Will the BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI AC180?
Yes. One BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI AC180: about 45.3 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 DC7909), about 200 W.
Works
1 x PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel into the AC180 (1 panel on DC7909) stays inside 12 to 60 V and under 10 A, even at 20F.
- BLUETTI's manual: panels above 60V open-circuit voltage damage the station, and the warranty does not cover it.
- Do not mix different types of panels, and use at least 100W of panels.
- 41.4 V open circuit is high for a 100 W panel: two in series reach 82.8 V, more than most stations take.
- The BLUETTI US store sells it only in sets of 2 or more.
- Use an MC4 to DC7909 solar cable; check whether one came in the box.

Quick answers
Will the BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI AC180?
Yes. One BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI AC180: about 45.3 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 DC7909), about 200 W.
Can I connect two PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel panels to the AC180?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on DC7909. That gives about 200 W.
What cable do I need to connect the PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel to the AC180?
Use an MC4 to DC7909 solar cable; check whether one came in the box.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel goes from 41.4 V on its label to about 45.3 V at 20°F and 46.7 V at 0°F. The AC180 accepts up to 60 V on the DC7909.

Other panels that work with the AC180
- BLUETTI AC180: solar input 12 to 60 V on the Solar in (DC7909). BLUETTI sets this limit on open-circuit voltage (Voc), so we hold the panels' Voc on your coldest morning to it.
- 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 41.4 V becomes 45.3 V.
- Current over the 10 A cap is safe: the station takes 10 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 500 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.
