Solar panels for the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max

It takes any panel between 11 V and 50 V through its XT60 input, up to 220 W, which refills it in about 2.3 hours of good sun. 26 of the 39 panels we track work; 3 don't.

Its input window, and where each panel lands

Each line is one panel's open-circuit voltage. Inside the band it can connect on its own; in the red, never plug it in.

The best solar panel for the RIVER 2 Max

Picked by the numbers on this station, not by brand.

Best overall

BLUETTI 350W Solar Panel (PV350)

One panel delivers 220 W, the most the input takes.

Best value

Eco-Worthy 200W Flexible HJT Solar Panel 18V ETFE 18BB (GW-L02AM200HJT2)

About $1.64 for every watt it actually delivers here. 2 panels deliver 220 W, the most the input takes.

Best to carry

Renogy 200W Portable Solar Panel Blanket (RPP200SB-SE)

144 W from a 8.82 lb panel, the most delivered watts per pound.

Other solar panels compatible with the RIVER 2 Max

Any brand, checked by the numbers: voltage on a -10°C morning, current, and the plug. Most delivered watts first.

Solar panels that won't work with the RIVER 2 Max

Already own a panel that isn't listed?

Type the numbers from the label on its back into the panel checker, already set to the RIVER 2 Max, or build the whole system to see how it keeps up where you live.

10 panels we track get no verdict because their makers don't publish an open-circuit voltage.

How long does the RIVER 2 Max take to charge on solar?

One 100 W panel delivers about 72 W in good sun and refills the 512 Wh battery from empty in about 7.1 hours.

One 200 W panel delivers about 144 W in good sun and refills the 512 Wh battery from empty in about 3.6 hours.

At its 220 W solar limit it refills in about 2.3 hours. More panel watts than that won't charge it any faster.

A day gives three to six hours of sun that good, depending on season and place, so one 100 W panel takes 2 to 3 days to fill it. The system builder works it out for your state and month.

What adapter does the RIVER 2 Max need for solar?

Every panel we track needs a cable to reach its XT60 input. None comes in the box.

The cables they need: MC4 to XT60 (10 panels), DC8020 to XT60 (4 panels), Anderson to XT60 (2 panels) and DC5521 to XT60 (2 panels).

8 panels don't have a named plug from their maker, so check the lead before you buy a cable.

Can you use non-EcoFlow solar panels with the RIVER 2 Max?

Yes. What decides it is the panel's voltage and plug, not the brand. 20 panels from Anker SOLIX, BLUETTI, Renogy, Eco-Worthy, Jackery and Rich Solar work with it, as long as the panel stays under 50 V on a cold morning and starts above 11 V.

The strongest single panels here are the Anker SOLIX 440W Rigid (220 W delivered) and the BLUETTI 350W (220 W delivered).

Can you connect two solar panels to the RIVER 2 Max?

Yes, joined into one input with a series or parallel cable.

Don't wire two BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible panels in series: together they would pass its 50 V limit. Parallel them instead.

Past 220 W delivered, more panels only help on cloudy days.

What is the RIVER 2 Max's solar input?

Solar Charging Input: 11–50 V, up to 13 A, 220 W.

Input limits from EcoFlow's documents, checked 2026-09-18 (source). Delivered watts assume 72% of the panel's rating in good sun.
