Understanding Solar Compatibility with the Pecron E3600LFP
MPPT Range & Why It Matters
The Pecron E3600LFP accepts solar input between 32V and 150V (MPPT range). Panels with Vmp below 32V won't start charging — the MPPT controller can't lock on. Panels with Vmp above 150V may damage the input circuit. This generator has a secondary solar input (32–150V) 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 Pecron E3600LFP's maximum input voltage is 150V. Any panel whose Voc x 1.2 exceeds 150V is flagged as a voltage danger. 20 of 20 panels pass this safety check.
Cables & Adapters for the Pecron E3600LFP
The Pecron E3600LFP uses a XT60 solar input connector. XT60 is a standard connector shared across many brands. Most third-party panels with XT60 connect directly. 20 of 20 panels require an adapter with this unit.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use any solar panel with the Pecron E3600LFP?
No. The Pecron E3600LFP requires panels with Vmp between 32V and 150V, and cold-weather Voc (Voc x 1.2) under 150V. Of the 20 panels we tested, 3 are fully compatible, 17 work with limitations, and 0 are incompatible.
How long does it take to charge the Pecron E3600LFP with solar?
With the fastest compatible panel (EcoFlow 400W Rigid Solar Panel, 800W delivered), the Pecron E3600LFP (3072Wh) charges in approximately 5.5 hours under real-world conditions (70% derate for angle, clouds, and temperature). The slowest compatible option (Jackery SolarSaga 80W Solar Panel) takes approximately 27.4 hours.
Do I need an adapter for solar charging the Pecron E3600LFP?
The Pecron E3600LFP uses a XT60 connector. 20 of 20 panels require an adapter. The remaining panels connect directly via XT60.
What is the secondary solar input on the Pecron E3600LFP?
The Pecron E3600LFP has two solar input ports. The primary accepts 32–150V; the secondary accepts 32–150V. Lower-voltage panels that can't reach the primary's minimum are automatically matched to the secondary port.
