The microinverter converts their power into household electricity and feeds it into your home through a standard outlet. Your home uses that solar power first, so you draw less from the grid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy default the microinverter feeds in 360W. You can raise it up to 1,200W in the EcoFlow app when your circuit supports it - see Before you install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhich panels work with it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCheck any panel you plan to use against the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/ecoflow-service-us-prod.oss-us-west-1.aliyuncs.com\/cms\/upload\/1747018047862\/Online-EcoFlow%20STREAM%20Microinverter%20Safety%20Instructions_en%2Bes_V1.0_NA.pdf\" title=\"EcoFlow STREAM microinverter data sheet\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003emanufacturer's specifications\u003c\/a\u003e before connecting it: its voltage and current must fit the microinverter's input limits, and it needs MC4-compatible connectors. A panel's voltage rises in cold weather, so check its open-circuit voltage rating, not just its operating voltage. You can connect up to four panels, up to 1,200W in total, and two of the four inputs share one power tracker, so how panels are arranged across the inputs matters.

The maximum output power is 1200W, but it may be helpful to \"oversize\" your kit, such as using 4 x 440W panels, to get the most power from your setup. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I add a battery later?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.
