Will the Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX work with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2?
Yes. One Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX works with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2: about 22.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on XT60i), about 200 W.
Works
1 x MEGA 100 FLEX into the C1000 Gen 2 (1 panel on XT60i) stays inside 11 to 60 V and under 14.5 A, even at 20F.
- The brand does not say whether its voltage limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we check against the stricter open-circuit number.
- Anker's page gives 11 to 60V but does not say whether that is open-circuit or working voltage, so the checker uses the stricter reading.
- Use an MC4 to XT60i solar cable.

Quick answers
Will the Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX work with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2?
Yes. One Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX works with the Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2: about 22.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on XT60i), about 200 W.
Can I connect two MEGA 100 FLEX panels to the C1000 Gen 2?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on XT60i. That gives about 200 W.
What cable do I need to connect the MEGA 100 FLEX to the C1000 Gen 2?
Use an MC4 to XT60i solar cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One MEGA 100 FLEX goes from 20.4 V on its label to about 22.3 V at 20°F and 23 V at 0°F. The C1000 Gen 2 accepts up to 60 V on the XT60i.

Other panels that work with the C1000 Gen 2
- Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2: solar input 11 to 60 V on the Solar in (XT60i). Anker SOLIX does not say whether this limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we use the stricter reading: open-circuit voltage on your coldest morning.
- Cold raises panel voltage: we add 0.30% per °C below 77F (25°C), a typical figure, since this panel does not publish its own. At 20F one panel's 20.4 V becomes 22.3 V.
- Current over the 14.5 A cap is safe: the station takes 14.5 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 600 W on this input.
- Cold-morning voltage uses 0.30% per °C, typical for crystalline panels. This panel's own value is not published.
- Expected watts are the best case in full sun. Real-world midday output is usually 60 to 80% of that.
