Will the Rich Solar MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) work with the DJI Power 1000?
No. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 30V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it. Two panels: don't connect (1 panel on XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 1 + 1 panel on XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 2), about 0 W.
Don't connect
Do not plug this in. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 30V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
- Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 30V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
- Solar needs the DJI Power Solar Panel Adapter Module (MPPT), sold separately: three XT60 inputs, each 12 to 30 V, up to 10 A and 200 W. DJI says each panel must stay under 30 V open-circuit, so most 100 W and 200 W 12 V panels fit one per input, never two in series.
- DJI says the Power 1000 can take two adapter modules at once; one module gives up to 400 W.
- A 24 V panel: 40.8 V open circuit on its own, so two in series only suit high-voltage solar inputs.

Quick answers
Will the Rich Solar MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) work with the DJI Power 1000?
No. Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 30V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it. Two panels: don't connect (1 panel on XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 1 + 1 panel on XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 2), about 0 W.
Can I connect two MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) panels to the Power 1000?
No: Open-circuit voltage 40.8V is above the station's 30V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One MEGA 200 PRO FLEX (24V) goes from 40.8 V on its label to about 44.7 V at 20°F and 46 V at 0°F. The Power 1000 accepts up to 30 V on the XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 1.

Other panels that work with the Power 1000
- DJI Power 1000: solar input 12 to 30 V on the Solar in 1 (XT60, Solar Panel Adapter Module channel 1). DJI 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 40.8 V becomes 44.7 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 200 W on this input, 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.
