Will the EcoFlow 175W Rigid Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI EP500Pro?
Yes. One EcoFlow 175W Rigid Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI EP500Pro: about 27.9 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 150 V limit, and about 175 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on PV input + 1 panel on PV input), about 350 W.
Works
1 x 175W Rigid Solar Panel into the EP500Pro (1 panel on PV input) stays inside 12 to 150 V and under 12 A, even at 20F.
- EcoFlow's spec table labels the 7.85 A figure as a voltage; it is the operating current.
- Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).

| Wiring | Input | Volts at 20F | Amps | Watts | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 panel on PV input + 1 panel on PV input Best option | PV input + PV input | 27.9 | 7.9 | 350 | Works |
| 2 panels in series on PV input | PV input | 55.8 | 7.9 | 350 | Works |
| 2 panels in parallel on PV input The panels can push 15.7A but this input takes 12A, so the station caps it. Safe, you just lose some watts. | PV input | 27.9 | 15.7 | 268 | Works |
Quick answers
Will the EcoFlow 175W Rigid Solar Panel work with the BLUETTI EP500Pro?
Yes. One EcoFlow 175W Rigid Solar Panel works with the BLUETTI EP500Pro: about 27.9 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 150 V limit, and about 175 W in full sun. Two panels: works (1 panel on PV input + 1 panel on PV input), about 350 W.
Can I connect two 175W Rigid Solar Panel panels to the EP500Pro?
Yes, 1 panel on PV input + 1 panel on PV input. That gives about 350 W.
What cable do I need to connect the 175W Rigid Solar Panel to the EP500Pro?
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 175W Rigid Solar Panel goes from 25.5 V on its label to about 27.9 V at 20°F and 28.8 V at 0°F. The EP500Pro accepts up to 150 V on the PV input.

Other panels that work with the EP500Pro
- BLUETTI EP500Pro: solar input 12 to 150 V on the Solar in 1 (PV 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 25.5 V becomes 27.9 V.
- Current over the 12 A cap is safe: the station takes 12 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 1,200 W on this input, 2,400 W across all inputs.
- 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.
