Greetings, everyone!
This week brought some wild weather to Bucharest, with Cyclone Barbara hitting us on Wednesday.
Amid all that, my EcoFlow order finally arrived, featuring a 1 kWh portable battery. I went for the Delta 3, and I have to say, I’m genuinely impressed with the feature set. Thanks to a running promotion, I managed to grab it for €711.55.
While I couldn’t connect my solar panel to the battery (still waiting for an extra cable before I can do that), I’ve already used the battery as a backup power source during the storm and for a few tech experiments at home.
Here’s my current solar setup:
- Canadian Solar 610W N-type TOPCon Bifacial panel
- EcoFlow STREAM microinverter
- EcoFlow Delta 3 portable power station
Total investment: 904.72 EUR
Despite the gloomy weather, my system managed to generate 5.57 kWh in the first week, already saving me 1.75 EUR:
How cool is that? I’m genuinely amazed by how far solar tech has come, and how accessible it’s become for home use!

I hope everything is fine after the cyclone, and it looks like the solar power is working well for now. I hope you get that cable soon.
The battery is using an XT60i connector for DC input from a solar panel. I ordered one, but there's no hurry, as I use the inverter to inject it into the home socket.

Wow! I had no idea you were in Romania or that Europeans used the word cyclone.
Good luck with your solar.
It is a rare event here, but yes, we have it. In Romanian, we call it "ciclon".
Thanks a lot!
