Ready to get serious about solar power but stay portable?
EcoFlow RIVER 2 Pro + 220W Bifacial Solar Panel ensures that you make the most of the available sunlight, even on cloudy days.
With its innovative design, the bifacial solar panel transforms sunshine into electricity — on the front and the back.
Most solar panels and other photovoltaic (PV) modules are one-sided.
The solar cells are only on the front of the panel, and the back offers protection from the elements and physical wear and tear.
EcoFlow’s 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel features highly efficient pure monocrystalline silicon PV cells on both the back and front of the unit.
You can generate a surprising amount of off-grid electricity from ambient sunlight — especially on reflective surfaces.
With 220W of rated power on the front and 155W on the back, you can capture 15% more solar energy on snow and 25% more on a mirrored surface.
Face the front of the panel into direct sunlight, and let the back maximize your electricity production potential — especially during the cold winter months.
Solar panels operate best in peak sunlight — and there’s less of it in winter.
Both sides offer industry-leading solar panel efficiency of 23% — meaning you can generate more power while taking up less space than cheaper polycrystalline and thin film PV modules.
By capturing more ambient sunlight, bifacial solar panels can help provide enough power, even on cold, cloudy days.

How To Choose the Best Quiet Generator for Camping
The first thing most people look at when shopping for a generator is how much power it will output and how long it will run.
Both are essential considerations, but since you’re looking for peace and quiet to go with your off-grid power solutions, let’s start with noise.
(Source: Hearing Health Foundation)
What Are Decibels (dB) and How Do You Measure Noise?
If you’re making a purchase decision based on how quiet (or LOUD!) a machine is, having a basic understanding of decibels (dB) is essential.
Sound is far less tangible than dimensions or weight, but we can still measure the volume of noise anything creates.
As you likely know, sound travels in waves.
There are two ways to measure sound.
- Frequency is measured in Hertz (Hz). The definition is simple, but what it measures is extraordinary.
1 Hz = 1 Event per Second
In the real world, the equation for Hertz is used to measure the frequency of cycles or vibrations in a soundwave.
That’s why we typically refer to sound as being low (bass), middle (midrange), or high frequency (treble).
Most people can hear (or feel) sound with a frequency of 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz, with 20 being the lowest rumble and 20,000 being the highest “tweet.”
If you’re familiar with audio speakers, you’ll know that the very lowest frequencies come from the subwoofer, and the keenest pitch comes from the tweeters.
People speaking falls into the range of 100 and 8,000 Hz.
The frequency of an internal combustion engine — like those found in conventional vehicles and gas generators — falls is concentrated in the 100 ~ 400 Hz range. You will hear — and feel — it as a deep, low-frequency rumble.
- Amplitude is the more crucial metric to consider when shopping for a quiet generator.
Amplitude measures the pressure of sound — more commonly known as the “volume” — or how loud a noise is.
As shown above, the sound level is recorded on the decibel (dB) scale.
It’s essential to understand that decibel levels increase or decrease exponentially.
Most common measurements like weight and dimensions are measured in increments — e.g., 110 kg is 10% heavier than 100kg.
Decibels increase by factors of 10. For example, an increase from 50 to 60 dB means the sound is 10x louder. Bump that up to 70dB, and it’s 100x louder!
Keep in mind that anything over 70dB is considered harmful to human hearing over time.
Now that you have a fundamental understanding of how noise levels are measured consider that traditional gas generators operate at 80db ~ 100db — well over the safety threshold.
Not only is a noise level of 100dB detrimental to your health, it means that conventional fossil fuel generators are frequently banned from campgrounds and RV parks.
Even if you’re permitted to operate one, it’s likely to be during restricted hours.
Inverter generators — particularly closed frame models — are less noisy, especially when not running at full throttle.
In fact, one of the primary benefits of inverter generators is that they can operate more efficiently under less than maximum loads.
Conventional gas, propane, and diesel generators only run at one speed – full.
Inverters throttle up and down based on your electricity consumption and produce less noise under light to medium loads.
High-quality gas and propane inverter generators can operate at about ~75dB – roughly equivalent to the sound of a lawnmower or leafblower outside your home.
EcoFlow’s solar generators charge as quietly as 30dB and can operate at under 50dB under maximum load.
That’s as quiet as a whisper and as loud as average room noise.
With an EcoFlow portable power station, you’ll never have to worry if your generator is too noisy ever again.
What is the Electricity Output in Watts?
Even the quietest generator won’t do you any good if it doesn’t charge or operate the devices and appliances you want it to run.
Take a detailed inventory of everything you want to off-grid simultaneously and add up the starting and running watts.
The AC output of your generator should exceed the combined wattage by at least 15%.
Because it’s rarely an issue with on-grid electricity, many people aren’t familiar with the difference between starting and running watts.
