The Bluetti EB3A specs states:
- OCV: 12-28V
- Input Current: 8.5A MAx
- Input Power 200W Max

If I understand the info from this panel posted in the OP, it should be ok, correct?It's ok - but will suck. It's why people say the panel is not output the correct amount - the panel is fine. Since the panel voltage is 20.2volts and the Bluetti can only take 8.5amps - the max power is 171.7 watts in perfect conditions and usually meaning the perfect angle. You will get about 130watts in real conditions.
You need to look at a higher voltage panel to get max power - not to exceed the 28volt bluetti limit - also you have to factor in voltage rise of the panel in the winter . You never want to exceed voltage - it burns things up - the both devices will self limit amps.
You have to check voltage & amps & watts in both devices - to find ones that play together nice for max power
Panels are really sensitive to angle - at 10am a 200watt panel flat mounted will only do about 90watts - tilt it to a correct angle it will do 175watts.

"So after watching a few reviews on this I have confirmed this myself. The solar input port of the AC180 is 12v-60v at 10 amps. However you will only get the full 10amp from solar IF the volts are above 32v. So if you have a 200w solar panel that operates at 20v and 10 amps you will never ever get the full output with the AC180. The maximum you will ever get from that panel is 160w ( in max conditions) This is a 20% loss and is not advertised anywhere and honestly is absolutely unacceptable. Bluetti's own 200w folding panel will not work properly with the AC180 as it will always be limited to 160w max ( 8amp limit until the volts go above 32v). In fact I don't think there is a portable solar panel on the market at 200w that has volts anywhere near 32v. It's kind of false advertising to be honest. Surely this should be addressed in a firmware update somewhere.
So if everyone is wondering why you are only seeing around 150-155w from your 200w panel this is why. I can only pull a maximum of 154w from my 200w panel but my older EB150 will get 181 watts. Exact same conditions side by side with the same panel. This needs to be fixed"
He's talking about a power station but this is what most people will use it for so a lot of PS MPPT's work this way so that may be why people are getting way less efficiency out of one panel.

I bought a different solar panel and have them charging my batteries in parallel. Always wondered why it wasnt able to do 360w.... after all, 180x2, right? Apparently not.... 232w at 45 degree angles for both of my panels.
Totally lowered my expectations to "as long as this works 8 yrs, I'll be ok"
