Will the Rich Solar MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) work with the Anker SOLIX C300?
No. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 28V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it. Two panels: don't connect (2 panels in parallel on XT60), about 0 W.
Don't connect
Do not plug this in. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 28V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
- Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 28V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
- 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 manual: the panel voltage must be 11 to 28V or the station can be damaged. Anker does not say if that is open-circuit voltage, so the checker uses the stricter reading.
- A 24 V panel: 40.8 V open circuit on its own, so two in series only suit high-voltage solar inputs.

Will the Rich Solar MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) work with the Anker SOLIX C300?
No. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 28V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it. Two panels: don't connect (2 panels in parallel on XT60), about 0 W.
Can I connect two MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) panels to the C300?
No: Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 28V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) goes from 40.8 V on its label to about 44.7 V at 20°F and 46 V at 0°F. The C300 accepts up to 28 V on the XT60.

Other panels that work with the C300
- Anker SOLIX C300: 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 40.8 V becomes 44.7 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.
