Hi.

I need to verify before I buy the panels.

If I hookup 2 of the Dokia 300w panels serialized into 1 jack set, connected into the Bluetti solar generator, will it charge properly and be compatible?

Will/do the Charger and Panel connectors match or do/wold I need to buy converter/s?

Tnx either way..

Also, if it will work, will only using one singe 300w panel charge the Bluetti?

The Bluetti says 10V-145V solar input and the Dokio 300w panel are 12v..
 
Dokio 300w panel are 12v..
If you look at the specs on the panels it will show the actual panel voltages (Voc and Vmp).

It looks like 1 panel as well as 2 in series will work. The panels likely have MC4 connectors. The Bluetti might come with a MC4 adaptor to whatever connector is built into the unit.

11-19 A
 
That's Cool(thanks)!

Also, the Generator comes with an XT90 to MC4, not what's needed so I've found the SAE to MC4 connectors on Amazon.

OK, so I'm going to buy 2 Dokia 300w solar panels to charge the Bluetti AC200P solar generator.

Am I able to leave the solar panels plugged in and keep charging the generator while using the generator to power appliance's, like, not have to unplug the fridge while charging, or is this unsafe?

huh?
I was asking about Voc and Vmp (volts). "12V panel" is a useless marketing term.

Shouldn't be a problem but i have no idea if Bluetti has built in this limitation.

You should look for big cheap panels on craigslist or local online marketplace. Its common to get panels for less than $.50 per watt.
If you post your general location, maybe someone will point you to big cheap panels in your area.

Come back and post panel specs so they can be evaluated for your use.

oops, goofed earlier..

The max operating voltge on each panel is 18 volt and the max op. current is 16.67 Amps.

When serializing them together with one output neg/pos connector, does that double the volts/amps and what I need to watch for the generator specifications?

I guess I'll find out.. :)

I'm going for those because they are "probably" small enough for my mother to manage outside, simply opening and plugging in. She's healthy yet at 67, and don't want her with something too big as for I broke my neck and am useless now for any help for her, but I am smart enough to take my time and buy what needed for her, 'in case', powers out for any length of time, giving her light, cooking, heat or AC, if/when needed in the future.. I looked into getting solar for the roof and actual house but, for us that's disgustingly high, even if it does increase the home equity..
