Key Features of the STREAM Series: Redefining Balcony Power Plants

Minimum Energy Bills with AI-Powered Solar Network

Traditional balcony power plants face significant limitations in efficiency and convenience. Regulatory constraints restrict these systems to a maximum output of 800W to the home grid, preventing them from independently powering high-wattage appliances with solar energy. While some manufacturers address this limitation by enabling direct battery-to-appliance connections, this solution requires users to manually disconnect and replace depleted batteries—a process that is both inconvenient and disruptive. Furthermore, when a battery runs out, connected appliances often revert to grid power automatically, negating the intended savings and leading to continued electricity expenses. As a result, users encounter frequent interruptions and complexity, failing to fully realize the benefits of balcony power plants.

EcoFlow’s STREAM Series completely transforms the experience of using balcony power plants by introducing the AI-Powered Solar Network. This intelligent system eliminates the need for manual intervention by automatically coordinating multiple batteries throughout the home. All batteries, regardless of where they are placed, contribute power simultaneously, ensuring extended runtimes for high-wattage appliances and reducing reliance on the grid. With flexible battery placement and plug-and-play convenience, users benefit from a simplified, efficient setup that guarantees hassle-free energy management. By intelligently automating energy flow and storage, this innovative technology helps households pave the way toward achieving zero electricity bills.

2300W Dual-Mode Bypass AC Output: Power 99% of Appliances with Solar

The STREAM Series introduces 2300W Dual-Mode Bypass AC Output, allowing users to power 99% of household appliances with solar energy. The system seamlessly channels solar power into the home grid while simultaneously powering appliances through two independent AC outputs. This innovation ensures that both low-wattage essentials, like laptops, and high-wattage equipment, such as air conditioners, can operate without reliance on grid energy. Whether appliances are powered through direct bypass or grid integration, solar energy adapts intelligently to meet the demands of the household, delivering an unparalleled level of flexibility and efficiency.

2800W Dual-Mode PV Input for Efficient Solar Harvesting

The STREAM Series features industry-leading dual-mode photovoltaic (PV) input capabilities, ensuring maximum solar energy harvesting for all types of households. The STREAM Ultra supports up to 2800W Dual-Mode PV Input, combining 2000W of solar input with an additional 800W from the microinverter. The STREAM Pro delivers up to 2300W PV Input, making both models incredibly efficient for a range of setups, whether for small apartments or larger homes.

EcoFlow App with Advanced AI Features*

The EcoFlow app adds a layer of intelligence and control to energy management with its advanced AI-powered features. The AI-TOU (Dynamic Electricity Tariff) helps reduce electricity costs by automatically charging batteries during off-peak hours and switching to stored power during peak periods. With AI Power Prediction, the system forecasts energy generation and consumption with 94% accuracy, allowing users to make informed decisions about their home energy usage. Moreover, the Adaptive Energy Architect continuously analyzes energy habits to improve system efficiency over time. The STREAM Series also offers seamless integration with EcoFlow’s ecosystem and other third-party platforms like Shelly, Tibber, Nord Pool, and Epex Spot, enabling a comprehensive smart home energy experience.

*Subscription is needed to use the AI functions in the EcoFlow App.

Plug and Play Convenience

Designed for simplicity, the STREAM Series requires no drilling or complex installation. With plug-and-play technology, users can simply connect the system to a standard power socket and start generating and storing energy immediately. This user-friendly approach ensures that anyone—regardless of technical expertise—can benefit from clean and renewable energy.

Compact Solar Design and Built-in Safety

The STREAM Series features a sleek, compact design that is 40% smaller than traditional systems, making it ideal for homes with limited space. Despite its size, its performance is uncompromising. The system includes built-in safety features such as over-current protection, IP65 water resistance, and ultra-quiet operation at just 30dB, ensuring safe and reliable operation in any environment.
