EcoFlow announces PowerStream update and teases new storage solution

Firstly, EcoFlow is pushing Solar DualCharge technology to its PowerStream balcony solar system through a firmware update. The new feature increases the possible solar yield up to three times by enabling simultaneous charging via the power station and the microinverter. In turn, this extra solar-generated electricity should further reduce customer’s energy bills. Presumably, the firmware update is available via the EcoFlow app.

In another announcement for the German market, EcoFlow says it plans to upgrade the microinverter’s AC output limit from 600W to 800W; the higher level is already available in other European countries. However, the company is waiting for new regulations to be brought in by the government before proceeding with this enhancement. Anker and Zendure have also made similar announcements.

Plus, EcoFlow has teased a weatherproof portable power station. The PowerStream kit currently contains the DELTA Max (2 kWh), which should be stored indoors. The new model is supposedly rated as IP54 water and dust-resistant, meaning it can withstand some dust and rain. A built-in heater will also increase the range of cold temperatures in which the device will continue to work. Further details, such as the battery capacity, have yet to be unveiled. The new EcoFlow weatherproof portable power station is expected to launch this March, with pricing to be confirmed.
