Solar Generator | EcoFlow South Africa

Solar Generators

A solar generator combines one or more solar panels and a solar battery. It captures and stores the sun’s energy, which is converted by an inverter from DC to AC to power a variety of appliances or home loads.

EcoFlow Solar Generators

EcoFlow solar generators are an extensive range of diverse solar panels paired with iconic EcoFlow power stations sporting 256Wh to 7200Wh capacities. With the top-ranking IP68 weatherproof rating and unrivaled 23% solar conversion, it secures a limitless power supply for protection against power failure, off-grid self-sustaining, outdoor activities, and more.

How Does a Solar Generator Work?

After collecting and storing DC (direct current) energy, the solar generator converts DC into AC (alternating current) electricity that can power appliances both indoors and out.

Hear from Our Users

The EcoFlow Delta 2 MAX is a gamechanger for our family. When loadshedding strikes we can run most of our household appliances from our power station; the washing machine, dish washer and so on. With the EcoFlow 400 watt rigid solar panels we don't have to wait for the power to come back on to charge our power station. It is light enough to carry around the garden, yet strong enough to mount on the roof of our dream home one day, and so efficient they even charge the power station on cloudy days.

-Nick le Rock

With a 2 River Pro's and a River coupled with a pair of 100w solar panels, life has been such a breeze during power outages. Saving power during the day, all energy on during the night. We hardly feel the effects of loadshedding anymore. Can't wait for my next EcoFlow unit.

-Renier Conradie

My home is “Eskom proof” thanks to my Delta 2. There is no more stressing about power outages. I can connect my 400w panels to it and it keeps my house powered for days. Ecoflow saved me thousands of rands on food by powering my two fully stocked fridges during a 5 day power outage.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does a solar generator work?

A solar generator works by storing electricity generated by the attached solar panels, which absorb sunlight and convert it into direct current (DC). As long as they have exposure to sunlight, the panels can generate energy, which you can use to power your devices and appliances. A common misconception is that solar generators require direct sunlight to operate, but they can still absorb light even on cloudy days.

What size solar generator should I get?

When people talk about the ‘size’ of a solar generator, they generally mean its power capacity. The capacity is most often measured via their wattage. A good rule of thumb is to purchase a generator with almost double the capacity you need to ensure you have sufficient power even during a prolonged blackout.

How many years will a solar generator last?

Depending on the brand and the quality of the battery, you can expect a solar generator to last years. For example, the EcoFlow DELTA Pro uses a state-of-the-art LFP battery, which will last for 6500 cycles before reaching 50% of its original capacity. A battery management system helps prolong the device's lifespan for a lasting, cost-effective solution.

What devices and appliances can you run with a solar generator?

The devices and appliances you can run depend on the generator’s capacity. Lower wattage generators like the portable EcoFlow RIVER with a 288Wh capacity can power your smaller devices, such as laptops and smartphones. To power larger appliances, like a refrigerator, you will need a higher capacity generator like the DELTA Pro, which has a starting capacity of 3.6kWh that you can expand up to 25kWh.

Are solar generators safe?

Yes, solar generators are safe, especially compared to traditional fossil fuel generators. They don't emit harmful fumes or use flammable materials to create power. They use solar panels to absorb sunlight and convert it into energy. The power is stored in a state-of-the-art battery until you need it to charge or operate your chosen devices. There is no concern about blown fuses from power surges either. If a solar generator doesn't have the necessary wattage, it won't power the device.

Are solar generators worth it?

If staying connected and saving money are essential to you, solar generators are absolutely worth it. They provide a safe, renewable way to keep your devices and appliances going when you need them most, whether during a blackout, going off-grid, or traveling to remote locations. Since they don’t rely on grid power, they also reduce your utility costs. Solar generators are clean, efficient, and versatile, which helps explain their growing popularity. Solar generators are also a practical way for you to reduce your carbon footprint, as they use 100% renewable green energy that produces no CO2 emissions.

What are the major differences between a solar generator and a gas generator?

Gas generators operate on fuel, are loud, can’t be used indoors, and require ongoing maintenance. EcoFlow solar generators bundles are clean, require no maintenance, and don’t incur ongoing costs. In addition, you can safely use an EcoFlow portable power station indoors.

What can you run on a solar generator?

EcoFlow DELTA solar generator bundles are designed to keep your devices running for hours on end. Take a DELTA Max solar generator bundle for example, you can power a 60W fridge for up to 33 hours. You can keep most of your essential devices like laptops, smartphones, and small appliances running throughout the day.

Are solar generators safe?

EcoFlow solar generator bundles contain our industry-leading portable power stations, which come with an advanced battery management system that regulates voltage, temperature, and current in real time. This gives you a safe, reliable battery that you can use for years on end.

Are solar generator bundles worth it?

Not only do EcoFlow solar generator bundles provide you with clean energy, they’re also a great source of backup power. And they’re portable too. This means you can continue to power doing what you love most without all the hassle of a gas generator.
