The EcoFlow STREAM series makes using home solar generation easy
The cost of electricity is a huge talking point right now, so tapping into – and storing – renewable energy is becoming more and more popular. Combining solar panels with a battery storage system is a great way to generate power without needing to plug into the mains, and the STREAM series from EcoFlow allows you to reduce your dependence on the grid with advanced features. Installation is simple, with no need to drill. The STREAM kits come with rigid solar panels capable of generating up to 2000W of solar energy combined plus some brackets to fit them to your balcony, roof, house facade or lay on the ground. The STREAM Ultra and STREAM Pro batteries have integrated microinverters to turn that power into something useful. Super-flat cables allow the generated power to pass through doorways or windows without obstruction, and the kit is suitable for installation in a wide range of settings, from small apartments to larger homes. The panels have an IP65 rating, so they'll easily be able to shrug off the British weather. Founded in 2017 by a group of battery engineers, EcoFlow aims to lead the global journey toward renewable energy with industry-leading portable power products, solar technology, and smart home energy solutions. It now operates in more than 140 regions around the world, and has 1192 patented technologies to its name. The sun is shining Solar panels only generate energy when the sun shines (though the STREAM microinverter activates with just 3W of solar input, ensuring a steady power supply to your home, even during early morning or dusk hours) and to make the best use of this you'll want to store excess power in batteries. EcoFlow's STREAM series revolutionises home generation by introducing an AI-powered home power plant network, a smart system that automatically coordinates multiple batteries throughout the home. The STREAM series offers up to 2,300W dual-mode bypass AC output, which allows users to run 99% of home appliances on solar energy by plugging some directly into the battery packs. The system seamlessly feeds solar power into the home grid and simultaneously supplies devices with energy via two independent AC outputs. This innovation ensures that both low-energy devices, such as laptops, and high-energy devices, such as tumble dryers, can operate without mains power. Whether devices are supplied with energy via direct bypass or grid integration, solar energy intelligently adapts to the needs of the household, offering an unparalleled level of flexibility and efficiency. All batteries, regardless of where they are placed, provide power at the same time, allowing for longer runtimes for high-wattage devices and reduced dependence on the grid. With STREAM, sers benefit from a simplified, efficient installation and flexible battery placement that guarantees effortless energy management. By intelligently automating energy flow and storage, this innovative technology helps pave the way for households to greatly lower their electricity costs. Sleek and compact EcoFlow has kits available that include battery packs, such as the STREAM Series Standard Set that includes a smart meter, and two battery packs that can be chained together to power higher-wattage appliances – or connect up to six for a huge 11.52kWh of storage. You can get them with and without solar panels, allowing you to create a new home generation setup, or enhance an existing one. The STREAM AC Pro is compatible with microinverters of all brands, while the STREAM microinverter is compatible with almost all commercially available solar panels. The STREAM Ultra X, STREAM Ultra and STREAM Pro models are all-in-one solutions that combine microinverters and energy storage in one device, so all you need to do is add solar generating capacity. The STREAM series uses a sleek and compact design that is 40% smaller than traditional systems, making it ideal for homes with limited space. Despite its size, it doesn't compromise on performance. The system includes built-in safety features such as over-current protection, IP65 weatherproofing, and ultra-quiet operation with only 30 dB, ensuring safe and reliable operation in any environment. The robust and efficient design guarantees outstanding performance, even in difficult weather conditions. Ecoflow's user-friendly approach ensures that everyone – regardless of their technical knowledge – can benefit from clean and renewable energy.

The Confluence Center of Colorado breaks ground
GRAND JUNCTION, Colo. (KREX) – A few years ago, the Dos Rios Park opened its sidewalks to the community and on Wednesday there was a groundbreaking ceremony of the future sight of the Confluence Center. Community members and officials from the city and state legislators were in attendance on Wednesday for a groundbreaking celebration. Rusty Lloyd, executive director of Rivers Edge West and the president of the Board of the Confluence Center of Colorado, states, 'We started moving dirt this month, and so we're celebrating this, this momentous kind of first phase of this exciting building, a nonprofit building.' The new building will house six local nonprofits that have similar goals of teaching kids about our water and land. For example, one nonprofit, EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum looks over the STREAM preschool. This program offers more than just STREAM education. Jenn Moore, executive director for EUREKA! McConnell Science Museum, states, 'We're actually naming it the stream science, technology, rivers engineering, art and math in the STREAM preschool will be growing the next era of hydrologists and geologists and economists that are here to help us protect this valuable resource that we have in our backyard.' The site will soon be a place for knowledge for the next generation. Johanna van Waveren, executive director for the Colorado National Monument Association, states, 'I really think this is something special, because we're working so hard towards similar missions. so we're already collaborating. so to be able to be in one building and to be able to work together to make the next generation of leaders.' And the best part about the center is naming it for what Junction is based off of. Grand Junction City Council member Cody Kennedy states, 'I think it's an opportunity for us to come together as a community, to celebrate who we are being part of a community was built around a river and we should be looking for ways to care for it and incorporate it into our future.' Joe Higgins, a member of the committee, states, 'I wish I had more money…' WesternSlopeNow spoke with Higgins who was one of the major donors in this new building. Higgins says giving back to the future generation is something he wants to do Higgins states, 'But the bottom line is, I do try to support things in the community that I think make a difference and make us a stronger and a better community. (…) It's really easy for me to be supportive of that and to invest in it with my own dollars.' Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Bahraini Students Achieve Top Ranks in TIMSS 2023 International Assessments
Students from schools across the Kingdom of Bahrain have secured advanced rankings in the 2023 Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS), as announced by the International Association for the Evaluation of Educational Achievement (IEA), based in Amsterdam. Bahrain's achievement comes following the participation of all government and private schools in the kingdom as part of a broad international assessment. Bahraini students ranked second in the Arab world in the Grade 4 Science assessment and third in the Grade 4 Mathematics assessment. Additionally, they secured fourth place in the Arab world in the Grade 8 Science assessment and third place in the Grade 8 Mathematics assessment. On this occasion, Dr. Samah Mohammed Al-Ajawi, Assistant Undersecretary for Education Policies and Development and National Coordinator for International Studies, expressed her gratitude to all students who participated in the assessment, as well as to the teachers and specialists who supervised their preparation. She emphasized that the Ministry of Education is committed to enhancing educational practices in mathematics and science to keep pace with global advancements in these critical subjects within the STREAM approach. Dr. Al-Ajawi further highlighted the ministry's strategic efforts to develop mathematics and science curricula and improve teaching methodologies to achieve even better international results in future assessments. The TIMSS study aims to provide highly accurate, high-quality, and credible data and indicators on the teaching and learning of mathematics and science in government and private schools. These insights are instrumental in shaping educational policies and ensuring continuous improvements in the teaching of these subjects.
