Looking for a 400 watt option for my AC180 below. I think this panel may not be compatible due to the ISC Short Circuit value of 12.4A
I know the volts are good for my unit but how does the ISC amperage affect things. The unit has a max charge of 10amps. Will it just charge less than 400 watts? Can someone explain what the ISC 12.4 value is and is that a concern with using it on my AC180?


Device and specifications
BLUETTI AC180 Solar Portable Power Station | 1,800W 1,152Wh
Solar Input: 500W Max., VOC 12-60VDC, 10A

PANEL I am looking at. (If this is not compatible do you have a recommendation for a 300-400watt one? )

Looks like it should work.
Isc is short circuit current and is useful for installing a fuse. Imp is the maximum current available under ideal conditions.
The AC180 will accept what it wants and ignore the rest.
In theory, under ideal conditions, you will be charging at 36v & 8a-10a.
