Let's assume:
- your solar panel can charge this thing to full every day (200w panels can reasonably do this on many days of the year, but not every day)
- you get one full charge and discharge out of this every day (1 kWh)
- and that electricity costs you 30 cents/kWh.
- You therefore "save" 30 cents/day running this thing on solar
Break even in 1833 days, or 5 years. Guarantee you won't go through the inconvenience of solar charging this and running it to your load to save 30 cents a day.
Hardly "free power", and to the guy thinking you need a ton of electronics for solar - what do you think you're buying with this power station?
Still, this is a great deal for someone needing something like this. The question is, do you actually need it? It'll be just a toy for most people, used maybe 2-3 times a year for camping, or running your electronics when the power goes out. If your power tends to go out for more than 24 hours at a time, perhaps you need this to keep your stuff frozen. Or maybe you need an oversized uninterruptible power supply. I dunno.
I like to carry a PS around that can run everything(1500w+) but small capacity because I can bring a 12v battery if I need the extra capacity which is why the high transfer rate is important.
The Pecron E1000lfp has been my top 1500w+/1000wh highly portable power station because of this but I think this Bluetti 100 V2 is the new king at this price of $379.
This is an introductory price as it will ship end of July and the normal price is $599 I think.
I think Bluetti has a function in the app where to can get the full 20a at 12v. I thin HoboTech got around 230w.
If I can verify that it can do 230w on 12v, I will get one. Was going to get the Pecron E1000 but I hate their support.
I think Bluetti has the edge right now with their introductory price.
Both the Pecron E1000lfp and the Bluetti 100 V2 can be bought for $379 right now.
The Pecron has these advantages.
- $379 TOTAL no taxes on Pecron site. Bluetti will be ~$410.
- Solar port can be charged at 20a. 12v battery will charge the unit ~265w. The 100v2 might allow 20a at 12v. Need confirmation.
- Has expandable port.
- Has DC output at 20 amps.
- Can warm the battery.
The Bluetti has these advantages.
- Battery user capacity. ~930w vs 880w for Pecron
- Smaller in size and weight. 25lbs vs 29lbs. Every lbs helps.
- Better warranty 5 yrs vs 3 yrs.
- Higher charging for AC and Solar.
- Better CS support. I haven't had to use Bluetti but I have used Pecron and Pecron is horrendous. Bluetti can't be worst.

I am trying to understand the statements in bold about 12V. Are you saying the Pecron can be "expanded" by just connecting an additional 12V battery to solar inputs? And the Bluetti might be able to as well? If not how are you thinking you can bring a 12v battery along to expand power?
Thanks

Sadly every time I get more power backup wife gives me the dirty eyes not understanding this is insurance against spoiled food, no Internet or flood basement.
Thanks
Pretty much all power station can be expanded by just connecting a 12v-48v battery to the solar port.
The main problem with connecting a 12v is the input rate is very low. Usually under 100w.
Most of this is because if they allow the full 20 amps, it should blow the car socket fuse.
If you connect a 24v or 48v, you wouldn't have the same problem.
Pecron has a switch 8a/20a. When you have it on 20a, you get around 265w for a 12v battery vs under 100w.
This Bluetti has an option too in its app. I'm still trying to confirm if it does allow more than 100w on 12v.

Solar have become an addiction for me.
You buy this for anytime you need electricity and there's not an outlet around because this is highly portable and at 1800w, it can run just about everything.
And of course super helpful when the power goes down.
