EcoFlow NextGen 220W Bifacial

Choose the EcoFlow NextGen 220 W for car camping when you want more rated output than the 110 W panel without carrying the 35.3-pound EcoFlow 400 W.12

Why this one

  • Its 220 W nominal rating and approximate 15.4-pound weight balance panel capability with the load you carry from the car.1

Other contenders

For filling a power station fast

Match the panel to your station’s input limits and connectors; actual charging input also depends on sunlight and setup.12 Choose the EcoFlow 400 W when its 400 W nominal rating matters more than its 35.3-pound weight, compared with the NextGen 220 W’s 220 W rating.12

For carrying to camp or on your back

For a small USB device, the Nomad 20 supplies a USB connection in a 2.28-pound package; check that device’s charging requirements.3 Choose it for lighter carrying when its 20 W nominal rating fits your needs; the 8.8-pound EcoFlow 110 W offers a higher 110 W rating.23
