I need some unit that will drop down the power from my rigid panels for input into my AC300. Normally I would choose Bluetti's D300S but that has not been available for months to order from anywhere. So unless I can purchase find a website that has a D300S in stock, or buy one used it seems like I need to find some alternative part that will downgrade the power from 6 of these solar panels into 2 sets of MC4 connectors that reduces the power enough to fit the maximum Bluetti PV solar input. Does anyone have any ideas?

My Bluetti AC300 only allows for

Max. Input Voltage 150VDC
MPPT Voltage Range 12-150VDC
Max. Power of Input 1200W*2
Rated Input Current 12A*2
and the input is in two sets of MC4 connectors

Here is the specs for my solar panels - having 6 of them installed on my roof

Why not just use 4 panels instead of 6?

Put two in series on one set of connectors and another two in series on the other set of connectors.

That will keep each of the two strings under the 150V input max and it will keep each string under the 12A input max.

Any other combination will either exceed the max input voltage or the max input amperage.

Or find different panels that have a Voc that allows 3 in series and still be under the 150V limit (taking into account the increased Voc with colder temperatures).
