Understanding Solar Compatibility with the AC180

MPPT Range & Why It Matters

The AC180 accepts solar input between 12V and 60V (MPPT range). Panels with Vmp below 12V won't start charging — the MPPT controller can't lock on. Panels with Vmp above 60V may damage the input circuit.

Cold Weather Voltage Safety

We apply a 1.2x safety margin to each panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc) to account for cold temperatures, when solar cells produce higher voltage. The AC180's maximum input voltage is 60V. Any panel whose Voc x 1.2 exceeds 60V is flagged as a voltage danger. 19 of 20 panels pass this safety check.

Cables & Adapters for the AC180

The AC180 uses a DC7909 solar input connector. DC7909 is a barrel connector used by some Bluetti models. An MC4-to-DC7909 adapter may be needed for third-party panels. 19 of 20 panels require an adapter with this unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I use any solar panel with the Bluetti AC180?

No. The AC180 requires panels with Vmp between 12V and 60V, and cold-weather Voc (Voc x 1.2) under 60V. Of the 20 panels we tested, 16 are fully compatible, 3 work with limitations, and 1 are incompatible.

How long does it take to charge the AC180 with solar?

With the fastest compatible panel (EcoFlow 400W Portable Solar Panel, 400W delivered), the AC180 (1152Wh) charges in approximately 4.1 hours under real-world conditions (70% derate for angle, clouds, and temperature). The slowest compatible option (Jackery SolarSaga 80W Solar Panel) takes approximately 20.6 hours.

Do I need an adapter for solar charging the AC180?

The AC180 uses a DC7909 connector. 19 of 20 panels require an adapter. The remaining panels connect directly via DC7909.
