Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T): about 24.6 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 Solar input), about 200 W.
Works
1 x 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel into the Pioneer MD (AC180T) (1 panel on Solar input) stays inside 12 to 60 V, even at 20F.
- The manual or page does not give a current limit for this input, so current was not checked.
- Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).

Quick answers
Will the Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes. One Renogy 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI Pioneer MD (AC180T): about 24.6 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 Solar input), about 200 W.
Can I connect two 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel panels to the Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on Solar input. That gives about 200 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel to the Pioneer MD (AC180T)?
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 100W Lightweight Flexible Solar Panel goes from 22.5 V on its label to about 24.6 V at 20°F and 25.4 V at 0°F. The Pioneer MD (AC180T) accepts up to 60 V on the Solar input.

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). 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 22.5 V becomes 24.6 V.
- The current limit for this input is not confirmed yet.
- 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.
