Solar panels for the BLUETTI EP500Pro
It takes any panel between 55 V and 145 V through its Aviation inputs (2 of them), up to 2400 W, which refills it in about 2.1 hours of good sun. 7 of the 39 panels we track work; 22 don't.
Its input window, and where each panel lands
Each line is one panel's open-circuit voltage. Inside the band it can connect on its own; in the red, never plug it in.

Already own a panel that isn't listed?
Type the numbers from the label on its back into the panel checker, already set to the EP500Pro, or build the whole system to see how it keeps up where you live.
10 panels we track get no verdict because their makers don't publish an open-circuit voltage.
How long does the EP500Pro take to charge on solar?
At its 2400 W solar limit it refills in about 2.1 hours. More panel watts than that won't charge it any faster.
What adapter does the EP500Pro need for solar?
Every panel we track needs a cable to reach its Aviation input.
The cables they need: MC4 to Aviation (3 panels), XT60 to Aviation (1 panel) and Anderson to Aviation (1 panel).
2 panels don't have a named plug from their maker, so check the lead before you buy a cable.
Can you use non-BLUETTI solar panels with the EP500Pro?
Yes. What decides it is the panel's voltage and plug, not the brand. 5 panels from Anker SOLIX, EcoFlow, Jackery and Renogy work with it, as long as the panel stays under 145 V on a cold morning and starts above 55 V.
No single panel starts it; they go in series. The strongest setups here are 4 Renogy 590W N-Type Bifacial panels (1700 W delivered) and 4 Jackery SolarSaga 500 X panels (1440 W delivered).
Can you connect two solar panels to the EP500Pro?
You have to. Its input starts at 55 V, so one panel alone won't wake it: wire 2 or more in series.
Wired in series, up to 2 BLUETTI PV100 FX Flexible panels fit under its 145 V limit, even on a -10°C morning. Series adds voltage; parallel adds current.
Past 2400 W delivered, more panels only help on cloudy days.
What is the EP500Pro's solar input?
DC1 (DC1 PV+ / DC1 PV-, via the CP2 4-pin aviation charging port): 55–145 V, up to 12 A, 1200 W. DC2 (DC2 PV+ / DC2 PV-, via the CP2 4-pin aviation charging port): 55–145 V, up to 12 A, 1200 W. 2400 W across all inputs together.
Input limits from BLUETTI's documents, checked 2026-09-18 (source). Delivered watts assume 72% of the panel's rating in good sun.
