This is the perfect video for me. I'll be going full time, in a travel trailer, and I was having severe doubts about a solar set up. I'd already decided on the AC300 but it's really nice to see that someone else had come to the same conclusion. A big plus is that when I'm done traveling, and want to settle down, I'll already have a home power back-up.
Thanks for the video. I have a Bluetti 200Max and use the crap out of it everyday and haven't had any issues at all. I've drug it around on a dolly on a construction site and treat it like a rented mule to see when it will fail. Getting fairly close to a year now with it!
The Delta Pro is actually 1600 watts of solar. And comparing the Delta Max to the Bluetti AC 300 are two different in cases. Its suppose to be Delta Pro VS AC 300.
Bro, I'm so glad you did this video because I was just about to make the same mistake you did by purchasing three 200-watt solar panels as opposed to the 350-watt panels. You saved me some money. 💰 Thanks 🙏👍
Best video for selecting solar for RV boondocking that I’ve seen! Thank you for explaining everything logically without the need for distracting RUclips “showmanship.” You now have a new subscriber.
This video is exactly what I was looking for - super helpful for a little piece of land where we want to set up an off-grid RV situation for vacationing, but wanted it to be as "plug and play" as possible! Thanks!
Good choice! I also purchased the AC300 and 4 batteries and the 3) 200 watt bundled panels for my camp trailer. I also installed 2 strings of 1000 watts of solar panels on the roof (10-200 watt panels). Added a transfer switch for both A/C and D/C voltage. I haven't tested it out yet, but your usage and makeup information was helpful.
Excellent video. Concise and full of important facts. I totally agree with your comment about more solar panel capacity than batteries. I have a motorhome and I added additional solar panels to the roof and a connection for portable solar panels prior to thinking about any battery upgrade. Now I’m thinking about just investing in a power station instead of lithium batteries for the exact same reasons that you stated.
Thank you for sharing. Have recently gone through same journey you did before coming across a solar generator. Also thank you for your recommendations regarding set up :) will go this this
Great Video! RV life is such a wonderful way to enjoy the outdoors and spend quality time with family. One important thing to consider is having reliable outdoor gear and backup power. I recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. It offers a massive capacity, fast recharging, and a waterproof design. Perfect for all your power needs during your RV adventures! Happy camping!
You can put 200 extra solar input on each battery, as well as 500 using their DC charging enhancer, per battery, if you have 4 batteries you can (in a convoluted way admittedly) get 2800 watts of solar just on the batteries, as well as the 2400 on the AC300 itself. Giving a total of 5200 at full capacity with all the batteries. Taking advantage of all of that, you could really push the limits of what you can put on that AC300. In addition, if you happen to have a solar set up already that converts your existing panels to AC, you can get a bunch more also via AC charging, the bluetti blows the competition out of the water if you want to go full on solar.
With transfer switch I put the solar generator inside my trailer. Ran solar cable inside as well. Can still use external ac connection when necessary. Shore power or gas generator. Really boondock forever.
Wow, the "RV life" video sounds amazing! As an outdoor enthusiast and RV lover myself, I highly recommend checking out the Segway Portable PowerStation Cube Series. With its massive capacity, powerful output, and fast recharging capabilities, it's perfect for keeping your devices and appliances running during extended camping trips. The waterproof technology and comprehensive protections are also great features for any outdoor adventure. Happy camping!
Very well done. We are looking at solar generators as a possible replacement for the 10s of thousands or dollars we've seen people dump into solar systems. Bluetti is just release the AC500 which looks great as well. It appears to have a dedicated 50A RV plug which is great for us as we have a large RV. I'm just wondering if we would be able to boondock for a week or 2 at a time with one of these systems. During the hotter months we would definitely need to run at least 1 AC if not 2. Wish we had an opportunity to test one of these systems with our RV to see what it could and could not do for us off grid.
I really enjoyed your video and it ultimately help me make my finial decision in what product I want to purchase. Although I would like to note that in your comparisons you sometimes used the EcoFlow Delta Max and sometimes the EcoFlow Delta Pro. I don't know if this was intentional or and oversight in the making of your video. Non the less, nice video. Thanks.
I have to return my 2 b300 batteries recently. If you look in the Bluetti community lots of issue with the b300s going dead and then you can’t revive them. If you’re planning to use them off grid and can’t keep them constantly powered you may want to look at other options fortunately I should have sent them back early on when I was getting errors out of the box
Such a great video!!! Thanks so much for sharing your research. I recently purchased an RV and was wondering how I could incorporate this solar generator system into it.
