Is there a working alternative to the Ecoflow folding solar panel?

[Rade]

Hello!

I have an Ecoflow Delta Max and external battery that I am using to provide power to a utility shed in the back of our property. It does an okay job providing energy to an LED light fixture and enough to occasionally use basic power tools when needed.

I also have the Ecoflow 4-panel portable folding solar panel that is "supposed" to be mountable, but in all honesty, the panel is flimsy. I've had it installed on the back of the utility shed and the grommets on the panels are already showing stress. It generates a max of about 107kV of recharge power which is enough to recover whatever power is consumed by the LED light.

Net: The panel is really not designed for long-term usage. I expect the panel to fully fail within a year.

Can anyone recommend a more... sound... replacement for that panel?

Thanks!

Unfortunately that panel is made for easy transport and not permanent mounting.

Maybe some type of fixed panel with the same wattage and a rigid frame.

Agreed. Will keep researching. Just seeing if anyone has gone down this road before. Thanks!

I was able to build a more substantial mount for the EcoFlow solar panel that even is slightly angled to grab more available sunlight. It seems to be working for now (I've inspected the rig a few times since installing it).

Sidebar note: The EcoFlow batteries really do NOT like being below freezing. Interesting since all of the marketing I've seen has them out "...in the wilderness!", doing wildernessy things like cabins and campers. Don't entirely think so. Not something you would want to use in your ice fishing shack. Mine stopped taking a charge when the woodshed dropped into the 20's.

Batteries are like that. Most do not like low temperatures.
