Just got my first solar generator which I have been thinking about for a few years.
I got the Ecoflow River Max, I know there are better ones, but this suits me. Keep my small CFX 25Lt fridge powered while I sleep on trecks out in the bush. And to keep my three drones charged, the wonderful Mavic Mini 2, the fun as hell DJI FPV and the brilliant camera on the Mavic Air 2s.
Had the river a few days of testing and great to date. It’s been pulling up to 130 Watts. Bit low really thought it could get to the 200 max.
Today I moved the 2 Ecoflow 110 panels to face the sun and the input dropped to 40-50 Watts. Watts going on?
Rebooted everything, checked the connections. All I can think of is the heat, the panels are in a 36 in the sun and maybe 60c in the bright Australia sun.
I have the River unit in my house and its 40c so I engage the fan, keeps it cooler.
Any ideas for an old fart, new to solar generators?
Thank you in advance.
