BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 or EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus: Same 1,024 Wh, Different Solar Doors
Summary
Both store 1,024 Wh and both put out 1,800 W of AC, so the choice turns on the inputs. BLUETTI gives the Elite 100 V2 a single 1,000 W solar input at 12 to 60 V and 20 A; EcoFlow splits the DELTA 3 Plus into two 500 W inputs at 11 to 60 V. EcoFlow lists 3,600 W surge, while BLUETTI labels its 2,700 W feature Lifting Power, so those numbers are not equivalent, and lists four extra batteries; the Elite 100 V2 is about a kilogram lighter. On October 4, 2026 BLUETTI showed the Elite 100 V2 at $489; we did not re-check EcoFlow's price that day.
The two spec sheets
| BLUETTI Elite 100 V2 | EcoFlow DELTA 3 Plus | |
|---|---|---|
| Capacity | 1,024 Wh (20 Ah) | 1,024 Wh |
| AC output | 1,800 W total, 120 V, 15 A; 2,700 W Lifting Power | 6 outlets, 1,800 W total, 3,600 W surge |
| Solar input | 1,000 W max, 12 to 60 V, 20 A max, one input | two inputs, 11 to 60 V, 500 W each |
| AC charging | 80% in 45 minutes with 1,200 W TurboBoost | 1,500 W AC input; quoted solar time belongs in the solar comparison |
| USB-C | not captured from the page we read | 2 ports, 140 W max |
| UPS switchover | 10 ms or less | not stated in our earlier reading |
| Battery | LiFePO4, 4,000+ cycles to 80% | LFP, 4,000 cycles to 80% or more |
| Weight | 11.5 kg (25 lb) | about 12.5 kg |
| Warranty | 5 years | 5 years |
| Extra batteries | none listed on the page we read | DELTA 3, DELTA 2, DELTA 2 Max and DELTA Pro 3 Extra Batteries |
| Price | $489.00 on October 4, 2026 (regular $499.00) | not re-checked on October 4, 2026 |
Elite 100 V2 figures are from BLUETTI's U.S. page on October 4, 2026; DELTA 3 Plus figures are from our September 23, 2026 reading of EcoFlow's U.S. page.
One big input or two medium ones
A 1,000 W input on one connector takes a larger array in one run, but the 20 A ceiling means that at low voltage the input cannot reach 1,000 W: 20 A at 20 V is 400 W. Two 500 W inputs let you hang two different panels, say a 220 W folding panel and a 400 W rooftop module, without wiring them together, and EcoFlow's 70-minute figure assumes both are full. Either way, the panel's open-circuit voltage has to stay under 60 V, and it rises in the cold; our pairing guide covers the margin.
Surge, and what it is for
EcoFlow lists 3,600 W surge; BLUETTI markets 2,700 W Lifting Power. Lifting Power is not evidence of an equivalent compressor-start surge. Both units have a stated continuous AC rating of 1,800 W; check the appliance and exact manual instead of ranking motor capability by the two unlike figures.
If you plan to grow the system
EcoFlow names four extra battery models that connect to the DELTA 3 Plus with the specified Alternator Charger XT150 Output Cable, reaching back to DELTA 2 generation packs. BLUETTI's page for the Elite 100 V2 did not show an expansion option when we read it. If a second battery is in your plans, that is the deciding line.
