Do not use solar panels with open circuit voltage higher than 60V. Solar input voltage rangefor the unit is DC 12V~60V. Click to expand... I would hook them up to those Y cables. The plugs have polarity and you can see the red positive and the black on the combiner cables (Y cables). Then find the MC4 to DC plug (called the solar charging cable in the manual) and that goes into the Bluetti AC180. Plug in the sucker!
