AC180 Please Help me chose solar Panels

Product Discussion BLUETTI Apex & AC Series

Hey bluetti gang ! Hope you’re having a good day and happy December :joy:. So yeah, here is my current issue, due to lack of electricity in my country, and hard to keep continue moving from home with my bluetti ac180 pretty much almost all the time to go charge it at my work (Office) and its quite heavy (pretty heavy)… so I’m planning to buy solar panels as it hard for me to find exactly what it recommends in Haiti. I quit the idea to purchasing online, and wonder if amongst these pictures which of these can be good to go with my ac180 without causing damage to it. I just ordered the Elite 30 V2 earlier but i canceled it due to last hour decision about buy a solar panel instead… i need clear and precise explanation as possible PLEASE! thank you for your massive support and help on this.
Please don’t remove my post or ban me …
I
Thank you

@JavaScript_t Hi from Australia.

The maximum DC input to the AC180 is 60V at 10A for 500W. Of the panels you list, only one is rated to 500W, the MakRo. all of the panels you list will work without damaging your AC180.

That said, I have no experience with that Brand. I have a home rooftop 6.6kW array with Trina solar panels, and they are a good panel at 440W each. I am not sure, but Canadian panels maybe Polycrystaline.

I would chose Monocrystaline as a first criteria and the MakRo is Mono. Do a Google on this brand for reviews re quality, but it seems to be fine.

Your limitations are this;

  1. The Voc of a panel is the voltage applicable to the Maximum 60V input, never exceed this value. The method of calculating Watts is the Vmp x Imp values = power output maximum in good conditions. In colder than 25C temperatures there is a thermal coefficient (noted on some panel specifications). This increases the Voc by that factor, where the voltage will increase to a dangerous (above the limit) voltage in freezing conditions, however, in Haiti, I doubt you will ever be cold, lol.
  2. You will only need one of any of the above panels to charge an AC180. connecting 2 panels in series or parallel is TOO much power for this size power station and will damage it. Hope this helps.
