Will the Jackery SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) work with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes. One Jackery SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) works with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500: about 26.9 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 200 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on Solar input), about 220 W.
Works
1 x SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) into the RIVER 2 Max 500 (1 panel on Solar input) stays inside 11 to 50 V and under 13 A, even at 20F.
- Check the station's manual for the right solar cable.

| Wiring | Input | Volts at 20F | Amps | Watts | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 panels in parallel on Solar input The panels can push 20A but this input takes 13A, so the station caps it. Safe, you just lose some watts. | Solar input | 26.9 | 20 | 220 | Works |
| 2 panels in series on Solar input Fine in mild weather (49.6V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 53.8V, above the 50V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage. | Solar input | 53.8 | 10 | 220 | Works, with a catch |
Quick answers
Will the Jackery SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) work with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes. One Jackery SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) works with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500: about 26.9 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 200 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on Solar input), about 220 W.
Can I connect two SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) panels to the RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on Solar input. That gives about 220 W.
What cable do I need to connect the SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) to the RIVER 2 Max 500?
Check the station's manual for the right solar cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One SolarSaga 200 (JS-200D) goes from 24.8 V on its label to about 26.9 V at 20°F and 27.6 V at 0°F. The RIVER 2 Max 500 accepts up to 50 V on the Solar input.

Other panels that work with the RIVER 2 Max 500
- EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500: solar input 11 to 50 V on the Solar in (Solar input). EcoFlow sets this limit on open-circuit voltage (Voc), so we hold the panels' Voc on your coldest morning to it.
- Cold raises panel voltage: we add 0.27% per °C below 77F (25°C), this panel's own figure. At 20F one panel's 24.8 V becomes 26.9 V.
- Current over the 13 A cap is safe: the station takes 13 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 220 W on this input.
- Cold-morning voltage uses this panel's own coefficient from its manual, 0.27% per °C.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
