EcoFlow Stream 2: Successor to the decentralized plug-in solar solution delivers up to 5,000 W

Last year, EcoFlow introduced the Stream series, a balcony power plant storage solution that impressed us in our review and, thanks to its decentralized approach, can to some extent bypass the typical 800 W feed-in limitation. Now, the company is launching the Stream 2 series, which offers even greater performance

The new generation consists of the Stream 3000, Stream 5000, and Stream AC 5000, as well as expansion batteries with capacities of 3 kWh and 5 kWh. Depending on the model and local regulations, up to 3,000 W can be fed into the household grid. The EcoFlow Stream 5000 features four MPPT inputs rated at 1,250 W each, allowing it to accept up to 5,000 W of solar PV input and store the energy in its 5,024 Wh battery. In addition, the modular system can now be stacked vertically, reducing the footprint when multiple batteries are combined.

The second-generation Stream series is fully compatible with the newly introduced OASIS 3.0. This is the latest version of EcoFlow’s energy management platform, designed to automatically optimize energy consumption. To do so, it analyzes electricity tariffs, weather forecasts, household consumption patterns, and the status of connected devices.

Also new is the EcoFlow EcoBot. This AI-powered energy assistant is designed to enable natural-language interaction with the energy system. According to the manufacturer, users can adjust settings, modify energy plans, and perform other actions simply by speaking, without needing to access the app. As additional product announcements, EcoFlow has introduced a new 8 kWh battery for the Ocean 2 system, as well as the A-Series for commercial and industrial solar-plus-storage projects.