Many high-wattage appliances — particularly anything with a motor, like fridges, washers, and HVAC units — require much more power to start than to run.
You may have had a circuit breaker trip due to this, but if a generator doesn’t have enough surge power to turn on an appliance, you won’t be able to use it.
Gas and inverter generators can typically only provide an additional ~100W above their maximum AC output — or, at best, 10% more than the total.
Consequently, a 2000W gas generator typically has a maximum starting wattage of less than 2200W.
Alternatively, the EcoFlow DELTA Max 2 offers 2400W AC output and 4800W surge power.
That means you have double the continuous output of your solar generator available to get your gear up and running.
Not only that, thanks to X-Boost technology, EcoFlow DELTA 2 Max can run appliances of up to 3400W total rated wattage simultaneously.
No gas or inverter generator can offer that kind of performance.
What is the Storage Capacity (Watt-Hours/KiloWatt-hours)?
Electricity storage capacity is of particular significance for any off-grid power source or generator that uses clean, renewable energy.
All sustainable sources of electricity — like solar, wind, and hydropower — are intermittent.
Solar panels don’t work at night.
Wind turbines don’t generate electricity unless the rotors are moving.
All off-grid and hybrid photovoltaic systems that generate electricity rely on solar batteries to store and output power when your consumption exceeds production.
Grid-tied solar panel systems don’t require batteries, but they won’t do you any good camping — and they shut down automatically during a blackout.
For off-grid and home backup applications, battery storage is essential.
Estimate your total electricity consumption in kilowatt-hours between charges to ensure you have enough power to keep you up and running as long as you need.
Remember, EcoFlow’s portable power stations all have multiple recharging options, not just solar panels.
Another crucial factor is solar battery chemistry.
The LFP batteries used in EcoFlow’s products last much longer and outperform traditional lithium-ion and (especially) lead-acid and VRLA deep-cycle batteries.
Fossil fuel generators don’t rely on batteries — except perhaps to start.
Instead, assess storage capacity by the size of the fuel tank, your total electricity consumption, and your access to fuel.
Gas generators are far more prone to mechanical failure than solar, but they should keep running as long as you have enough fuel — and you don’t mind paying for it.
Portability
What type of camping do you do most frequently?
If you do a lot of hiking or wild camping, you don’t want your generator to weigh you down…
If you mostly camp close to your car or in an RV, weight won’t be as much of a concern, but the dimensions might be.
Unless you’re driving a Class-A motorhome, both size and weight are likely to be important considerations.
Balance portability with your off-grid electricity needs.
Is It Safe for Indoor Use?
No gasoline, propane, diesel, inverter — or any generator that burns fossil fuels — can be safely used indoors.
Inverter generators often claim to provide “cleaner” power — but that’s a reference to fuel efficiency and total harmonic distortion (THD).
When people say that conventional gas portable generators output “dirty power,” they’re usually referring to the variations and surges in the electrical waveform due to how an internal combustion engine and alternator genset produce AC electricity.
Because the THD level is so high, portable gas generators are not suitable for sensitive electronics.
Usually, that refers to computers and hard drives, but virtually all modern devices include microprocessors and other sensitive electronics.
Even the “cleanest” gas or inverter generator produces poisonous carbon monoxide and other deadly emissions — under no circumstances can they be used indoors or in any confined space, such as a tent or RV.
Gas generators kill or poison thousands of people every year.
EcoFlow’s portable power stations and solar generators are 100% safe for quiet indoor use.
No toxic fumes, poisonous chemicals, or greenhouse gases are produced.
If you want the flexibility of generating off-grid electricity with gas and propane, consider a hybrid inverter generator solution.
EcoFlow’s DELTA Pro + Smart Generator hybrid inverter gives you all of the convenience of refuelling with gas and LPG with none of the downsides.
Recharge the Smart Generator outdoors and use EcoFlow DELTA Pro in your RV, tent, or home safely and quietly — any time, day or night.
Frequently Asked Questions
Inverters are the quietest gas, propane, or diesel generators and typically produce about 70dB of operating noise. All conventional internal combustion engine and alternator gensets that burn fossil fuel make up to 100dB of noise or more. Solar generators don’t rely on an engine and can be as quiet as 30dB, the sound level of a whisper or a rustling leaf.
Inverters are the quietest generators that use gas, propane, or diesel but they’re at least 100 times louder than solar generators. Unlike any generator that burns fossil fuels, solar generators don’t require an internal combustion engine and have very few moving parts. Not only that, you can use them indoors safely and quietly.
Final Thoughts
A quiet generator can make all the difference in creating a peaceful and enjoyable experience for you and your fellow campers.
In addition to carefully considering the decibel level of your camping generator options, consider all the factors mentioned above to find the ideal solution for your off-grid adventures.
EcoFlow’s hybrid inverter and solar generators can provide all the quiet off-grid electricity you need.
