[QUOTE="scramp, post: 4272994, member: 51142"] [B]I got at Eco-Flow Delta 2 Max with a 200 watt solar panel. First day our of the box I set up the solar panel flat on my deck at 12 noon. It came out of the box with a 30% charge and by 7:30 PM it was at 61% of charge. Max charge rate 170 watts, lowest 100 watts. The sun was going down and getting ready to rain so I plugged the unit and got to 100% in 35 Minutes on house power. My intention is to use it for the main fridge, mini-freezer, Kerig coffee maker and charging phones and I-pads. I have a Honda 2K generator I used previously. What I intend to do is in the event of an outage power off the Eco-Flow and when needed, due to the panels not keeping up, charge the unit off of the Honda. I'm making a better rack for the panels than the set up they have. When I get that all completed, I will plug the refer/freezers into it an see how it holds up. We live in coastal NC and it looks to be a potentially bad hurricane season. Unfortunately, most other people in our community don't have anything set up if we take a weather hit. I'll be the go to guy for resources. Being a retired electrician, I'm use to that. My fall back is I don't have an NC license or insurance. My other is, if I get a Christmas card you are a friend, if not you are just an acquaintance. [/B] [/QUOTE]
