Will the EcoFlow NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T): about 23.5 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 184 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in series on Solar input (XT60)), about 368 W.
Works
1 x NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel into the Pioneer MD (AC180T) (1 panel on Solar input (XT60)) stays inside 12 to 60 V, even at 20F. The station caps the current at 10 A.
- The panels can push 11.9A but this input takes 10A, so the station caps it. Safe, you just lose some watts.
- Use an MC4 to XT60 solar cable.

Quick answers
Will the EcoFlow NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T): about 23.5 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 60 V limit, and about 184 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in series on Solar input (XT60)), about 368 W.
Can I connect two NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel panels to the Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes, 2 panels in series on Solar input (XT60). That gives about 368 W.
What cable do I need to connect the NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel to the Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Use an MC4 to XT60 solar cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One NextGen 220W Bifacial Portable Solar Panel goes from 21.5 V on its label to about 23.5 V at 20°F and 24.3 V at 0°F. The Pioneer MD (AC180T) accepts up to 60 V on the Solar input (XT60).

Other panels that work with the Pioneer MD (AC180T)
- BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T): solar input 12 to 60 V on the Solar in (Solar input (XT60)). 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 21.5 V becomes 23.5 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.
