  • Folded sizeThe Anker states folds to 983 × 567 × 80 mm; the EcoFlow states folds to 1,058 × 620 × 25 mm, 18% bigger.

    Anker: Caravan RV Camping product page read 30 Sept 2026 567 × 983 × 80mm

    EcoFlow: Caravan RV Camping product page read 30 Sept 2026 1058mm x 620mm x 25mm

  • Watts per square metre unfoldedThe EcoFlow states 160 W per m² unfolded; the Anker states 178 W per m² unfolded, 11% more.This means the Anker claims more watts from each square metre of panel.

Price and price per watt aren't compared here yet. That needs a second shop selling each one for about the same price (within 10%), which shows the price is real. Today: price, Anker $1,399 and EcoFlow $1,299; price per watt, Anker $3.50 and EcoFlow $3.25.

1 figure is about the same
  • Rated output: Anker 400 W; EcoFlow 400 W (the same)

Can't be compared The two brands give this figure in different ways, or only one brand gives it. For example, one counts battery charges until 80% of the capacity is left and the other until 70%. Set side by side, the numbers would mislead, so both are shown and neither is put ahead.

  • TypeThe Anker is a hard panel that folds in half. The brand doesn't say either way for the EcoFlow.

  • Open-circuit voltageThe EcoFlow states 48 V open-circuit. The brand doesn't give this figure for the Anker.

    EcoFlow: Caravan RV Camping product page read 30 Sept 2026 48V (Vmp 41V)

A difference is listed above only when both brands measure a figure the same way and the gap is at least: rated output: 10% or more; price: 10% or more; price per watt: 10% or more; weight: 8% or more; type: one has it and the other doesn't; folded size: 15% or more; watts per square metre unfolded: 10% or more; open-circuit voltage: 2 V or more. Every comparison on this site uses the same gaps.

Rated output is the watts the panel makes in a lab test with strong sun on cool cells; out in the sun it makes less. Weights and sizes are as each retailer lists them.

Where this pair sits

All 14 solar panels from 200 W to 500 W with a price today (checked 30 Sept 2026). Each dot is one solar panel: further right means more rated output, higher up means a higher price per watt. The dashed line is the middle price per watt, $2.55: half cost more, half cost less. Along the bottom, each doubling of rated output takes the same width.
