Compensation policies may vary by region. You should contact your local grid operator using the contact information provided on your electricity bill to inquire.

Can I receive compensation for excess power fed into the grid by the STREAM system?

1. The STREAM Series is an all-in-one system combining a microinverter and battery. PowerStream, on the other hand, is a microinverter that requires a separate purchase of a Portable Power Station to store excess solar energy or to supplement power.
2. STREAM Series supports up to 2000W solar input and 1200W inverter output. PowerStream supports only 800W for both solar input and inverter output.
3. STREAM Series offers greater scalability—up to 6 units can be connected, with both wired and wireless energy balancing. PowerStream supports only one Portable Power Station.
4. STREAM Series supports a bypass output of up to 2300W, which can be powered entirely by solar energy—enough to run a large appliance like a washing machine using just solar power.
5. The STREAM system integrates with more EcoFlow ecosystem products and features an upgraded AI-powered app with smart modes like AI TOU scheduling and solar generation forecasting.

What’s the difference between the EcoFlow STREAM Series and EcoFlow PowerStream?

All devices must be connected to the same network and added to the same “Space” within the EcoFlow app.

What is required to enable energy balancing between multiple STREAM Series units?

To access the full functionality of the STREAM Series, a connection to Wi-Fi and the EcoFlow app is required. Bluetooth or LAN-only connections will not support features like remote control or historical data tracking.

Does the STREAM Series need to be connected to Wi-Fi and the EcoFlow app?

Yes, a temperature rise during use is normal and does not affect the product’s lifespan. The unit has passed rigorous testing and includes overheat protection. For best performance, install it out of direct sunlight with at least 3 cm clearance from walls or objects, and away from flammable materials.

Is it normal for the product to heat up during use?

The STREAM Series has an IP65 protection rating, suitable for indoor or outdoor use. It is recommended to install it in a cool, shaded, and ventilated area.

Is STREAM Series waterproof and dustproof?

The system can be self-installed and maintained. However, in the UK, local regulations require the EcoFlow STREAM DIY Cable to be wired into the distribution board, which must be done by a certified installer or electrician.

Can I install the STREAM Series by myself?

This is not recommended, as malfunctioning devices on the power strip could damage the STREAM Series.

Can the EcoFlow STREAM AC Cable be plugged into a power strip?

No, the AC cable is not extendable. If you need a longer cable, EcoFlow offers 5 m and 15 m AC cables for separate purchase.

Can I extend the EcoFlow STREAM AC Cable?

You can view real-time energy generation statistics on the EcoFlow app.

How can I monitor the power generation and consumption of the STREAM Series products in real-time?

If you disable the feed-in protection switch in the EcoFlow app, the excess solar power will be fed into the grid.

Will the excess power generated by the STREAM system be fed into the grid?

For better heat dissipation and device longevity, it must be placed upright.

Can the STREAM Series be laid flat or inverted?

The system prioritizes solar energy. When solar generation falls short of the power demand, the battery automatically steps in to make up the difference. If there’s still a shortfall, the grid supplies the remaining power.
When solar output exceeds consumption, the excess energy is first stored in the battery. Any additional surplus can be exported to the grid, depending on your settings and in compliance with local regulations.

How does the STREAM system work?

For safety and compliance reasons, the STREAM system will automatically detect a grid anomaly and stop feeding current into the grid during a power outage. You can then plug in your appliances directly into the AC outlets to use internal battery or solar power.

How does the system continue to supply power during a blackout?

As long as the panels meet the input range for the PV port and use the same type of connector, they can be used. Each PV port’s input range is: operating voltage 15-60V, operating current ≤14A.

Can third-party solar panels be used with the STREAM Series?

Due to regulatory limits, it is recommended to connect no more than one microinverter.

How many microinverters can the STREAM Series support? Can third-party microinverters be used?

Yes, as long as the solar panel meets the conditions of operating voltage (15-60V) and operating current (≤14A). This can optimize solar utilization during low sunlight conditions.

Each MPPT of the STREAM Ultra/Pro has a maximum power of 500W. Can I connect solar panels with more than 500W to each port?

Not necessarily. It might prioritize using one device's power or discharge multiple devices simultaneously. The system employs an intelligent charging and discharging strategy based on the current power levels of the devices, the power consumption of the appliances, the actual connection setup, and your settings in the app. Thus, the discharging performance of specific devices may vary.

If there are multiple devices in the STREAM system, will it prioritize using up one device's power before starting to use another's?

The AI TOU feature means that the EcoFlow app will use dynamic electricity price data from the local power company to perform smart charge and discharge strategies based on peak and off-peak pricing, maximizing your electricity bill savings. This feature requires a subscription.
*An AI TOU strategy will only be generated when the price difference between peak and off-peak is substantial enough because charging and discharging involve losses. If the economic benefits are less than the battery loss, charging and discharging will not take place.

What does the AI TOU feature of the STREAM Series refer to?

Yes, it supports connecting STREAM Series to most Microinverters on the market through the AC outlets.
