Understanding Solar Compatibility with the Yeti Pro 4000
MPPT Range & Why It Matters
The Yeti Pro 4000 accepts solar input between 13.3V and 145V (MPPT range). Panels with Vmp below 13.3V won't start charging — the MPPT controller can't lock on. Panels with Vmp above 145V may damage the input circuit. This generator has a secondary solar input (13.3–28V) for lower-voltage panels.
Cold Weather Voltage Safety
We apply a 1.2x safety margin to each panel's open-circuit voltage (Voc) to account for cold temperatures, when solar cells produce higher voltage. The Yeti Pro 4000's maximum input voltage is 145V. Any panel whose Voc x 1.2 exceeds 145V is flagged as a voltage danger. 20 of 20 panels pass this safety check.
Cables & Adapters for the Yeti Pro 4000
The Yeti Pro 4000 uses a Proprietary solar input connector. This generator uses a proprietary connector from Goal Zero. Check the manufacturer's adapter options for third-party panels. 18 of 20 panels require an adapter with this unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any solar panel with the Goal Zero Yeti Pro 4000?
No. The Yeti Pro 4000 requires panels with Vmp between 13.3V and 145V, and cold-weather Voc (Voc x 1.2) under 145V. Of the 20 panels we tested, 20 are fully compatible, 0 work with limitations, and 0 are incompatible.
How long does it take to charge the Yeti Pro 4000 with solar?
With the fastest compatible panel (Anker SOLIX PS400 Portable Solar Panel (400W), 400W delivered), the Yeti Pro 4000 (3993.6Wh) charges in approximately 14.3 hours under real-world conditions (70% derate for angle, clouds, and temperature). The slowest compatible option (Jackery SolarSaga 80W Solar Panel) takes approximately 71.3 hours.
Do I need an adapter for solar charging the Yeti Pro 4000?
The Yeti Pro 4000 uses a Proprietary connector. 18 of 20 panels require an adapter. The remaining panels connect directly via Proprietary.
What is the secondary solar input on the Yeti Pro 4000?
The Yeti Pro 4000 has two solar input ports. The primary accepts 13.3–145V; the secondary accepts 13.3–28V. Lower-voltage panels that can't reach the primary's minimum are automatically matched to the secondary port.
