Newbie question on charging a Bluetti AC180.....

[JWWRadio]

OK, I know enough to damage my equipment, so here goes.

I have 200 Watts (2ea 100 Watt) of Renogy Solar panels with the Rover 203040 MPPT solar controller. My newly acquired Bluetti AC180 comes with the Solar cord. It plugs into the unit and the other end has MC4 Connectors. The Bluetti site shows some typical diagrams and it is not showing the Charge controller.

Based on this diagram, my charge controller would not be utilized. I just want to make 100% certain. Note: I do see the warning not to exceed 60v input......

Thanks in advance....

What does the solar panel show on the back of it for Voc? If it is low enough (well below 30V), you can likely wire the panels in series. If the voltage is higher you may have to wire them in parallel, which may require additional cables.

Those renogy are 22.5 volts models. ?

Means in series it will be 45 volts + 20% winter = 54volts. .
So it can fit on it .
No winter use sure it will work.
200: 13.2 volts if the battery inside is that volts range
200watts : 14.2 =14 a charge from the mppt to the battery .

Watts are watts series or parallel its the same output performance from the mppt

OK, Thanks. This give me some info to research on the VOC. I appreciate it @JLV03 and @Suijkerbuijk ....

The AC180 has its own MPPT controller, connect it directly to the panel outputs without the Rover controller in the middle.
