Will the Anker SOLIX PS200 Bifacial work with the Anker SOLIX S2000?
Yes, with a catch. Fine in mild weather (57.6V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 63.1V, above the 60V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage. Two panels: works, with a catch (2 panels in parallel on XT60i), about 399 W.
Works, with a catch
It charges, but read the note. Best option: 1 panel on XT60i.
- Fine in mild weather (57.6V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 63.1V, above the 60V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage.
- 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 panel's plug type is not confirmed yet. Check the label or the box before buying a cable.

Quick answers
Will the Anker SOLIX PS200 Bifacial work with the Anker SOLIX S2000?
Yes, with a catch. Fine in mild weather (57.6V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 63.1V, above the 60V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage. Two panels: works, with a catch (2 panels in parallel on XT60i), about 399 W.
Can I connect two PS200 Bifacial panels to the S2000?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on XT60i. That gives about 399 W, with one catch: Fine in mild weather (57.6V), but on a 20°F (-7°C) morning the open-circuit voltage rises to about 63.1V, above the 60V limit. Cold makes panels push more voltage..
What cable do I need to connect the PS200 Bifacial to the S2000?
The panel's plug type is not confirmed yet. Check the label or the box before buying a cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One PS200 Bifacial goes from 57.6 V on its label to about 63.1 V at 20°F and 65 V at 0°F. The S2000 accepts up to 60 V on the XT60i.

Other panels that work with the S2000
- Anker SOLIX S2000: 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 57.6 V becomes 63.1 V.
- Current over the 12.5 A cap is safe: the station takes 12.5 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 400 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.
- Some numbers for Anker SOLIX PS200 Bifacial come from a shop listing we have not confirmed in the manual yet.
