Compared with the previous generation EF balcony energy storage system, the STREAM 5000 has obvious upgrades in the following aspects: 1. Larger capacity: The single unit capacity is 5024Wh, which is several times that of the previous generation. It supports parallel expansion of up to 2 Expansion Batteries, which can expand the host capacity to 15KWh; a maximum of six hosts can be connected in one system, with a maximum capacity of up to 90KWh; 3. Higher grid-connected output: The maximum grid-connected output of a single STREAM 5000 is 3000W, while the single STREAM AC 5000 is 2500W, which can reach 3000W when paired with an Expansion Battery; 4. Sufficient off-grid power: The AC Outlet has a maximum output of 3600W, meeting the needs of high-power electrical appliances; 5. Flexible expansion: Supports stack expansion, a single host can be stacked with 2 Expansion Batteries, with strong expandability; 6. Improved intelligence: Supports intelligent functions such as Intelligent mode and Peak Shaving, making energy management more worry-free.
Local Mode is an optional connection method (this function requires a smart meter): When enabled, the App and the device communicate only through the home local area network, the system operates for self-use, and can access ecological accessories and meters that support local access. Data is not uploaded to the cloud and remains completely local, better protecting your privacy and data security.
Currently compatible with EcoFlow Smart Meter, EcoFlow&Shelly Smart Meter (EU&UK)
The STREAM 5000 does not support working with Power Stream in the same system. - STREAM 5000 and Power Stream belong to product series with different positioning, adopting different energy management logics and communication protocols; - Currently, they cannot be added to the same system in the EF App for unified management; However, Power Stream can be used as a third-party inverter, directly connected to AC OUTLET or home circuit, prioritizing power supply to loads, with any excess supplied to the battery and then fed back to the grid.
Third-party inverters can be directly connected to the AC OUTLET of STREAM 5000 / STREAM AC 5000 (when connecting to the AC Outlet, the output power of the third-party inverter must not exceed 3680W), or directly connected to the home circuit. The energy distribution logic between the third-party inverter and Ecoflow STREAM 5000 / STREAM AC 5000 is as follows: First priority: Supply home loads Second priority: Charge the battery Third priority: Feed excess energy into the grid Note: In off-grid situations, the third-party inverter is directly connected to the AC OUTLET. If the output power of the third-party inverter exceeds 3000W, the input of the third-party inverter will be stopped.
STREAM 5000 is a balcony energy storage all-in-one system, which consists of solar panels, STREAM 500 host (including battery and grid-tied inverter), and EF App. Working principle: By linking with the smart meter, during the day, the solar panels convert light energy into electrical energy, part of which is directly supplied to household loads, and part is stored in the battery for backup; at night or on cloudy days, the energy stored in the battery is released for household use, and excess electricity can be output to the grid. The system can be remotely monitored and set through the EF App, supporting multiple modes such as self-consumption, Intelligent mode, and custom mode, as well as multiple functions such as Peak Shaving and Local Mode, helping users maximize the use of solar energy and reduce electricity bills.
The Intelligent mode combines future weather forecasts, user electricity consumption habits, equipment status, dynamic electricity prices, or time-of-use electricity prices, and automatically achieves the minimum cost of electricity through the strategy of discharging at high prices and charging at low prices; the main advantages of this mode are: - Users with dynamic electricity prices can automatically achieve the minimum cost of electricity without changing their own electricity consumption habits; - For users with time-of-use electricity prices, compared with time-based custom tasks, the intelligent mode will automatically formulate corresponding charging and discharging tasks based on weather forecasts and considering the future PV power generation level.
During peak electricity usage hours, when the household draws power from the grid exceeding the set power limit, the system will automatically use battery discharge to compensate based on the set peak-shaving SOC, thereby reducing the peak power drawn from the grid. It can work collaboratively in operating modes such as self-consumption and AI mode without the need for separate mode switching.
Cost-saving: In areas where billing is based on peak power or capacity, reducing monthly/annual peaks may lower capacity fees and costs related to contracted power. More peace of mind: During peak concurrent electricity use (e.g., simultaneous operation of EV charging, heat pumps, and ovens), it reduces the power draw pressure on the main circuit and lowers the risk of tripping due to excessively high peaks. More flexibility: It allows expansion of home electrification without upgrading the grid contract or modifying home electrical distribution. More convenience: It operates automatically after setting the power limit and time period, eliminating the need for frequent manual intervention.
When there is a power outage, the STREAM 5000 will immediately switch to off-grid mode, the grid-connected port will stop outputting, and the device will supply power to the loads connected to the AC Outlet. Prerequisites: 1. There must be sufficient remaining power in the battery; 2. The load needs to be connected to the AC Outlet of the STREAM 5000. Notes: - The grid-connected port will disconnect immediately upon detecting a grid power outage and cannot be used for off-grid power supply; - Do not connect the AC Outlet of the STREAM 5000 to the power grid; - The actual available duration depends on the load power, remaining battery power, and photovoltaic power. If the area where you live frequently experiences power outages, it is recommended to keep the battery fully charged to enable seamless switching to backup power in the event of a power outage.
STREAM 5000/STREAM 5000 grid-connected output initially uses plug-and-play installation by default, and the device will automatically limit the system's grid-connected output power to the grid-connected power limit specified by the regulations in your region. If you are in Germany, you need to register for plug-and-play on the MaStR portal.
