Solar Panel Bluetti Salokams 200W 20.5V (OCV 26.1V) — portable foldable PV panel for power stations

The Bluetti Salokams 200W foldable solar panel is a portable photovoltaic module designed for charging Bluetti power stations and compatible inverters. With a nominal voltage of 20.5 V and an open-circuit voltage of 26.1 V, this panel provides a compact off-grid energy source that can be deployed for camping, RV trips, emergency backup, and other mobile power needs. The panel folds for transport and unfolds to deliver up to 200 watts of solar input through MC4-compatible connectors, enabling straightforward integration with a range of battery stations and charge controllers.

Advantages

The Bluetti Salokams 200W panel combines high power density with portability, offering a balance between output and ease of transport. Its foldable design reduces storage volume and protects the cells during transit. MC4-compatible outputs simplify connection to many inverters and charge controllers without the need for specialized adapters. The panel's voltage characteristics are appropriate for common 12V/24V charging systems when used with compatible MPPT or PWM charge controllers and Bluetti input specifications.

Suitable for

• Camping and outdoor recreation where a lightweight portable solar source is required
• Recreational vehicles and boats for supplemental charging while stationary or during limited sun exposure
• Emergency backup charging for power stations, lights, and communication devices
• Mobile work sites and field operations needing temporary photovoltaic power

Key specifications

• Nominal power: 200 W (maximum power output under standard test conditions)
• Nominal voltage: 20.5 V
• Open-circuit voltage (Voc): 26.1 V
• Connector type: MC4-compatible outputs for standard photovoltaic connections
• Form factor: Foldable/portable panel assembly for compact storage and transport

How to use

Unfold the panel and position it on a stable, flat surface with the photovoltaic side facing the sun. Adjust the tilt and orientation to maximize direct sunlight during peak solar hours. Connect the MC4-compatible outputs to the compatible input of a Bluetti power station or to an inverter/charge controller that accepts MC4 connections; ensure polarity is correct before completing the connection. Monitor the charging input on your power station and follow the station’s charging guidelines. Fold and store the panel after it has cooled and when not in use.

Usage recommendations

For optimal charging performance, place the panel in direct sunlight, avoid shading across the cells, and clean the panel surface periodically with a soft cloth and mild detergent. Use a compatible MPPT charge controller or the manufacturer-recommended input on Bluetti power stations to ensure efficient power transfer and to protect connected batteries. Allow some margin for temperature and irradiance variations when estimating charging times.
