Nice review! Just want to mention one thing: you can in a sense "expand" these by hooking up batteries to one of the DC / Solar inputs (thus sacrificing half of the solar input capacity). I have done this with the following setup: 2 EP500 Pros, 1200 Watts of Solar going into each, into one of their PV inputs. 2 B300 batteries, with 400 watts of solar going into each of them (via the DC charging enhancer). Output of each battery goes into the other (unused) PV input of the EP500. Works great!
Excellent review. Impressive and please feel free to do more reviews, very enjoyable, accurate, lovely explanations. Keep up the good work. Best wishes.
Always brings a smile 😁 to my face when I see a new video from your channel. They are such a great reference. Thank you!! I don't have time to watch the whole video now. I'll be back!
Thank you for this video. I have watched it twice and may need to again. I am the Grandma you referred to. I have one Bluetti SP120W to go with my EP500 BLUETTI PRO. My medusa Cables are labeled PV+ and PV-...can they be hooked up wrong? Is this the correct solar panel for my unit. my solar panel is a portable unit
How do you define expand? You can pair it with a second unit to get 240V. You can also add B300 batteries (needs a special adapter). I would call that expandable. Would anyone else?
I have the Bluetti smaller model, EP500 (PV input: 55-145VDC, 20A, max 1200W). According to your messurments and tests in EP500Pro, whitch panels can i use: 3 panel of 550W (Vmp/V 42.05, Imp/A 13.08) or 3 panels of 415W (VMPP (V) 32.12, IMPP (A) 12.92)?
You would use Voc to calculate solar panel compatibility. Voc needs to be under 150 volts per solar controller. I suggest leaving a 20% margin, meaning keep Voc under about 135v. This gives you enough headroom so that it does not go into overload on extremely bright or cold days when the panels make higher than rated voltages. The other values you posted are not used in determining compatibility.
It would be great if they could firmware in a 24hr graph of how much DC input there was (as this will usually be solar), then you can check how your panels did while you were at work
Thanks for the reply. Is there a difference in settings or environment? I waited for a while, but it seems that the AC70 video is not displayed in my environment. I would appreciate it if you could tell me the URL of the AC70 video.@@WaveformScience
Thank you from Ukraine! Your video was very useful to me😇

Such a detailed test and review of an awesome power station. thanks from Jamaica.

Thank you very much from Germany. Very detailed test...
Excellent review.
Groovy!!!

Nice review!! So you can hook up 2 solar arrays at 145v each?
Hi @waveformscience, when will you upload ac70, ac180p and ac180 comparison video? Will be soon? Thanks!
AC70 is testing currently. AC2A will be out first, then AC70 after that one.

If possible, please review AC70!
I would be happy if there was a THD graph!
I've added that to my list for the AC70 video :)
Thanks for the reply.

@@user-jk7ru7eu2d The AC70 is still in testing. I’m expecting at least a couple of weeks for it to complete the testing series.
@@WaveformScience I mistakenly thought the video had already been uploaded. I look forward to the completion!
Can you put extra batteries in this system?
