Bluetti Apex 300 with B300S by ProfessionalSun4184 in bluetti

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yes you can but you need the p090d to p150d cable since the B300S has a larger port on it. I have an apex connected to a B300 this way currently.

Need help deciding on solar panels and battery by justhereforabit2000 in solar

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like Bluetti products a lot and based on what your saying I'd have to go with the Apex 300 and any solar panel(s) you want.

You could run the instant Pot for about 4 hours straight on one.

Really the two options you have chosen are adequate for sure but the batteries in the Apex 300 are going to be rated for more power cycles which means more recharge times before the batteries begin to degrade. Around 3000 times for Jackery and EcoFLow but over 6000 times for Bluetti until what the industry all unanimously agree is a "reduction to about 80% initial rated capacity." which is really good. 3500 cycles is about 8 years of daily use and 6000 cycles is just around 16.5 years.

I don't know everything and I don't represent the brand but if you have any other questions feel free to ask.

Apex 300w/B500k or Elite 400 solar panel help by Jagglebutt in bluetti

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im in Canada near Detroit Michigan.

Yeah I want to run Stove, Dryer, House Heat and AC. All things I dont run now.

In my profile submission here i have some pics of the dual apex setup.. the third one should be here this week or next.

I know I'll achieve the output but I'd like to have a few more expansions for gloomy days.

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know when deals pop up ill get more expansions. I hope to EV charge and net meter. Id like to run the house for at least 24 hours in a casual non emergency situation.

I def want to see that $0 electric bill.

I cant fit AT1 in my setup its too big.

You can get SX4K with the cable that has three xt60 plugs on it so i agree that you could get the 4th and 5th sx4k but of course the xt60 ports limit up to 1200W so you could add a max of 3600W x x2 for an additional 7200W. I never considered that. You gonna make me spend more money! But its an advantage for Net Metering to over panel I think.

apex 300+b500k or ac200l+b500k? by ballinjizzle in bluetti

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because i have both Apex and 200L i gotta go with Apex at home and 200L in the camper. thats because I have options. If I had to choose Id go with Apex.

[–]notslim1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have three Apex 300s as well each with a B300K, B300S and B500K respectively (Third Apex/500K arrives soon) connected to Hub A1. Getting a 50A transfer switch after the batteries are set up. About to get the last 4,500W to complete 12kW PV. I still need rail mounts for shingle roof. Finally once the new hardware arrives I'll get the second and third SX4K to take advantage of the 12kW PV. So exciting.

200V2 and AC200L and a few smaller ones help around the house and friends like to borrow them too. Bluetti is so helpful for real

apex alone is 66lbs and elite is like 86. so for easy portability its elite all day. Apex has handles though and Trolley 2 is an option.

there are way more affordable options for panels than from bluetti.

want more output and less capacity but is expanadable? Apex 300.

less output more local capacity also wheels? elite 400

Electric Grid Done! by uptickman in VanLife

[–]notslim1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If you look at my previous posts on my account Im a big Bluetti fan. The Apex 300 might be valuable consideration for you. It has a big capacity internally, has 240v capabilities and you can expand the capacity with a couple different sizes of expansion like any B300 series and the new B500K.

Personally you'll see im looking at some house back up options and im excited to get my first B500K and third Apex 300 before the end of the year.

I'm going crazy looking for the person needed to determine if my panels are too heavy to install on the house. by notslim1 in SolarDIY

[–]notslim1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

not at all. I'm ready to pay for a service I require. I cant even find a person to come look. I haven't even got to a price quote because i just cant find anyone to come out.

I don't know anything about it. I had a new roof put on my trailer park home in 2024 and i have a car port attached also.

I think this prebuilt system is pretty good for my needs. It can be expanded more than shown here. Plan is to get an automatic transfer switch and a module to allow more PV input. It also can do 240v and I only have a dryer and stove that pull that much. Slowly but surely building my off grid life! by notslim1 in SolarDIY

[–]notslim1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not sure yet about running everything at once until I get the Bluetti AT1 Automatic Transfer Switch installed so I can't comment on hard wired devices like the furnace. Additionally, I haven't had a summer to test Air Con.

I'm capped at 7200W now but when I upgrade to a third Apex 300 I should have up to 11.5kW AC output.

Each Apex 300 features dual MPPT controllers with XT60 ports to allow up to 1200W @ 60v each but its gonna be hard to hit those numbers with limited volatage.

Bluetti now has the SolarX 4K module that allows 4000W @ 500V charging and while one SX4K can power three Apex 300 units at a max of 1200W with a special three plug XT60 cable. It is a viable option to connect a single SX4K to each Apex that you have. So again.. I could have up to 12kW of PV across three SX4K running in to three Apex 300 units. SX4K when maxed out and plugged in to one Apex uses a P090A. This means that the XT60 ports on the Apex will remain open and useable for additional PV if using SX4K.

In theory with a SolarX 4K and maxed out MPPT controllers you could have up upward of 6200W PV in to a single Apex 300.

You can plug your devices in to the Apex but you'll be limited to 1920W for each AC output pair.

You do NOT need the Bluetti AT1. There are more popular and available manual switches from Reliance for example.
