How heavy is the BLUETTI 350W Solar Panel?
BLUETTI lists the 350W Solar Panel at 30.6 lb. That makes it the heaviest panel here, next to 27.3 lb for the Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel and 23.4 lb for the Renogy 200W N-Type Solar Panel. Both Renogy panels fall in the easy to carry (under 30 lb) weight class.
Weight matters most when you carry a panel far from the car or set it up alone. A lighter panel is easier to lift, move and turn toward the sun as the day goes on.
What voltage and current does the BLUETTI 350W Solar Panel list?
BLUETTI rates the 350W Solar Panel at 37.5 V and 9.2 A at maximum power. Its open circuit voltage is listed at 46.5 V, with a short circuit current of 10.8 A. Check open circuit voltage against the top input voltage of the device you plug into.
When panels are wired in series, their voltages add up, so check the total against that limit first. Parallel wiring adds up current instead. Look for both limits in the manual or spec sheet of the device you plug into.
What warranty comes with the BLUETTI 350W Solar Panel?
BLUETTI lists a warranty of 1 years for the 350W Solar Panel. Keep your proof of purchase in case you need to make a claim.
What does the BLUETTI 350W Solar Panel cost per watt?
The 350W Solar Panel sells for $599.00 at BLUETTI, which works out to $1.71 per watt. On value it ranks #3 of 3 in this article, at $1.711/W at the best current price. The Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel comes in at $1.060/W and the Renogy 200W N-Type Solar Panel at $0.900/W, so both cost less per watt than the BLUETTI panel at $1.711/W.
Price per watt is a simple way to line up panels of different sizes. A higher price per watt may still make sense if a single big panel saves you from wiring up a few small ones.
How does the Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel differ?
The Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel costs less up front, at $264.99 from Renogy against $599.00 for the BLUETTI panel. Renogy lists a module efficiency of 21.2 %. Its voltage at maximum power is lower, as Renogy rates it at 19.52 V and 12.81 A, while BLUETTI rates its panel at 37.5 V and 9.2 A.
Renogy also lists an open circuit voltage of 22.35 V and a short circuit current of 13.49 A. It weighs 27.3 lb, and like the BLUETTI panel it uses an mc4 connector. Lower voltage and higher current change how many panels fit a controller's limits.
Why look at the Renogy 200W N-Type Solar Panel instead?
The Renogy 200W N-Type Solar Panel ranks #1 of 3 on value in this article, at $0.900/W. It sells for $179.99 at Renogy, the lowest price here, against $264.99 for the Renogy 250W N-Type Bifacial Solar Panel and $599.00 for the BLUETTI panel. Its rated output is 200 W, while the BLUETTI panel is rated at 350 W.
Renogy lists its weight at 23.4 lb. Renogy lists 31.03 V and 6.45 A at maximum power, with 37.44 V open circuit and 6.85 A short circuit. The module efficiency Renogy gives is 20.7 %, and the Voc temperature coefficient is -0.26 %/°C.
Cold mornings push panel voltage up, so leave room below your controller's voltage limit.
