Will the EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X: about 23.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 160 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on High Power Port), about 320 W.
Works
1 x NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel into the Yeti 1500X (1 panel on High Power Port) stays inside 14 to 50 V and under 50 A, even at 20F.
- The brand does not say whether its voltage limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we check against the stricter open-circuit number.
- Goal Zero gives solar charging as 600 W actual input at most, across its ports.
- Ships with an XT60i charging cable, so it plugs straight into recent EcoFlow stations.
- Needs an MC4 to HPP (Anderson Powerpole) adapter cable.

Quick answers
Will the EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel work with the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X?
Yes. One EcoFlow NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel works with the Goal Zero Yeti 1500X: about 23.3 V on a 20°F morning against the station's 50 V limit, and about 160 W in full sun. Two panels: works (2 panels in parallel on High Power Port), about 320 W.
Can I connect two NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel panels to the Yeti 1500X?
Yes, 2 panels in parallel on High Power Port. That gives about 320 W.
What cable do I need to connect the NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel to the Yeti 1500X?
Needs an MC4 to HPP (Anderson Powerpole) adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One NextGen 160W Portable Solar Panel goes from 21.3 V on its label to about 23.3 V at 20°F and 24 V at 0°F. The Yeti 1500X accepts up to 50 V on the High Power Port.

Other panels that work with the Yeti 1500X
- Goal Zero Yeti 1500X: solar input 14 to 50 V on the Solar in 1 (High Power Port). Goal Zero does not say whether this limit is open-circuit or working voltage, so we use the stricter reading: open-circuit voltage on your coldest morning.
- 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 21.3 V becomes 23.3 V.
- Current over the 50 A cap is safe: the station takes 50 A and you get fewer watts. We count only the capped watts.
- Max 600 W on this input, 600 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.