You can use the Bluetti as a power source, plugging appliances directly into it, but to run the Frig and AC you have to use it as a 'shore power' source. Question: Using as a Shore Power source runs the Bluetti through the RV converter/inverter and that saps power. Alternating Current out at the 'shore power' socket goes into the RV system, which distributes it as AC and DC power . . . also trickle charging your lead/acid battery . . . is there a way to bypass the RV panel?
This an extremely important question, running this system off the shore power plug is highly inefficient from what I understand. Maybe disable the RV inverter and run a separate connection for the 12v side
@@joebrewster8074 You got the Bluetti inverter producing AC into shore. Have to trace that in the panel. I'm interested in running the Dometic AC . . . definitely need a 'soft start' capacitor upgrade.
@@felicialee9900 There is a separate power block and cable from Bluetti called a charging enhancer. You can use it add another input for solar to charge it even faster. I highly recommend it.
GREAT, concise ,clear video with actually helpful info, Well done! I wonder if now , 2 years later you'd still buy the AC300 with one 300 battery, OR an ecoflow delta pro ( since they came out with LIfepo)? Also, have you had any experience with any issues , or their customer service? I have an AC180, but need to upgrade to higher power as we will be using it in a stationary RV and periodically running a 5000 BTU wall unit air conditioner ( not such a heavy draw as an RV air conditioner.) Thanks!
yep thanks for sharing your information I feel good about going ahead and ordering this bluetti I think I'm going to get the one extra battery and 3 of the 350 solar panels What I would like to know is when I order all that will all the cables I need come with it and when I looked at the link you have for the extention cord it was 30 ft can I connect two of those together to make 60 ft
Awesome video. This is the only one I found covering this topic. I have the same setup as yours expect only one shower. The ac300 is a bit out of budget. Do you think a EcoFlow DELTA Max 1600 Portable Power Station could run my setup for a full day? If not what unit if any would you recommend thats under $2,000?
1000W for a DC fridge for a day’s use? That seems really, really high. Is it a modern DC fridge? We can run our 10.6 cu/ft DC fridge in the new camper we just bought all night, easily, on less than 66Ah from the AGM batteries that came with the rig for a day’s use.
Completely silent is not true, the fans on these units are very loud. I know a lot of people like to say that about power stations because they don't use combustion, but it is as loud as my robot vacuum if it is in the same room and the fan is on. Not as much of an issue if it is outside or in a contained storage area, but still misleading. From another website: "I measured ~48.2 dBA for the “low speed” (single fan?) noise level, and ~57.9 dBA for the “high speed” (both fans?) noise level, all at 1 meter away from the AC200MAX" My inverter generator is in the 50's for db so they aren't much different when the power station is work horsing it. Granted the fan does cycle and doesn't even come on under light loads.
I have started down this same path and seems much easier and many more applications, that just fixed into my RV. Since the your video have you looked in the GoalZero products specifically the Yeti 4000 pro?
Nice vid. If you monitor this, would be interested in your thoughts on small addition to your plan I am considering. Bluetti solar gen and portable solar panels are plan 1.....BUT my rv is prewired for solar (just a roof top connection box and cable routed from roof to storage bay and dead eneded). So there are some great deals on solar panel kits so putting 2-400 watts of solar on roof of rv and then where the cable ends in rv storage... having it dead end but a way to plug extension in so that roof top panels can charge bluetti. I know sometimes parked in shade and will still have portable panels that are better but....with all that roof space and pre wired....seems $400 for 400watts of good fixed rv roof solar might be worth it and then maybe down the road will route into rv and upgrade to lithium batteries etc when I learn more or needs change. Dumb or good idea? Still thinking on it, but lets say you put 1000w of cheap solar fixed on rv roof and just sometimes just cabled it to bluetti.... that is my thought as a option for now . Cheers from Canada
Good video with good info (I'm considering purchasing this system), but please, the difference between watts and watt-hours is important. Watts is power (i.e. a 1500 watt space heater), and watt-hours is power over time or ENERGY (i.e. space heater for one hour = 1500 watt-hours). Solar panels are rated in watts (power), and over time they bring in a certain amount of watt-hours (ENERGY). You captured 2200 WATT-HOURS per day, NOT watts. What you said is like saying 'I drove 60 MPH per day'. Doesn't make sense, does it? (hint: watts multiplied by time is watt-hours) Anyways, electrical engineer rant over.
