Observed Symptoms:

The EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 reports 0% solar yield in the mobile application and/or web portal. The system is not registering any power generation from the connected solar array.

Common Causes:

Damaged or disconnected communication cables between the solar inverter and the Smart Home Panel 2 (if applicable, check Ethernet).
Incorrect configuration of solar input settings within the EcoFlow app (e.g., wrong panel type or capacity).
Wi-Fi connectivity issues preventing data synchronization with the EcoFlow cloud.
Firmware bug in the Smart Home Panel 2's EMS causing incorrect data processing.
Cloud service outage at EcoFlow preventing data display.
Incompatible inverter protocols blocking communication between devices.

Pro Tip:

In the EcoFlow app, navigate to the 'About' section and tap the firmware version number multiple times. This may unlock a hidden diagnostic menu providing detailed system logs and communication status information. This information can be useful for identifying the root cause of the zero solar yield issue.

Critical Safety Precautions:

Do not attempt to disassemble or repair the Smart Home Panel 2. Improper handling can result in electric shock. Ensure proper DC disconnect procedures are followed if any work needs to be done on the solar array. Secure your EcoFlow account with a strong, unique password and enable two-factor authentication to prevent unauthorized access and data manipulation.

Recommended Action:

1

Verify Wi-Fi or Ethernet connectivity of the Smart Home Panel 2 within the EcoFlow app settings. Check signal strength and IP address.
2

Ensure the EcoFlow app is updated to the latest version from the app store.
3

Check the solar input settings in the EcoFlow app to confirm the correct panel type, capacity, and string configuration are selected.
4

Perform a system reset of the Smart Home Panel 2 via the app. Navigate to 'Settings' -> 'System' -> 'Reset'. Note that this may require re-pairing the device.
5

Force a firmware update of the Smart Home Panel 2 through the app. Navigate to 'Settings' -> 'Firmware Update' and check for available updates.
6

Check the EcoFlow server status page (if available) to rule out a cloud service outage.
7

Attempt to re-pair the Smart Home Panel 2 with your EcoFlow account using the app.

How It Works:

The EcoFlow Smart Home Panel 2 relies on internal current transducers (CTs) and voltage sensors to measure solar production. This data is processed by the embedded Energy Management System (EMS) and transmitted via Wi-Fi or Ethernet to the EcoFlow cloud. The mobile app and web portal display this data. Faults in the CTs, sensor signal processing, communication protocols (Modbus/TCP, MQTT), or cloud connectivity can lead to inaccurate readings, including zero solar yield.

Maintenance Tips:

Regularly check the EcoFlow app for firmware updates and install them promptly
Periodically review system settings within the app to ensure accurate configuration
Monitor Wi-Fi signal strength and ensure stable internet connectivity
Check the server status to catch outages immediately
