Using Solar Power to operate my Polar Express Model Railroad Layout. I'm using an Eco Flow Delta Solar Generator rated at 1260 watt hours of power. To charge the Lithium Ion Battery in the Eco Flow Delta, I'm using two 160 watt Eco Flow flexible Solar Panels connected in series. By connecting the solar panels in series, the amps stay the same, while the voltage increases. Connecting in parallel results in the amps increasing while the voltage stays the same. My Eco Flow Delta has a maximum solar input of 65 volts and 10 amps.
The Eco Flow Delta that I'm using has a maximum ambient temperature limit of 86 degrees Fahrenheit. With an outside temperature of 103 degrees Fahrenheit, I only connected the solar panels long enough to demonstrate the connection. To fully charge the unit, I'll need to run the extension cord to connect the panels under the exterior door, while keeping the Eco Flow Delta inside in the air conditioning. I'm using a power strip with an on-off switch to plug in all of the transformers and accessories for my layout. So I only need to plug in the cord to the power strip to connect everything to the Eco Flow Delta.
Lionel is no longer listing any Polar Express items in its catalog. Probably a good thing, since they've taken the Polar Express far beyond where the book and the movie went. Though I may not be acquiring any new Polar Express accessories or rolling stock, I still have lots of plans for building and expanding my layout. One of my next projects will be adding winter clothing to many of the human figures that I have for my layout.
