Will the Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel work with the Anker SOLIX C200 DC?
Yes. One Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel works with the Anker SOLIX C200 DC: about 24.5 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on XT60), about 100 W.
Works
1 x 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel into the C200 DC (1 panel on XT60) stays inside 11 to 28 V, even at 20F. The station caps the current at 8.2 A.
- The brand does not say whether its voltage limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we check against the stricter open-circuit number.
- The panels can push 12.8A but this input takes 8.2A, so the station caps it. Safe, you just lose some watts.
- Anker's manual: use only 11 to 28V panels with an XT60 plug. The PS200 and PS400 panels are not compatible and can damage it.
- Use an MC4 to XT60 solar cable.

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel work with the Anker SOLIX C200 DC?
Yes. One Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel works with the Anker SOLIX C200 DC: about 24.5 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 28 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on XT60), about 100 W.
Can I connect two 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel panels to the C200 DC?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on XT60. That gives about 100 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel to the C200 DC?
Use an MC4 to XT60 solar cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel goes from 22.4 V on its label to about 24.5 V at 20°F and 25.2 V at 0°F. The C200 DC accepts up to 28 V on the XT60.

Other panels that work with the C200 DC
- Anker SOLIX C200 DC: solar input 11 to 28 V on the Solar in (XT60). 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 22.4 V becomes 24.5 V.
- Current over the 8.2 A cap is safe: the station takes 8.2 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 100 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.
