Will the Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel work with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes. One Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel works with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500: about 24.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 50 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on Solar input), about 100 W.
Works
1 x 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel into the RIVER 2 Max 500 (1 panel on Solar input) stays inside 11 to 50 V and under 13 A, even at 20F.
- Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel work with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes. One Renogy 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel works with the EcoFlow RIVER 2 Max 500: about 24.4 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 50 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on Solar input), about 100 W.
Can I connect two 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel panels to the RIVER 2 Max 500?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on Solar input. That gives about 100 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel to the RIVER 2 Max 500?
Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One 50W Mono N-Type Rigid Solar Panel goes from 22.3 V on its label to about 24.4 V at 20°F and 25.2 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 0.30% per °C below 77F (25°C), a typical figure, since this panel does not publish its own. At 20F one panel's 22.3 V becomes 24.4 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 0.30% per °C, typical for crystalline panels. This panel's own value is not published.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
