I have the Bluetti AC180 which says it takes a max of 10A however the VDC is between 12V and 60V @ 500W max. Would this panel be suitable and operate with the AC180

This video helps me a lot. I didn't think I would need the case for mounting but with my limited patio space, I see the benefits of being able to move it around. It's always helpful, at least for me, to see it in use.

I am very impressed on how very well made this solar panel is. Take my money Ecoflow.

Ecoflow just showed us another game changing solar panel. I love it.

The can trick to get a good solar angle is super helpful. Thank you

Loved the subtle kickstand reference

Fwiw, mine showed 225w a couple of days ago when connected to a Delta 2. I was pleasantly surprised. Then after an hour without moving it, it showed about 217 minimum. Best I could get tweaking the position was 221.

Great video and info. Recently purchased a Delta and a River Max along with two 110w panels. In the UK I had the two panels in series on the Delta and was pulling in 152w. Not ideal conditions but pleased with the results. Tempted by this Bifaced 220w panel as both Ecoflow units can take that one panel in. They don't recommend running different panels in series. The 220w would be used at home and the a 110 panel whilst camping.

I had picked up an Allpowers 200W and wasn't really happy with it, stumbled on this video and saw that Amazon had it on sale temporarily for around $370 after a coupon (using the camel site they've done this before a few times), immediately jumped on it. This thing is heavy, but I prefer how rigid and durable it is. I plan on repurposing tent poles to use as a stand and cut a piece of tyvek into a reflective surface to place under the panel to maximize the bifacial capability... they should all be able to fit into the case!

What is the difference in output when you added the reflective Mylar blankets vs without them?

Would be interesting to see it tested against a reflective background (in front of a white wall or something). I'm thinking on a boat.. With a white deck and reflectiv water in the background..

Coming to the party late and didn't read every comment made during the past year so I don't know if anyone mentioned using one or more of those life-saving emergency mylar blankets to use as a reflective surface around the rear of the panel to increase the wattage coming from the back. They are very inexpensive and so thin that they could be folded back up and stuck in the carrying case no problem. I just bought 2 Delta 2 units and 2 of these bifacial panels to use when camping. I'm not going to be carrying large heavy mirrors around with me in the woods, but I'll certainly have some aluminum foil and a couple of those mylar blankets with me on such trips. Could be a very inexpensive way to increase the wattage. I see you have a part 2 to this review and several people already mentioned using something more reflective to kick start the rear of the panels. Perhaps that was what you review in part 2. I hope so and am going to watch it in a few. Thanks for these informative posts.

Thanks for the review! Issues I have with all of these fabric panels is that dogs LOVE TO PEE on solar panels and rain isn't these solar panels' favorite thing. We all know that camping adventures usually means dogs are going to be there. I wish they could find different materials to use on these ultra light solar panel units to be more of a care-free design. Overall, I think this solar panel design is pretty poor. The hard frame designs from others like especially Renogy (I like their partially-hard molded case that's super easy to use,) are true set and forget units that handle the any weather, dog pee, and don't cast shadows upon themselves.

Thanks for the 2-part review... to me it seems though, that the 220W bifacial solar panel has a pretty poor performance compared to my old bluetti sp/pv200 - with that I also got the 180 watts but at a much lower price point...

It is stated by the manufacturer that the panel will get different power on the back from different reflective surfaces. I bought one the other day and planned to lay an auto sunshade (The reflective silver type) behind it. Have you considered that when the sun is high, not use the kickstand, but instead, somehow lay the panel flat and elevate it a bit so you can take advantage of the backside?

How about just a white painted surface behind? White reflects all light spectrum 🤔

These are nice panels, but pricey. I have 2 of them, both purchaced as a bundle and on sale (delta 2 max and river 2 pro). Don't think I would buy them at full price on their own. They seem to be high quality and the portability if you need it is a nice feature.

considering the higher price of this panel for a 220w panel (is putting out barely over 80% at optimum angle) which is only about 10% more efficient than most standard one sided panels operating at about 70% efficiency typical. So paying extra for the "bifacial" side is only getting you 10% better efficiency it seems. I'd luv to drop a blanket on the front side and see what the rear side's total output actually is? Seems gimmicky for an extra 10% efficiency vs the extra price tag.

You have been very helpful with the reviews of Eco generators. So much so, that I have 2 Delta Max, 2 batteries, 2 River Pro and 2 batteries. Also 3 solar panels. Can you recommend the appropriate length for cables going from the generator to the panels? Keep up the excellent work!!
