EcoFlow STREAM Balcony Power Plant

EcoFlow STREAM Balcony Power Plant: A New Way to Store Solar Energy

EcoFlow has a new product called the STREAM Balcony Power Station. It’s more than just a regular balcony solar system. This system lets you store and use solar energy in different parts of your home. Let’s see how it works and what it can do.

What is the EcoFlow STREAM System?

The EcoFlow STREAM system is a different way to use solar energy. It uses several storage units that can send power where you need it. You can pick different parts for the system to fit your needs.

Key Parts of the STREAM System

Let’s look at the main parts of the EcoFlow STREAM system:

• Microinverter: This part changes the energy from your solar panels into power you can use in your home. The STREAM microinverter can send up to 800 watts of power to your home. You don’t have to use the EcoFlow microinverter. The STREAM system can work with microinverters from other companies.
• AC Pro: This is a storage unit that plugs into a regular wall outlet. It can store power and send it back into your home’s power system. The AC Pro does not have any places to plug in solar panels. It’s only for storing and sending out power.
• Ultra: This storage unit has places to plug in up to four solar panels. You can also plug a microinverter into the Ultra. The Ultra can also give you power through its outlets if there is a power outage. You can connect two Ultra units together to double the power.

How the System Works

The EcoFlow STREAM system uses Wi-Fi to connect all the parts. You connect each part to your home’s Wi-Fi network. If you use a microinverter from another company, you can plug it directly into the STREAM system.

You can also use smart plugs, like those from EcoFlow or Shelly. These plugs let you control how much power your appliances use. For example, you can plug a smart plug into your refrigerator. When the refrigerator turns on, the STREAM system will know to send more power to that area of your house.

For even better control, you can use a smart meter. A smart meter watches how much power your home uses. It then sends the right amount of power from the STREAM system, up to 800 watts.

Setting Up the System

Setting up the EcoFlow STREAM system is easy. The parts are designed to be plug and play. You simply plug the cables into the right spots, and they lock into place. The system is also made to be used outside. The parts are protected from splashes of water.

How is STREAM Different?

Older balcony solar systems only send power from the solar panels to your home. The EcoFlow STREAM system is bidirectional. This means it can also take power from a wall outlet and store it in the batteries.

For example, if you have a power plan that charges you less at certain times, you can use the STREAM system to store power when it’s cheap. Then, you can use that stored power when electricity is more expensive.

Using the System

Here’s an example of how you can use the system:

Imagine you have a space heater that uses 2,200 watts of power. If you plug the space heater into a STREAM storage unit, it will use power from the batteries first. You will only need to get a small amount of power from the regular power grid.

How Efficient is the System?

The EcoFlow STREAM system is very efficient. When you charge the batteries, only a small amount of power is lost. When you use the power from the batteries, the system is also very efficient.

Controlling the System with the App

You can use the EcoFlow app to control the STREAM system. The app shows you how much power you are making and using. You can also change the settings to fit your needs.

In the app, you can choose how the system sends power. You can have it send power automatically or set it up yourself. You can also connect smart plugs and set limits on how much power the system sends.

The app lets you set the system to charge the batteries from the power grid. This can be useful if you want to store power when it is cheap.

The app also lets you connect other EcoFlow devices. This way, you can control all your EcoFlow products in one place.

A Special Feature: Power Outage Backup

The EcoFlow STREAM system has a special feature for power outages. If the power goes out, you can still use the system to power some of your appliances.

Normally, if the power goes out, you cannot charge the batteries. But the STREAM system can still charge the batteries during a power outage. It does this by using the microinverter to create a small power grid. The system can then use this power to charge the batteries.

Important: During a power outage, you cannot send power from the STREAM system back into the main power grid. But you can use the outlets on the STREAM units to power things like your refrigerator.

Is the EcoFlow STREAM Right for You?

The EcoFlow STREAM Balcony Power Station is a new way to use solar energy. It lets you store power and use it when and where you need it. With its ability to integrate with other systems and provide backup power, it’s a flexible solution for managing your energy use.
