This is a great unit. I have one with 2 expansion batteries. What makes this system the best, besides price is that each expansion battery accepts up to 2100 watts of solar. So if you have limited access to sun or just short days during winter you can still fully charge the whole system within 2.5-3 hours.
Yeah, the attainable amps of Solar In are just as bad as Bluetti because of their amp limits. I have a Bluetti AC180 and found the only good way to charge it is with a Renogy 400 watt hybrid portable panel wired in parallel.
Hy, love your chanel, great work i have a question i like to play video games in pc and i liked to go camping what product do you recomend thx keep the good job(its a desktokop pc)
I'm kind of interested in one of these. But I'm curious how long the charge will hold with no load. For me it works be for emergency and i suspect when i need it, the battery would be dead. Second question, can it be charged with a gas generator? The reason I i ask is because meant entry level computer battery backup units won't actually charge on "dirty power" when for exactly your gas generator fluctuates from 110-120 volts.
Bought one during Prime sale. The WiFi setup is terrible. Tried using a 300w pure sign wave inverter to charge it up. It kept shutting the inverter down. Would not accept the charge. The MPPT inside this thing is SLOOOWW. The app functionality is so basic, almost to be pointless. I sent email to their customer service. I never got a response.
Solar Power Generator Reviews Every Review of Any Solar Generator, should include a test, to determine, if once the battery is completely drained, subsequently after there is sufficient battery charge from solar, will the generator energize the AC outlets automatically on it’s own? In a completely OFF GRID scenario, and No Internet, if you are using the Solar Generator, for example in a cabin, if the battery is drained, you need it to re-energize the AC outlets as soon as it has sufficient charge from Solar. Otherwise, none of the Solar Generators are worth owning, because the owner would be required to be there every day, just in case the battery was drained, in order to turn the AC outlets back on! Which makes it useless! If you have a Refrigerator, NVR, or other important item that needs power, you can not be there every day, it MUST TURN the AC OUTLETS, ON AUTOMATICALLY!! WHY IS THIS NOT A STANDARD TEST COMPONENT IN EVERY REVIEW OF EVERY SOLAR GENERATOR???
Allot of what you said on Watts/amps/voltage is inaccurate. Please get to know how power is managed and calculated. I like your channel but viewers that don’t understand Ohm’s law rely on your information.
You should be able to hook 3 of those sirius panels up to it in series, that would be under the 150 volt max. You don't have to worry about amps. A power station can ignore amps it doesn't need. But Volts are FORCED in. I used to use Six HQST 190w panels on my AC300 which has the same 150v max.
A couple of quick notes. 1. They include the MC4 to Anderson adapter cable, so one does not need to buy that separately to hook up standard panels. 2. The website says "Tax Included". My guess is they are referring to VAT, not sales tax.
ATTENTION ATTENTION !!! My fine friends. I have to Bluetti AC200L and it has the same solar pattern as some others on the market. 150vdc at 15amps. Running 6 qty 400 watt panels at 24voc and 10 amps each panel, I have 3 strings. So 6 in series and 3 in parellel. Amps are consumed by the units, so it doesn't matter if I am at 30amps peak sun on a cold day ( panels are at their highest when they are cold ). But, what does matter is the strings are cloned ( so same panels ) and then you can change their orientation in degrees to capture morning, noon and sunset. Over paneling is worth it on dark days. Your ROI takes a little longer, but they usually have a 20+ year solar life. So, don't worry about amps.
Looks interesting. I bought the Licitti solar generator kit. 280Ah w/2KW inverter. It’s been pretty solid so far and can run our RV air conditioner, microwave, Starlink+tv+laptop you name it. I do wish it had a 30a plug though just because it makes connecting to an RV with a high quality cable simple.
I didn't know their extra batteries actually did stuff outside of "power the main unit." Okay, that's a pretty good way to go about it, allowing DC in and out on those extra batteries.
You don't know what you are talking about. You can over amp and over watt any of these units all brands. It's the voltage you got to watch. Amps are pulled not pushed.
I got my Oupes Mega 2 for $1049 during their Labor Day sale. They have awesome and responsive support as well. They appear to be well on their way to becoming an established brand.
Cheap stuff tends to break. What's their customer service like? This channel just tests the spec then forgets it. How about LONG TERM under load tests? I’d rather pay more for EcoFlow with solid app and personally ive dealt eith their customer service and they were passable. Who cares how much this costs if the company bails on you if you need service? All that money down the drain.
@@OptimusRay92 there's a HUGE difference between calling customer service and actually getting a service issue RESOLVED. Them praising the company for just picking up the phone is pure weak sauce. Ive dealt with Bluetti and it was hell on Earth to get them to honor their warranty but hey, they picked up hje phone right?

The game changer is that each expansion battery can accept 2100 watts of solar!
@@TheSolarLab signature solar doesn't appear to carry Oupes products. And the link to the Mega 2 won't ship to Canada.
I would call ops too!
I know y’all get a lot of heat in the comments so just wanted to say thank you for all your amazing content and love the channel!

This is super important to me. Got one of the new mega 1’s on reserve.
This was a big selling point and why I got a Mega 2 and battery

I'm pretty sure that you are based in Canada, so how are you getting these Oupes units? I can't find a way to have it shipped to Canada.
There are these interesting boxes that have wheels and are powered by explosions you can use to move things around...

Not sure why it's more expensive than a Bluetti?

You can turn it off completely and top it off once every few months. Yes it can be charged with gas generator.

Which makes it useless!
If you have

you can not be there every day,
it MUST

ON AUTOMATICALLY!!
WHY IS THIS
NOT A STANDARD
TEST COMPONENT
IN EVERY REVIEW
OF EVERY SOLAR GENERATOR???
If Oupes doesn't want their name pronounced oops, why is their logo: "No power oops with Oupes?"

What do you recommend to run a mini fridge, two light 60 watts, and a 48 inch tv 50 watts for 3 1/2 days. On a Budget.
I didn't know their extra batteries actually did stuff outside of "power the main unit." Okay, that's a pretty good way to go about it, allowing DC in and out on those extra batteries.
You don't know why a screen flashes when you video it? Makes me NOT want to take your advise on ANYTHING!
All we need when powers goes out is weed and a powerbank and water and of course an 80s disco room with a bouncer name bob marley
This should have a dozen “you sonovabitch I’m in” Rick and Morty meme comments.
Gonna need to go to your channel and look for other reviews . See if there is a unit that has it " all."
You don't know what you are talking about. You can over amp and over watt any of these units all brands. It's the voltage you got to watch. Amps are pulled not pushed.
😊😊😊😊😊
Currently on their website for $1169. The Anker F2000 is currently $1199. For 30 bucks more, i'm going with the F2000.
Ok
bluetti ac200L is around the same price
Dude ditched his car channel for this
We're building! Ive always said i want cars to be JUST for fun... this is one way to make that happen!
Amazon has the one with 2 solar panels with $330 off and was $2100 minus the $330. But it has a higher original price before the $330 off coupon
If one looks at the name closely the O is actually the symbol for a power button so I call it the PWR UP ES.
Hi i see a VTOMAN on your shelf . Are you doing a review please and thankyou
The new Bluetti AC200L is cheaper than this. I'm not saying it's better, but a "budget brand" is usually cheaper than the competition.
I got my Oupes Mega 2 for $1049 during their Labor Day sale. They have awesome and responsive support as well. They appear to be well on their way to becoming an established brand.
Oops!!!
No light = No go
Can this system be set to Automatically Turn On the AC Outlets whenever it has sufficient DC power to create AC power?
No
No