See this is all the stuff that I don't understand my mind cannot comprehend. That's why I enjoyed the video because it was in terms I could understand. I'm a complete novice I have no idea what I'm doing and I probably shouldn't be doing it at all I just don't have a choice.😅
I’m liking the features now will the app of the bluetti will require after installing wifi or Bluetooth connection to wirelessly turn off on things ? For the model you have I had a question on the ups modes , will it power things throw ac wall and push those wall Amp limits or will the battery kick in if the demand is bigger or there’s an blackout? Will it do it automatically and after energy come back go back to wall power and recharge battery inside the unit ? Does this unit have any real type of internal over voltage watts protection for example in an over voltage Surge from lightning to the solar panels in a rainy day will the company back up a repair of this kind many don’t think it can Happen but I seen solar panel burn a good portion but I don’t know what happens to the energy since it’s milliseconds
BOy you answered my question! Thank you!!! More solar than adding another (2K$ battery)- are these batteries really only 60ah?! That is wicked expensive. I have the same AC300/2 B300- 410 PV in series on top and a 350 Bluettti PV (which I am so thankful for!). Trying to decide - buy another portable panel 350 or add one on top of the van? Probably have room for another 200-300 (which would be in series rather than parallel).
I have a question maybe you could answer. Thinking about getting the 300 but want to know if the battery is charged lets say 100% or close to that and you have it hooked up to 600W of solar will the extra solar (beyond charging the battery) go to run the things you have plugged in or is it just wasted because your things can only run off the battery? Thanks in advance:)
I have been living fulltime in a 28 foot travel trailer with a AC200max + B230 for over a year now. So far it has worked well and will even run AC with a soft start installed. I have 1100 watts on the roof along with 400 watts of portable panels which allows me to run ac for hours without any loss of power since it's has passthrough solar that matches my usage. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket so i have a gas generator and about to move my house house battery indoors and add a independent charge controller, inverter, and battery monitor. If the Bluetti dies I will have a backup that is serviceable. However, the Bluetti has allowed me to quickly get out camping and start working remote.
I’m also having a problem running my RV AC compressor with a portable solar generator because the RV’s built-in surge protector trips. Everything else in Rv can be powered by solar generator. Did you find solution? Grounding plug?
You most likely need to install a "Soft Start" on your rv. They sell them for around $250 that can get wired directly into your AC or at the 30Amp plugin area. Most generators and solar generators are not rated to start the compressor since they require such a high initial spike. A soft start might solve that issue, as it did for me. I can run my rv ac now on a house plug with a standard electrical cord, or via an AC200Max. I couldn't prior to installing a Microair Soft start. @@rvtechman3619
That is a battery not generator. A "generator" is defined as a device that converts mechanical energy into electricity. It is very hard for me to trust someone who misrepresents their products.

The Delta Pro has already proven itself. I think he forgot to mention that the AC300 does not work without the B300.

I can't buy a bluetti, because I have no physical address. Can't send it to me. I'm going to settle with a jackery. Can buy from home depot it's lame
Amazon’s products are so expensive that Amazon charges sellers a commission of 15% of the transaction amount, which actually comes from the buyers.
Amateurs, I keep the panels out till it reads 0 watts coming in.
I seriously doubt the longevity of the Bluetti. I have been reading not so good actual reviews of it.
I have been living fulltime in a 28 foot travel trailer with a AC200max + B230 for over a year now. So far it has worked well and will even run AC with a soft start installed. I have 1100 watts on the roof along with 400 watts of portable panels which allows me to run ac for hours without any loss of power since it's has passthrough solar that matches my usage. I wouldn't put all my eggs in one basket so i have a gas generator and about to move my house house battery indoors and add a independent charge controller, inverter, and battery monitor. If the Bluetti dies I will have a backup that is serviceable. However, the Bluetti has allowed me to quickly get out camping and start working remote.
How did you run your RV with the Bluetti, I can't for the " not ground " error in my surge protector
I’m also having a problem running my RV AC compressor with a portable solar generator because the RV’s built-in surge protector trips. Everything else in Rv can be powered by solar generator. Did you find solution? Grounding plug?
You most likely need to install a "Soft Start" on your rv. They sell them for around $250 that can get wired directly into your AC or at the 30Amp plugin area. Most generators and solar generators are not rated to start the compressor since they require such a high initial spike. A soft start might solve that issue, as it did for me. I can run my rv ac now on a house plug with a standard electrical cord, or via an AC200Max. I couldn't prior to installing a Microair Soft start. @@rvtechman3619
Not a fair comparison
Remember this is his comparison based off his budget not class of system so yall need to quit with the shit
That is a battery not generator. A "generator" is defined as a device that converts mechanical energy into electricity. It is very hard for me to trust someone who misrepresents their products.
Correct it’s a common name for these. Most people that use them know that the name is a misnomer but it is a widely accepted term for these.
this is a great product, pls call their number and inquire
