What it can run, and for how long
A power station is a battery with an inverter: it stores energy as watt-hours (Wh) and delivers it as AC watts (W). The EcoFlow DELTA 3 Classic Portable Power Station (1024Wh) stores 1,024 Wh, of which about 870 Wh reaches your appliances after losses, and its inverter limits the load to 1,800 W at a time.

Recharging
Recharge time depends on the source. Solar numbers below are our calculation for the panel wattage shown, assuming 75% real-world output and the approximate annual-average peak sun hours for each region; winter and cloud cover cut them sharply.
| Panel total | Basis | Florida and the Gulf Coast | Texas | California |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 100 W | — | 2.6 sunny days | 2.7 sunny days | 2.5 sunny days |
| 200 W | — | 1.3 sunny days | 1.4 sunny days | 1.2 sunny days |
| 400 W | — | 0.7 sunny days | 0.7 sunny days | 0.6 sunny days |
- AC wall charging up to 1,400 W (as stated) — about 0.7 h from empty at that rate before losses
See the solar recharge calculator for your own panel size and sun hours.
Connecting it to a home
You can plug appliances straight into the unit's outlets. Powering a home's circuits is different: it needs a properly rated transfer switch or the maker's home-integration hardware, installed by a licensed electrician.
If you plan to connect it to the house, compare it with the equipment in our transfer switch and hookup library and read the whole-house guide.
