts vs the 220 to see if it matters on input wattage
without a battery to charge, nothing more than a fan will result
@@greengooseman so you can’t have it running without it being hooked up to something without battery?
@rachel7550 it comes with an AC adapter so you can plug it in a wall but it also has its own battery and you can use a few of the Delta power stations some of the models
@@TechMadeEzy you didn’t answer my question. Can it run without the extra $500 battery or being hooked up to something? Because if not not worth the money
@rachel7550 with no ac plug and no battery it will not run, it needs power. Solar will only run fan mode
You can clip that angle finder onto the edge of the solar panel. I'm really interested in the Wave 2. Thanks for the video.
I don't bother doing that anymore I just use it for a second get the right angle and put it aside but thank you I appreciate it Ed
Great to see this test but for me the result is unimpressive due to the fact that as a fan it doesn’t move much air at all to cool. I have a high velocity blower fan made by lasko that pulls around 90-100 watts at full blast and will about blow your skin off. It will really cool you down MUCH better than this unit (I own a Wave 2 as well).
For me it’s much better to get your solar panel and hook to one of their battery units. You can charge the battery while also running the fan full blast.
So for instance if you’re pulling 100w with the fan, and you’re pulling 200w with the solar panel, you’re storing 100w while also under gale force winds lol…
Not saying your video isn’t useful; it was great to know. But the result without heating or cooling makes this setup a total bust. The solar panel with a battery unit and a high powered fan makes a lot more sense and provides power for other things as well for the same price.
I personally have 6 of these 220w solar panels, 3 delta 2 + extra battery setups as well as the Wave 2.
Another cool thing about that is the Wave 2 can use the direct DC cable to power from either the head unit or the extra battery alone, allowing you to essentially split the main unit and use it somewhere and then take off the extra battery and use it separately to power the Wave 2.
Now if you’re actually using this unit for heat or cool, that’s a totally different story and although incredibly expensive, I think it’s worth it due to the dual function and how it pairs with the battery units so well.
The bad news is EcoFlow batteries cannot be charged on their own unless you are using their smart gas / propane generator. Hopefully one day they will add that ability.
@@TechMadeEzy What do you mean?
Edit: ooh I think you mean the extra battery units which don’t have the led display on them and this is true, you have to have a head/main unit to charge them. But at the same time, you wouldn’t buy an “extra” battery unless you had the normal one.
And I agree with you I thought this was garbage that the extra batteries can’t be charged independently. Would be nice to be able to charge them alone- a sales tactic I’m sure. But that’s poor business to put sales tactics over functionality.
@@TechMadeEzy Obviously they (sorta) got me though, which is why I have 3 main units and 3 extra batteries. I didn’t buy them separately though they came as 1 package.
Normally I would have jumped up to a higher model but this is why I have 6 220w panels - 440w per head+EB unit (max solar input is 500w for those)… so I can charge 3 units at the same time. Then, once they’re charged I can pull one of the extra batteries off and pair it with the Wave 2. Gives me power in 4 separate locations if needed. I have a family of 5 and don’t want everyone piled into 1 room long term haha…
Also I don’t keep my fridge in my bedroom etc- would be fairly hard to carry it up the stairs with all the food in it- and I don’t prefer sleeping in the kitchen 😋 so I need to split the batteries up.
I would have gone up to the Max instead, but I got these units (main+EB) for $1,000 a piece. I think the Max is $1,600-1,800 for the same capacity (2048kwh)…. So for $3,000 I have 6,000kwh which is decent to me in comparison with their normal prices.
At least that’s how my head worked.
And I think the big units only can take 1,000w max solar at once- and 3 units with 440w each is 1,320w so a tiny bit faster and gives me more redundancy/backup if a panel or unit fails. Same reason I got 220w panels instead of a 400w… redundancy and 440w > 400w.
Again- in my head this seemed like the best and most flexible option for what I needed.
I think I got the solar panels for $379 or $350 each (normally $550 or so) and the Wave 2 I got for $800 using eco credits.
Expensive? Yes for sure. But the damage could have been a lot worse had I not gotten good deals on it all.
Thanks for the video again!
Best of luck
with the external battery fully charge, the AC at max speed and 400W solar plugged in, will pass through charging work, if yes, how long before its dead. i know without passthrough, it will last only 2 hours w/o passthrough with full batter. but im curious if ac can work with passthrough and how long.
