Will the BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel work with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes, with a catch. The panel's working voltage is not published, and this station is rated by working voltage, so the fit cannot be confirmed. Two panels: works, with a catch (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Works, with a catch
It charges, but read the note. Best option: 1 panel on DC8020.
- The panel's working voltage is not published, and this station is rated by working voltage, so the fit cannot be confirmed.
- Jackery's manual: if you use both inputs, put the same type and the same number of panels on each, or uneven voltages can cause damage or charging problems.
- Three or four panels need Jackery's solar series connector. The manual also shows wiring methods that are not allowed, so check that page before you wire.
- 41.4 V open circuit is high for a 100 W panel: two in series reach 82.8 V, more than most stations take.
- The BLUETTI US store sells it only in sets of 2 or more.
- Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.

Quick answers
Will the BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel work with the Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes, with a catch. The panel's working voltage is not published, and this station is rated by working voltage, so the fit cannot be confirmed. Two panels: works, with a catch (1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020), about 200 W.
Can I connect two PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel panels to the Explorer 2000 Plus?
Yes, 1 panel on DC8020 + 1 panel on DC8020. That gives about 200 W, with one catch: The panel's working voltage is not published, and this station is rated by working voltage, so the fit cannot be confirmed..
What cable do I need to connect the PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel to the Explorer 2000 Plus?
Needs an MC4 to DC8020 adapter cable.
Is it safe on a cold morning?
Panel voltage rises in the cold. One PV100 FX Flexible Solar Panel goes from 41.4 V on its label to about 45.3 V at 20°F and 46.7 V at 0°F. The Explorer 2000 Plus accepts up to 60 V on the DC8020.

Other panels that work with the Explorer 2000 Plus
- Jackery Explorer 2000 Plus: solar input 11 to 60 V on the Solar in 1 (DC8020). Jackery rates this input by working voltage (Vmp), so that is the number we hold to the limit. We still warn when the cold-morning open-circuit voltage goes over 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 41.4 V becomes 45.3 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 700 W on this input, 1,400 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.
