Solar panels for the Anker SOLIX E10

Written by Ian Schneider·Solar & Off-Grid Tester

Anker built the E10 to sit on a bracket and wire into the house, and its solar input is drawn to the same scale. Two PV inputs, each rated 30 to 450 volts and 4500 W, 9000 W between them. The user guide calls the sockets PV Connector Ports and never says which connector they are. It does say the panels go in series.

The floor is where folding panels run into trouble. Thirty volts is the least the E10 will take, and most folding panels read in the twenties on the label. Jackery's SolarSaga 200W reads 22. Renogy's 200 W blanket reads 19.6. On this station they go in series, the output lead of one panel into the input of the next, so the voltages add along the chain. Panel makers call that chain a string. Two of either panel in a string clears 30. One on its own never does.

Nothing we track fills 9000 W. The biggest set we can build is twenty of Anker's own 440 W rigid panels, 6336 W delivered, with the 6144 Wh battery full in about an hour. Sixteen of Jackery's SolarSaga 500 X folders come close and cover more ground than I have deck. At 190.6 pounds the E10 stays where it is bolted. If it were mine it would be on the cabin wall with a string of rigid panels coming off the roof. Above 165 volts Anker's guide wants a qualified electrician on that wire. I wouldn't argue.

The door

Every panel we track, lined up at the SOLIX E10's solar input

Every panel we track, in a line by the voltage on its label. That figure is the open-circuit voltage, Voc on the sticker, what a panel puts out in sun before anything is drawing from it. The black line is 450 V. No bar on this chart comes anywhere near it.

The line that matters on the E10 is lower down, at 30 volts. A bar that stops short of it is a panel that needs company. In a string the label voltages add, and so do the pale caps, the extra a −10 °C morning puts on each panel, about 10%. The caps add up the chain as well as the labels do. Before a string went anywhere near this socket I'd want the Fluke across the whole of it on the coldest morning I could find.

Hover any bar for the panel's name. Type your own panel's Voc into the field underneath and it gets a bar of its own, cap included.

Swipe sideways for the whole line-up.

A day on solar

How long the SOLIX E10 takes to charge on solar

The tick sits short of the first hour. Hold both inputs at their full 9000 W and the 6144 Wh battery is done in forty-two minutes. No set we track holds them there.

Twenty of Anker's 440 W rigid panels take about an hour. So do fourteen of Renogy's 590 W bifacials. Eighteen of Renogy's 320 W rigid panels take an hour and a half. A good day has three to six hours of sun that strong, so any of these arrays has the battery full by mid-morning and nothing to do after. How many days like that you get is a question of state and month, and the system builder answers it.

Hours of good sun, from empty. Where you live and the month decide how many of those a day gives; the system builder works it out.

Every panel that fits

Solar panels compatible with the SOLIX E10

Thirty-one fit, and every one of them fits as a set. For each: the cable, what one panel delivers in good sun, and the most the E10 will take from a string of them. There is no cable to name, because Anker never names the connector. Sorted by delivered watts.

Own a panel that isn't in the line-up?

Type its voltage into the door chart above for the height test, then put the rest of the label into the panel checker, already set to the SOLIX E10, for current and plug too. Or build the whole system to see how it keeps up where you live.

The plain answers

How long does the SOLIX E10 take to charge on solar?

At its 9000 W solar limit it refills in about 0.7 hours. More panel watts than that won't charge it any faster.

What adapter does the SOLIX E10 need for solar?

Every panel we track needs a cable to reach its Other:PV Connector Ports input. None comes in the box.

31 panels don't have a named plug from their maker, so check the lead before you buy a cable.

Can you use non-Anker solar panels with the SOLIX E10?

Yes. What decides it is the panel's voltage and plug, not the brand. 31 panels from Renogy, Jackery, EcoFlow, BLUETTI, Anker SOLIX, Eco-Worthy and Rich Solar work with it, as long as the panel stays under 450 V on a cold morning and starts above 30 V.

The strongest single panels here are the Renogy 590W N-Type Bifacial (425 W delivered) and the Jackery SolarSaga 500 X (360 W delivered).

Can you connect two solar panels to the SOLIX E10?

You have to. Its input starts at 30 V, so one panel alone won't wake it: wire 2 or more in series.

Wired in series, up to 9 BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible panels fit under its 450 V limit, even on a -10°C morning. Series adds voltage; parallel adds current.

Past 9000 W delivered, more panels only help on cloudy days.

What is the SOLIX E10's solar input?

PV Input 1: 30–450 V, up to 15 A, 4500 W. PV Input 2: 30–450 V, up to 15 A, 4500 W. 9000 W across all inputs together.

Input limits from Anker's documents, checked 2026-09-18 (source). Delivered watts assume 72% of the panel's rating in good sun.
