Will the BLUETTI PV120 Solar Panel work with the EcoFlow RIVER mini?
Yes. One BLUETTI PV120 Solar Panel works with the EcoFlow RIVER mini: about 26.7 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 39 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on DC input), about 100 W.
Works
1 x PV120 Solar Panel into the RIVER mini (1 panel on DC input) stays inside 11 to 39 V and under 8 A, even at 20F.
- Use the solar charging cable that came with the station (MC4 on the panel side).

| Wiring | Input | Volts at 20F | Amps | Watts | Verdict |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 panels in parallel on DC input The panels can push 12.2A but this input takes 8A, so the station caps it. Safe, you just lose some watts. | DC input | 26.7 | 12.2 | 100 | Works |
| 2 panels in series on DC input Open-circuit voltage 48.8V is above the station's 39V limit. Going over a station's input voltage limit can damage it. | DC input | 53.4 | 6.1 | 0 | Don't connect |
Quick answers
Will the BLUETTI PV120 Solar Panel work with the EcoFlow RIVER mini?
Yes. One BLUETTI PV120 Solar Panel works with the EcoFlow RIVER mini: about 26.7 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 39 V limit, and about 100 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on DC input), about 100 W.
Can I connect two PV120 Solar Panel panels to the RIVER mini?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on DC input. That gives about 100 W.
What cable do I need to connect the PV120 Solar Panel to the RIVER mini?
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 PV120 Solar Panel goes from 24.4 V on its label to about 26.7 V at 20°F and 27.5 V at 0°F. The RIVER mini accepts up to 39 V on the DC input.

Other panels that work with the RIVER mini
- EcoFlow RIVER mini: solar input 11 to 39 V on the Solar in (DC input). EcoFlow 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 24.4 V becomes 26.7 V.
- Current over the 8 A cap is safe: the station takes 8 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 100 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.
