Hi everyone,
I have a Bluetti ac200p that I’m having issues properly charging with my solar panels. I have two different types of panels with two different types of connectors. I have two 100-watt panels with anderson connectors, and a 200-watt panel with solarEnz connectors. In both cases, I can’t seem to connect any of them in series successfully. I’ll get decent charge by plugging one in, but not only does connecting a second panel not change the input charge, but it actually decreases it slightly. For example, I’ll go from 50-watt input with a single panel to 48-watts with two. I’ve tried connecting the panels every which way, including the two 100-watt panels, the 200-watt panel to a 100-watt panel, and a 100-watt panel to the 200-watt panel. I’m not sure if this makes a difference, but I have to use adapters at each point of connection since the DC input plug on the generator is an X90. That being the case, I have to use an anderson-to-x90 for the 100-watt panel, a SolarEnz-to-x90 for the 200-watt panel, and a SolarEnz-to-anderson to connect the 100-watt and 200-watt panels. Anyone have any ideas where I may be going wrong?
Thanks!
