Description
- [Higher Efficiency] – This 350-watt solar panel is inner-wired in parallel and comes with a high conversion efficiency of up to 23.4%, making it performs better than the market average even in low-light conditions or with shading on it.
- [Easy Set-Up & Flexible] – A folded size of 35.6 x 24.1 inches and 30.6 lbs of weight makes the PV350 convenient to carry around, while you can easily set up the solar panel to catch the sunlight more effectively.
- [Durable & Splashproof] – With long-lasting ETFE material on the surface, this 350w solar panel is more durable and easy to clean by wet cloth. The IP65 standard will protect it from water splashing (Do not place it under the rain or soak in water).
- [Wide Compatibility] – Equipped with the MC4 connector, BLUETTI PV350 solar panel is highly compatible with most solar generators on the market, especially works well with BLUETTI AC200P/AC200MAX/AC300/EP500/EB240/EB150 power station.
- [What You Get] – BLUETTI PV350 solar panel, user manual.

I have three of these Bluetti PV350 solar panels. They work very well together. I was very pleased to discover that the MC4 cables attached to these panels are long enough to allow for directly connecting all three in series and then not needing any sort of jumper cable to finish the connection to the 8-gauge MC4 PV cable that I use to run to my safe indoor site for the battery pack. When I connect the panels in series, I position the panel attachment cables from the first and third panels to the center of the second panel. All the connections are then easily made with one cable (negative) from the first panel and one cable from the third panel (positive) connecting to the long cable pair that I have going back to the protected site where I have my Bluetti battery pack. The total length of the solar panel attachment cables is 10 feet, with the first 6.5 feet in one common cable and then for the last 3.5 feet, the positive and negative cables are separate. With two panels in series, I was receiving an average of 600 wats sustained and when I went to all three panels, the sustained average was 800 watts. I use an 8 gauge 100-foot-long PV cable made by Windy Nation and sold by Amazon. I do own some larger wattage fixed panels that I will eventually put into use, but I will only buy portable panels in the future. The possibilities of hail damage or theft have caused me to lose interest in rigidly fixed panels.

I usually get under 100W with this product but it gets the job done.

Thinner than I expected which is not a bad thing. Easily folds out with a good amount of cable so I can keep my Bluetti 180 away out of the direct sun. Be advised that gettig a 150W panel set will not get you the full 150. Even in the sunniest of conditions (and hot) I got a maximum of 105W. This took about 5 hours to charge my 180 unit from 51% to 100%.

Pannello da 120 super professionale compatibile con tutti i prodotti bluetti niente a che vedere con quelli che si trovano che costano un po’ meno ma se va bene rendono la metà possibilità di collegare più pannelli tra di loro. Acquisto consigliatissimo lasciate stare il resto. Tempi di consegna un po’ lunghi perché arriva direttamente dalla casa madre ma vale la pena aspettare. Servizio Amazon come sempre impeccabile.

I originally tried to return this item to MAXOAK UK but they supplied a totally incorrect returns address to me via Amazon. The return cost me a significant amount and when it was sent back to me by the parcel carrier I duly tried to contact MAXOAK UK to arrange a refund and arrange collection because the mistake was of their making. They ignored my emails and my phone calls went straight to voicemail. I subsequently gave up and kept the item, which I suspect is what they hoped I would do.

I am extremely disappointed in this item. It’s a solar panel, you use it outside in the sun. They recommend it not get wet. Using this item in full sun takes over 7 hrs to charge the Bluetti AC200 MAX generator. The generator isn’t effective either.

The PV350 is a solid panel but there are some design flaws. 1. The leg stands are too flexy and I believe over time they will fail, particularly in extreme heat situations which will max them out. I think they are using some sort of plastic which tends to be less tolerant of heat. 2. 30lbs is not for the faint of muscle, this is a heavy panel to lug around. 3. If you are using this as a charger for the Bluetti Ac200P/L or Ac200Maxx using (3) of these Pv350 means you’ll charge in about 4 hours on a good day. 3. (NO) Grommets to hand these panels from YIKES! 4. On the AC200L your max solar input is 1200 Watts. You might do better to find (3) 400 watt panels that stay within the specs of volts and amps to max out your charging capacity. This will reduce charging to 2.5 hours (on sunny day). I bought 3 of the PV350’s They are a bit on the expensive side but well made with the noted exceptions. I would give this a rated 4 on my 1to5 scale of buys. With the caveat, (Good Buy) a five rating would merit a Solid Buy*

It works as advertised and because I got it on sale its value for the money was good (for me) but its regular price seems high. It’s heavier than it looks, the blue handle’s long term durability is unknown. Now, to the good things…
The highest wattage I was able to capture while using it was 179W; normally I am getting 164-166 in full sun with the panel properly positioned against the sun. It has internal parallel wiring meaning that its performance in partial shade will be better than many competitors’ panels wired in series.
I saw some mentioning that it had panels made by SunPower, a premium manufacturer of solar panels with high efficiency, but there is no indication of that on the packaging.
Note that although this panel is of folding type it’s still too bulky for many applications and carrying around. If that bothers you there are so called solar blankets sold by other manufacturers that are more compact but costing much more.

This panel the PV120D 120watt panel exceeded my expectations for power output and easy setup. I like the adjustable legs and I love that they put 3 of them on it and in decent locations to keep it stable. It is a little larger than I expected but that is my fault for not fully reading the dimensions. Now like several others have mentioned the blue plastic handle is the letdown. Don’t try to carry it that way unless you wrap some duct tape around it to hold the thing together, even then you might have an issue with it failing. They put a cheap plastic handle on a great panel, I guess if you are going to skimp on something, might as well do it on a non critical part. I did a little testing on this and I managed to get it to 90 watts delivered to my Jackery 240 solar generator, and it got 105 watts to my shell 500 PowerStation. I didn’t even have it properly aligned to the sun and it gave these results. The panel only has MC-4 outputs so I needed a converter to make it work with my brands of generators. That said, the converter is not included, also no USB ports at all which I think is a missed opportunity. I did test out the panel in shade as well. I literally folded the last 2 sections up and it still gave a respectable 35 watts out of the remaining 2 open panels. This is due to the panels being wired in parallel not in series. So if you are in an area where you might get some partial shade on some of the panels this panel will still perform well as opposed to a panel being wired in series that if you shade part of it your power output drops by 80 to 90 percent. The little straps they put on it to keep it closed seem a little weak and the durability and longevity of them is questionable at best. However I just used a bungie cord on my old panel when the straps failed. So I would have given this 5 stars if it wasn’t for the darn handle and the closing straps being of poor quality. Everything else is top notch and like I said before, it’s such a shame to skimp out on the handle and straps. Come on Bluetti I would easily pay more $$ for a better handle that won’t fall apart and better closing straps.
