LightHarvest Solar in Coburg, OR, specializes in lithium-based off-grid solar projects throughout this great country, from our state of Oregon to the east coast. We'll help you design the perfect system for your home..
Perfect for small RV/Conversion Vans
Designing a system for a Sprinter/Van conversion? You are going to need 12vdc power to go along with the 3,840W of 120/240vac. To meet the real needs of RVers and overlanders, BLUETTI designed the Hub D1 with an industry-first 12 V/50 A (24 V/25 A) Anderson port for high-load DC appliances. Coupled with common USB, cigarette lighter, and DC5521 ports, you can power phones, diesel heaters, water pumps, and more on your RV or Van.
Full Size RV's
For full size RV's and 5th wheeler, BLUETTI offers the RV5. A powerful system designed to allow for 50A input direct from your transfer switch and 42A of 120VAC out to either your existing panel or into the BLUETTI EPanel to get app control of both AC and DC circuits. With an impressive 12V 100A or 24v 60A output the BLUTTI RV-5 can power heavy DC loads.
Why Homeowners Choose BLUETTI
Dual Voltage (120V/240V)
Power everything from electronics to well pumps, electric dryers, and air conditioners. True 240V support handles heavy-duty appliances common in Oregon homes.

Expandable Capacity
Start with 2.76kWh and scale up to 100kWh by adding expansion batteries. Your investment grows with your needs—no need to oversize day one. Multiple expansion batteries options available.
Large Solar options
The BLUETTI Apex 300 has 2 MPPT solar controllers capable of 1200W each but with a low Voltage limit of 60V each. That's plenty for camping or for emergency back up but lacking if you are trying to power your whole home.
The BLUETTI SolarX 4K offers you the option of installing up to 4200 watts of solar with a voltage limit of 500 VDC. This Gives you the ability to really be independent and prepaired.
We have had our hands on one of these units and are very impressed. It was very easy to install and updated,
You simply plug the cord into the auxiliary battery port and you are up and charging. You will need to install a
Portable Solar Panels
Understanding Portable Solar Panel Voltage & Amps
Bluetti mttp solar controllers are sometime difficult to match panels to. While some are rated 10v to 60v, other are capable of accepting from 35v to 150v. What 100W, 200W, and 400W Panels Really Deliver When choosing portable solar panels for your RV, cabin, or backup power system, wattage is only part of the story. To properly match panels with your power station or MPPT charge controller, you need to understand voltage (V) and current (amps). Here’s what you can expect from today’s most common portable folding solar panels. 🔆 100 Watt Portable Solar Panels Typical Electrical Specs: Operating Voltage (Vmp): 18–20V Operating Current (Imp): 5–6A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 21–24V Best For: Small power stations, battery charging, overlanding setups, and supplemental RV charging. A 100W panel is considered “12V nominal,” meaning it’s designed to charge 12V battery systems through an MPPT controller. It’s lightweight, portable, and easy to deploy — perfect for weekend trips. 🔆 200 Watt Portable Solar Panels Typical Electrical Specs: Operating Voltage (Vmp): 18–23V Operating Current (Imp): 9–11A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 22–26V Best For: Mid-size power stations, extended RV trips, vanlife setups, and faster battery recovery. A 200W panel typically doubles the amperage of a 100W panel while staying in the same voltage range. That means faster charging without increasing system voltage. 🔆 400 Watt Portable Solar Panels 400W panels are where things start to vary. There are two common designs: Standard High-Output (Lower Voltage, Higher Amps) Operating Voltage (Vmp): 36–41V Operating Current (Imp): 10–13A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 44–50V High-Voltage Design (Better for Large Power Stations) Operating Voltage (Vmp): 48–60V Operating Current (Imp): 8–10A Open Circuit Voltage (Voc): 60–75V Best For: Large solar generators, whole-RV systems, off-grid cabins, and high-capacity battery banks. High-voltage panels are ideal when paired with power stations that accept higher MPPT input ranges (often up to 150V or more). They reduce wire losses and improve efficiency on larger systems. Why Voltage & Amps Matter for Your Solar Setup ✔ Voltage must stay within your MPPT controller’s input range. ✔ Amps determine how fast your batteries charge. ✔ Watts = Volts × Amps A mismatch between your panel voltage and your power station’s MPPT range can limit performance — or prevent charging altogether.
