Will the EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel work with the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel works with the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: about 23.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 160 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in series on Solar input), about 320 W.
Works
1 x NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel into the C2000 Gen 2 (1 panel on Solar input) stays inside 11 to 60 V and under 17 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 does not say whether its voltage limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so the checker uses the stricter reading.
- Ships with an XT60i charging cable, so it plugs straight into recent EcoFlow stations.
- Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).

Quick answers
Will the EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel work with the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel works with the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: about 23.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 160 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in series on Solar input), about 320 W.
Can I connect two NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel panels to the C2000 Gen 2?
Yes, 2 panels in series on Solar input. That gives about 320 W.
What cable do I need to connect the NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel to the C2000 Gen 2?
Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel goes from 21.3 V on its label to about 23.3 V at 20°F and 24 V at 0°F. The C2000 Gen 2 accepts up to 60 V on the Solar input.

Other panels that work with the C2000 Gen 2
- Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: solar input 11 to 60 V on the Solar in (Solar input). 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 21.3 V becomes 23.3 V.
- Current over the 17 A cap is safe: the station takes 17 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 800 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.
