Fantastic comparison chart would like to see it also done for other units laid out the same way great work. The only thing missing on the new elite 200 model is battery expansion home run if it was added

Can agree to @Ktt . Good comparison. For me it was always kinda difficult to tell which AC200 can do something and which dont. This helps a lot ;)

I congratulate Bluetti for listening to users and adding 3 useful features on Elite 200 V2 :
-
possibility of exceeding the 8A limit (on request)
-
recover AC DC setting when generator reignites after shutdown due to lack of energy
-
Personalize charging/discharging schedule, set battery SoC limits and control the schedule and grid input switch…
Finally, an important point, the manual is much clearer on these delicate subjects.
These features seem very important to me and set the Elite 200 V2 apart !! Well done Bluetti !

You should add the DC input voltage range to the chart. I know this information is printed in the respective manual, but it would help when making decisions regarding solar panel selection. I find the 145v max of the AC200L a huge plus.
The recovery mode is something that many people are asking for. There are so many questions about “How to turn on AC automaticly when full again”. Great to see its finally being added!
@BLUETTI Is this chart correct for number of cycles?
Shouldn’t the 200L be 3000 (not 3500), given what the 200L product page shows?
If it should be different, wonder if there are other errors.
possibility of exceeding the 8A limit (on request)
Sorry if this is not the right place to ask this, but this is what I’m confused about.
I currently use 5 Bluetti PV200 panels to over panel my AC200P at 1000 watts, even though it will only accept a maximum of 700 watts.
I’m wanting to get the Elite and would like to use the same panels.
What is the proper way to hook them up to the Elite?
Can i hook up all 5 panels to take advantage of the full 1000 watt solar charging ability of the Elite with these 5 panels?
From the manual, it says for quicker charging the example given is if you use both mc4 connectors on the dc input cable. They will be connected in parallel.
Each of the two connectors will have two PV200 (20v/10a) panels connected in series. That will only give me 800 watts.
Important update on 24/11/26 :Bluetti Admin clarified that Elite 200 V2 has only ONE MPPT channel split into Y-shape. :). So I have to correct my post.
You are right, you will not be able to use your 5 pv200 panels to do overpaneling (1000w of solar vs 700w of solar input with your ac200p): you will only be able to use 2 panels in series for each of Solar input (2 couples of MC4 mounted in parallel - Y shape). So 4 panels maximum. However your 4 panels allow a maximum of 800w to be supplied, it is better than your 700w with your ac200p.
Your judicious observation shows that the elite 200 v2 rather replaces the ac180 than the ac200l max etc… for which the solar inputs do better. Compared to the ac180 everything is superior, however for a size a little bit larger by 5%. The ac180 should be introduced in the comparison table right next to the elite 200 v2 and it should be specified for the elite 200 v2 that it is in fact 2 mppt inputs 60V max and 10 A max, and 2x500w max and that for existing pv installations this can have consequences.
I agree with Brassburnz and Selfmadestrom.
Hi @BLUETTI , this chart make this compact and powerful unit very attractive.
I’m interesting in knowing what you mean by Automotive Grade versus the “other” LFP.
Automtive Industry usually favors NMC due to its higher energy-weight ratio, and that makes me wonder 
Thank you for your reply Snips1.
So, in order to reach the maximum 1000 watts of the Elite V2, what combination of currently available Bluetti solar panels can a purchaser use? I assume that you also can’t go over the 1000 watt limit.
It would seem to me that the only combination of panels would be to replace the 200 watt panels in my example with 250 watt panels? Bluetti does not make these, so the 1000 watt solar charging ability of the Elite V2 seams misleading. Am I missing something?
Do you need small, foldable, portable solar panels (more expensive) or large, fixed panels (cheaper) ?
Portable, foldable. Just wondering what the Bluetti options are for their own ELite V2?
Important update on 24/11/26 :Bluetti Admin clarified that Elite 200 V2 has only ONE MPPT channel split into Y-shape. :). So I have to correct my post.
When you put the panels in series, the VOC added of your panels must not exceed the 60v max. This does not leave much choice if you want to use only Bluetti’s foldable and portable panels: 2 sp200l in series per solar entry (for two Solar input mounted in parallel) seems to be the least bad choice.
So with your 4 pv200 which have characteristics very close to the sp200l, you have the right combination (with your fifth unused panel).
If you want to try to do better, you have to look elsewhere than at Bluetti to see if there are portable solar panels that can reach or exceed 500w per mppt.
I figured as much. It is confusing for a novice to go through all the Bluetti products. One could have assumed that all 5 panels would work with a newer unit from the same company because it worked with the older version. They should list what combinations of Bluetti panels will work with each unit to maximize the solar charging.
I decided in this case to pick up two Elite V2 to use with four of my PV200 panels.
I’ll sell my AC200P along with my spare 5th panel as a package deal. Should be able to almost make up the cost of one of the Elite 200.
Thanks again for your help.
Edit:
On the Amazon product page, Bluetti has questions and answers. They recommend 2-3 Bluetti 200W panels. Why do they say 2-3, when 3 of their 200W panels would put it over the voltage? Shouldn’t they be saying either 1, 2 or 4, but not 3?
Here is what they say there:
What kind of solar panel should I choose? Is it possible to use third-party solar panels?
You can use any BLUETTI solar panels. For third-party panels, they must meet the following conditions:
-
Total VOC: 12V to 60V
-
Total power: 1000W Max.
-
Equipped with a compatible solar connector
We recommend 2-3 × BLUETTI 200W panels.

One last point : it is possible that with 2 strings (of 2 panels in series) mounted in parallel, you produce more in the end than with 5 panels in series: indeed in your series configuration, when a panel is in the shade generally it reduces the intensity of all your panels and therefore the power of the other panels in full sun. Whereas with 2 independent strings, that a string of two panels is in the shade, it does not impact the other string.
If you often have shadows, you may get more Wh with your two strings mounted in parallel.

Interesting.
Did you see my edit to my last post?
What do you make of Bluetti recommendation?
