Hello.
I am going to buy a Bluetti AC200Max. I have doubts regarding the minimum wattage needed to charge this unit.
I saw in reddit that sometimes it only register when it is receiving around 100 watts coming from solar panel(s). Is this true?
I am looking for a unit that can receive low watts since it can happen on cloudy days or when I am in places with bad weather and/or winter.
What is the minimum solar watts charge that it appears on the screen? If it shows only 40w, 60w, or 100w, when the solar watts charge is less than that, is the unit still charging even though it hasn’t reached the minimum to start to show on the screen?
Can the unit still receive 5w, 10w or 15w from solar and charge?
Thank you
Hello, i have 200max.
You can charge to 5 or 10 W, with solar, the application will show you these 5, 10, 15 w …
The only problem is that the AC200 max unit can consume in standby even without consumption, 5.8W so if the charge of the panels is too low it is not cost-effective.
Hello. Yes, makes sense, it needs to be more than standby and/or dc/ac consumption.
I’ve also seen that its shunt must have some threshold that only shows charging from 0.5 amps and above for example. I’ve gotten answers in reddit that people saw it registering low as 4watts and low as 25 watts. Either way, I’m satisfied knowing it can register and charge and low amounts.
I chosen Ac200Max because I’ve seen some reviews where the standby consumption was almost none in DC and good low amount in AC, but I never seen concreter numbers, thank you.
