Review on BLUETTI PV200 200W Solar Panel: Efficient Power Backup for AC200P/EB70/EB55/AC50S Portable Stations - Perfect for Camping, Emergencies, and Power Outages by Ryan Fuhrer

It's quick and easy to set up.

Finally decided to order a new Bluetti PV200 solar panel. Never bought their earlier panels (SP120 or SP200). The only solar panels I have are Renogy 100w rigid panels. After opening the shipping box (which Revain used for the Bluetti box), I took it out using the handle. The handle is great and feels good in the hand. It has a certain weight but is easy to carry. I then open it to check if the cell is damaged but luckily mine arrived in perfect condition. I opened it all the way to the bottom, checked the stands and how to properly set them up. It's a lot easier if you know what angle to place them at. One of the pictures shows 3 coasters (I don't know why they didn't put the 4th one on, but it works fine with 3). For these photos, I decided to take them inside my house because there was no shade outside and the temperature was hot. Finally it's time to test it on the road. I used my Bluetti EB70, which I've had since this summer. I used to charge it with just one 100w Renogy hard panel (I use six of them for my AC200P) which put out around 80w. As you can see from the photos, it managed to output 153 watts continuously for about 30 minutes (I got 158 watts on the EB70's screen for the first few minutes, but didn't have a cell phone handy to take a picture). then it started to get cloudy and couldn't look anymore. On one of the photos you can see that I got 43 watts from it on a cloudy day. Overall I like the Bluetti PV200 and would recommend it to anyone who asks me. I might buy another one or two in the future to pair with my AC200P. I'm planning a hike with my family in November or December and will be using the EB70 bar all day. I will update my review after the trip.

Pros
