Hold on to the cable if you need an extra. I'm not sure if it has changed yet, but you couldn't find the cable anywhere for the past couple of months.

Will you be connecting them in parallel? Did you buy the parallel connection cable as well?

Ya, that's the plan. And I did buy the cable from Ecoflow while I was at it. I just didn't have the time to set it up and test it today. Might do it over lunch tomorrow.
Did it come with one of these: https://za.ecoflow.com/products/solar-to-xt60-charging-cable ?
Yeah, one for each of the panels.
Edit. With my solar panel order I got 2 boxes with the mounting feet, 2 boxes with the cables, and one big box with the two panels.

According to the Ecoflow FB page the 'SA launch' for the Delta 2 and River 2 is March 16:
I'm currently packing about 1.4kw of portable energy for day-to-day usage, but about 0.8kw (this is what I estimate it's degraded to over time) of that is my Ecoflow Delta 1300. Considering it's NMC and has less life cycles, I'm considering getting another Delta or maybe one of the bigger Rivers to supplement my backup power. Will see once pricing lands.
I'm at over 3kw (rated) and I probably don't need another. But boy would I like a Delta 2. xD
Why don't you consider a small inveter generator as a backup to charge your power stations in case of prolonged outage and overcast days...
I have been considering it but my brother will probably have something to say about that... As it was he was like "you better not be thinking about mounting those panels"...
At least rent is cheap

Not so much any more... Family rates aren't so discounted these days
They just sent 4 tracking numbers for the order of 2 panels and parallel cable. I am not sure why they are sending them as 4 items. seems like a gigantic waste.
Ya, at least you got 4 tracking numbers. I only got 1 via email.
But from what I seem to have figured out, Buffalo only move the items between their warehouses. Once the items get to a warehouse, it's actually handled by other couriers. Like I had Shein handle two of my deliveries and Fastway handle one of the others.

I was at Builders Warehouse today and saw them unpacking a whole shelf full of Ecoflow units.

I got almost everything yesterday except for the feet. The feet were supposed to come with the panels right? Or did you order them separately? I had 4 tracking numbers and I received 4 boxes but no feet.
How is this working out? Does it also function as a UPS?

No, they come in their own shipment, even though they are part of the panel order. Reach out to support and find out what the story is.
