Decentralized balcony power plant system avoids 800 W limit: EcoFlow Str...
With Stream, EcoFlow offers a complex and versatile configurable balcony power plant system that offers more options than other solutions thanks to its decentralized approach. To a certain extent, the 800 W limit for the supply of household appliances can be circumvented, although you are still subject to legal restrictions in Europe. A practical feature is the now common option of linking to a dynamic electricity tariff, which further increases the savings potential in addition to harvesting your own electricity from up to 2,000 Wp solar panels. However, the efficiency losses should definitely be kept in mind here, but this also applies to other manufacturers. The fact that EcoFlow sells some of the features as a subscription is annoying, but understandable from the manufacturer's point of view. Overall, EcoFlow Stream is an exciting alternative for anyone who not only wants to have a balcony power station system in the garden or on the balcony, but can also live with batteries in the house. Appliances anywhere in the home can then be supplied with up to 2,300 W via self-generated solar energy. No other system can do this.