Best bet is to email Ecoflow on that one support@ecoflow.com
Wow , got solar energy just spinning a fan , this video is so 100% commercial
Thanks for sharing. It must be connected to the battery to charge and looks like a companion device for the ecoflow energy storage product. At nearly 50 pounds, it makes me wonder about its "portability". In considering using and moving it in my truck, I chose the ZB mark2.
can the AC run while connected to a normal car 12v cigarette port?
no
Skater, only on fan mode
All out of the xt60 i cables, but thanks for informing me. The instructions are almost non existent from the company. That is a great disappointment to me. I am searching for how to hook up the hoses. I wondered what the car charger was so thank you. Can you tell me if it too is an xt60 i or no i?
I believe it will fit , don’t have it in front of me to try so sorry
This A/C needs some sort of battery bank if there is no mains power. It has a companion battery ($$) and the EcoFlow Delta battery banks ($$$) will also run the heat or cooling. Otherwise great video (even greater if it was 4 minutes! :-)
It does come with a power plug and you can plug it right into a wall. Take a look at our video that we did if you have time.

How long does it take to charge battery from solar?
Is there a particular time of day you perform this test ?
Hi Times vary but this one was done late morning
Hi, I was wondering if you could run on electric during the day while charging battery and running battreys at night?
It does come with a plug that would go into an outlet so you can plug it in during the day but it depends on what mode you use to be able to run it at night, how high, fan etc.
What about with a Delta 2 and Solar Panels ???
Just a short quick demonstration, showing that solar can power the wave 2
How long would the 220 watt panel take to charge the add on battery?
If the panel generated let’s say 100w average it would take about 11 hours
@@TechMadeEzy its the bifacial so I think it could charge probably in 5 hrs. Thank you!
4:23 what is that extra pin for in the xt60i cable plug?
More amperage more power
👍👍
Please help me out, I'm a bit slow on the uptake. I will be needing this EcoFlo Wave for my cargo-rig build, but I'm not impressed with the small battery at its base. Apparently the Wave will work off of Certain solar batteries, but not all. Here is where I get confused. Which EcoFlo power station will power this AirCon Up?? And, can the Wave run All Day while being charged at the Same time??? I have a couple of other questions, can I call you direct??? That, would be nice. Please Advise & Thank You.
No calls sorry, and that made me laugh a little I have to say. I’d recommend looking at the Delta Pro, Delta 2 Max or the Delta 2 they can run the unit and you can use them to power other devices. Depending on your budget, best one is delta pro but its heavy about 100 lbs.
@@TechMadeEzy Thanks for helping me out. There are a ton of different products these days with no cross reference data available to sort it all out, especially within the same manufacturer. What about 'other' power stations, that could be used to run the Wave?? Ya see, I'm still needing some info to make the right decision. And what's up with no calls, are you not in business??? Again, I don't get it. Thanks anyway.
I’m not a business, I do reviews. No store. That’s what youtube is for. You can call the manufacturer if that helps +1 (800) 368-8604
@@TechMadeEzy ok and thanks, I get it now. YT is for many things, not just reviews. Live n Learn??? Sometimes it happens that way.
As mentioned the Wave 2 comes with a regular power cords so you can plug it into any (portable) power source, whether it's a wall outlet or another power station. I ended up the Delta 2 Max cause just like you I find the removable battery too small plus it makes the A/C bulkier.
When plugging in the Wave 2 in a separate power station you can use/charge that station just like you would when connecting other devices to it that draws power.
Why don't you test with a battery and solar so we can see the charging from solar while running heating and air conditioning 😊
The unit doesn't support solar and battery at the same time. Solar can be used to charge the battery only or run the unit in fan mode
@TechMadeEzy Have you tried it recently? I think this must have been addressed in a firmware update.
@TechMadeEzy It's hard to believe in this day and age that this unit wouldn't have pass through charging with solar.
@foodforestretirement2799 if you use a delta compatible power station you can charge solar and power the wave 2
@@TechMadeEzy 👍Got it.
I will be testing both ways in a couple of weeks. Could've sworn it works with the detachable battery as well. If I remember correctly from a couple of other reviews.
Can I over panel my Wave 2. I have two 250w PV panels. I over panel my solar power stations with no problems. Going over voltage is what destroys stuff. So hooking panels in Parallel will keep voltage below 60v.
Wave 2 supports 13 A if you are setting it up in parallel
Bling Junk!
YUSSSS!!!
I wanted to see if this worked.
Thank you!!! I got the wave 2.
Lol love it
