The solar input is 12v-60v/20 amp max. Most residential panels will work for this, the normal ~35v to 40v panels connected in parallel will max out at 700w-800w which is enough to charge the powerstation up in a day (4-5 hours of sun) of solar if you aren't pulling large loads. For fixed panels, check facebook marketplace for used deals in your area. I got 360w Qcells for $100 a piece. 2-3 panels will let you max out the input most days if you can position them well. If you want new panels that can ship, four of the eco-worthy 180w bifacials in a 2s2p string for $320, seems like a decent deal. https://slickdeals.net/f/18426586-eco-worthy-bifacial-195-watt-12v-solar-panel-80-free-shipping?utm_term=556173&utm_medium=share&utm_campaign=ddp-simplified-sharing&utm_source=desktop_redesign&utm_content=deal
Portable panels are much more pricey, I'd keep an eye on slickdeals and when a good deal comes up on 200+w, buy two. Keep in mind portable panels aren't intended to be used 24/7, 365 days a year. Most will break down in about 2-3 years if left outside all the time. Go with the residential glass panels if you want to use them constantly.
Also if you are using this in a van/truck/camper, the charger one accessory is $200 now on sale but will charge at 500w while you are driving. For van life a bit of modification to use that in your vehicle will fill your power needs better than most solar panels.
I ordered it. Is it wise to do a break-in test this by charging my EV till the Bluetti is empty? That would damage LiFePo4 cells?Maybe to 20%?
Go for it. Just limit the current draw (on your car) to what the inverter can handle. Lifepo4 are hearty batteries and should last years with constant use.
you might want to limit discharge to 5%. That's what I do on my Bluetti gear and haven't had an issue. When they go to 0 They used to need an DC power supply charge (not mains AC) or solar to wake them back up for some reason. Not sure if that's still the case.

On all of these power stations i always work them extra hard for the first month or so (during the return/refund period) to test them for stability.
Drain 100 to 0 multiple times in this period and it helps put the mind at ease that they will last for many years to come. After this initial period i try and keep them above 20% but do also full drain them every once in a while to make sure the BMS's are keeping good tabs on battery health

what portable and stationery solar panels would you go with these?
