BLUETTI SORA 500 solar panel
500 W. $849 at BLUETTI, checked Oct 11, 2026: $1.70 per watt. It charges 68 of the 105 stations we have solar limits for, 10 of them BLUETTI's. The fastest refill from one input: the Allpowers R3500, 2 in series × 2 strings in parallel, about 1.6 h of full sun.
From BLUETTI's published figures and our own arithmetic; we have not tested it ourselves.

On a -10 °C (14 °F) morning one panel's open-circuit voltage rises to about 55.1 V, by our cautious -0.35% per °C allowance since BLUETTI publishes no coefficient. That is the figure each station's limit is checked against.
Which stations it charges
One input of each station, the arrangement that takes the most with the fewest panels; fastest refill first. MC4 plugs let these panels go in series or parallel.
