Correction and Update: Sorry for the delay as I have mobility issues. When I first posted I had mentioned an xt60i cable attached to the Ecoflow Delta 2 (EFD2), it was an xt60. I tested all MC4 connectors, as one poster suggested, @Checkthisout, THANKS. Also tested each panel for Ecoflow...

I do and can crimp. Can you please assist with a diagram to make

Will do. Thanks.

Panels are stationary as this is my first winter for the panel movement location. I chose area with full sun, 3-4 hrs. The summer panel location gives me 4-5 hours of full sun. I'll only be moving them twice a year. Tree crown cutting may be in my future though. Appriciate the feed back.

I let the batteries go down to 18% so I could test the panels. Same result. They run the fridge and small freezer for almost two days on a full charge. Thanks.

No luck. The unit still does not provide sufficient solar input watts. Each panel was tested and displayed between 20.5 and 22. 4 VOC for a total of approximately 86 VOC. The panels are rated for 24 VOC each. The panels are connected in series-parallel (2S2P) with a 15 amp fuse producing 43.79...

Thanks for the input. All wires and MC4's are solar-rated. On the ground, yes however no recent rain after moving panels. I did make one end myself. I switched out the 12 AWG extension cable for an 8 AWG and tested each panel (20.5-22.4 voc). I will be attaching panels as per the above diagram...

Trial and error. I have to move the panels for the winter due to the sun going further south in sky. I could have the tree crowns cut back but that costs $$$$$. I did get the heavier guage wire though. Thanks.

Can you provide a diagram - 2S2P or 2P2S so I don't mess this up? The additional items needed arrived and will begin testing each panel and wiring today. Thank you all.

Thanks for this idea. It states it can handle up to 60 volts. Now looking for a good series diagram.

Will do. I'll unplug the ecoflow delta 2 and check all mc4 connections including each panel. Appriciate your feed back.

Sorry for that, still learning. Partial shade, then in full sun it remained the same. I will follw your recomendation and follow up, thanks. If I may: what is a

@mikefitz , If may chime in. I've been informed that placing panels in series/parallel, although one panel may have shade you still get some output from the others, correct? I have four and a tree crown issue which will cost $$$$ to have them trimmed for the winter months. YUK!

I currently have 4/100 watt Renogy panels using the ecoflow D2 in series/parallel-running 24/7-} a full size fridge and a small freezer. I was getting approx 310 watts input with the unit @20 ft with a 10awg xt60i cable and a 20 ft 12awg extension with mc4's. The volts drop where 1.69%. I've...
