    Solar panels for Bluetti EB 150

    Forbisher........Well Well, first it is not the same question!! If you read the initial post I was asking about the availability of 250 watt 50 volt panels. conclusion: not available....second post asking about different set up. 2-200 watt panels. I just bought the bluetti so you are wrong...

    Solar panels for Bluetti EB 150

    I bought a Bluetti EB 150 - PV max input 500 watts, voltage range 16 - 60 Vdc. max current - 10 amps. The "perfect" solar panel setup would be (2) 250 watt panels in parallel...(500 watts, 50 volts @ 10 amps) such panels do not exist. So I found (proposing) (2) 200 watt, 24 volt Peimar panels...

    Panel needed

    Will discussed the "perfect" solar panel setup for the Bluetti Maxoak (PV input of 500watts, 16-60volts) as being two 250 watt, 50 volt panels connected in series. I can not find such a panel! Does anyone know where I can get such a panel? Thank you

    Does anyone have any experience with Storz batteries? (battery and charge control - BMS together)? Additionally, If one builds an off grid system with plenty of panels to generate the needed power do you have to have a battery to use the power directly via mppt and inverter? I do not care...

    manufacturers claim for appliance run time - Calculations?

    Ok now I looked at an appliance that runs continuously - the fan using 25 watts. then 1700watt/Hr battery divided by 25 watts = 68 W/hr ???? Manufacturers states 36 hours. What are the assumptions there?

    manufacturers claim for appliance run time - Calculations?

    First, Your website and videos are fantastic, very good information…thanks. I am having trouble understanding how the manufacturers are calculating the hours that certain appliances can run on their solar battery “generators”. Bluetti AC200 – 1700Whr battery – max inverter output = 2000watts...
