Overview & Key Strengths
Why this solar panel
The BLUETTI SORA 500 (500W) Portable Solar Panel is BLUETTI's flagship 500W folding solar array, engineered to match the high-current MPPT inputs of the BLUETTI Apex 300, Elite 200 V2, AC200L, AC300, and AC500.
Because it uses a 38.8V Voc / 33.4V Vmp electrical profile with 15.0A Imp, it stays safely below 60V MPPT limits while delivering a full 500W from a single panel — or up to 2,000W+ when series/parallel chained on high-voltage home backup systems.
- 2026 flagship.
- N-Type TOPCon, 25% efficiency.
- IP67.
- Voc 49.1V / Isc 13.31A.
- Folds to 569×445×84mm.
- Lighter than PV350 at higher output.
- For Apex 300 / Elite 400 / RVSolar.
- US launch $799.

Estimated full-sun charge time

- ~1 h
- Mid station (1,000 Wh)
- ~3.5 h
- Large station (2,000 Wh)
- ~6.5 h
0–100% estimate for one panel in strong, direct sun with good angle. Clouds, haze, shade, and the station's own solar-input limit will slow this down in practice.
