Temperature Corrected Voc Calculator
Introduction
The most common question asked in EcoFlow Facebook groups is
Will XXX solar panel work with my YYY EcoFlow solar generator?
followed by
How many solar panels can I have in series?
It is very straightforward to look up the solar panel output Voc and multiply by the number of panels to
determine if you will exceed the portable generator's solar input specifications. The problem with this quick calculation is
the Voc increases as temperatures drop. The National Electrical Code® Handbook Fourteenth Edition
can give a conservative estimate for the Voc increase, but the best, most precise method of calculating
this is to look up the Voc and thermal coefficients from the solar panel manufacturer's specification sheet or owners manual and
enter them into the calculator below. Use the presets if you have EcoFlow solar panels.
