Charger 1 + Solar

Hello I’m getting the new charger 1.
2014 Ford E350 Self converted camper van
Bluetti Ac200 P
200x2 watts solar panels
I want to be able to connect to the Charger 1 and the solar at the same time. Do I need an aviator to MC 4 Cable ? Or a split MC4 cable? What’s the best way. Thanks

@Paulabow Sorry, Charger 1 does not support PV input. When charging, you can only choose one: either connect the solar panel for PV charging or connect Charger 1 for car charging.

Thanks but doesn’t it use the aviation chord? It’s plugging in like shore power, right?

The Charger 1 is designed for getting a steady 12V or 24V DC Source. Its very different to a charging controller that take a wide input range

Aviation port is no needed; the installation process only requires connecting the MC4 port.
