As a long-time RV enthusiast, I've seen my fair share of power solutions, but nothing quite like the BLUETTI AC300 and B300 battery setup powered by their PV350 solar panel. What a game-changer this ensemble has been for my RV living and off-grid projects.
The beauty of AC300 lies in its 3000W pure sine wave inverter which is expandable up to a staggering 12,288Wh with additional B300 LFP battery packs. This means it can shoulder my electricity needs for days on end during power outages, without a murmur. The versatility of having 16 different ports, including the NEMA TT-30 which is perfect for my travel trailer, is indispensable. And with a 30A RV port, I'm powered up for any vehicle-powered gadgets and necessities.
Now, the fast recharging feature is a real standout. Less than 1.5 hours to juice up with a 30A AC charging cable – talk about efficiency! With the capability to harness 2400W from the PV solar input combined with 1800W AC input, the BLUETTI boldly goes where no portable power has gone before, hitting a max input of 3000W.
Prompted by a desire to keep my RV life and remote cabin project humming along, I tested out their PV350 solar panels. These 350-watt panels are a breeze to set up and are astonishingly light at a little over 30 pounds. Remarkably, even with a touch of shade, they were quick to connect – a simple color match of red to red, black to black, and they were up and running.
In a real testimony to the BLUETTI AC300's capability, I powered up my skill saw – a MAG 77 that runs on 15 amps and devours power. To my surprise and delight, it ran without a hitch, drawing around 930 watts, which showed me just how burly this portable power station is.
Bringing it into the home space, I powered up my cabin's electric fireplace that comes with a built-in heater. Throwing caution to the wind, I cranked it on to witness the AC300 effortlessly manage a flow of 1407 watts. When not in continuous use – similar to an air conditioner cycling on and off – I figured it could keep that fireplace heater running for several hours in an emergency.
The silent operation of the whole setup is like night turned into day compared to my old, noisy generator. This quiet, efficient power source has been powering my RV's fridge, cooking gadgets, and even my coffee machine, ensuring all the comforts without the rumble.
The BLUETTI AC300 and B300 along with the PV350 solar panel aren't just power solutions; they've become my steadfast companions for living, working, and enjoying life off the beaten path. With a LiFePO4 battery boasting 3,500+ life cycles to 80%, and the peace of mind offered by the 24/7 UPS home backup, my off-grid living is more comfortable, reliable, and peaceful than ever before.
