Today we are talking about the Bluetti EB150 portable generator, a 100W solar generator with a 1500Wh battery

Bluetti EB150
The design and build quality of the Bluetti EB150 is very good. It has plastic and metal parts. While the body is metal, the front and back panels and the handle are plastic.
On the front we have a fairly large LCD screen that displays information such as remaining battery level, input and output power (AC and DC in watts). The screen is bright enough to be seen well in direct sunlight.
Besides the screen, we have buttons and DC ports.
The back of the product is equipped with a fan that helps cool the battery during operation. We also have two AC output ports.
The top handle is perfect for carrying. The position of the handle makes it easy to transport like a briefcase. Although it weighs around 16 kg, it is not difficult to carry.
Characteristics
Power.
The Bluetti EB150 has a power of 1000W, which means you can use it for any device under 1000W for at least an hour.
The station has two 1000W AC outlets (110V each) but the combined power consumption cannot exceed 1000W. Otherwise, it will turn off to prevent battery damage.
The fan automatically turns on for cooling when the output power reaches a certain predetermined threshold.
peak capacity
From what I’ve read, this panel doesn’t have surge support. So the 1000W power capacity is the highest it can handle. The output power cannot exceed 1000W even for one second.
battery capacity
The EB150 has a huge battery capacity of 1500Wh. For those unfamiliar with the Wh classification, let’s take an example.
Say you have two devices, a 150W fridge and another 200W media projector.
With the EB150’s 1500Wh battery, you can power the 200W TV for nearly 7 hours, while the fridge lasts for about 8 hours.
Similarly, a 20W bulb can be powered continuously for 3 days. If you use two 20W bulbs, the duration is cut in half, to a day and a half.
solar charge
Having a solar charger is absolutely necessary when you are outdoors. Fortunately, most power stations support solar charging. The Bluetti EB150 generator supports up to 500W of solar input (with MPPT technology) which is very good. Assuming you have 500W and a very sunny day, the EB150 can be fully charged in around 8 hours. Moreover, it automatically stops charging after fully charged.
Ideally, you should use a collapsible solar panel because you can easily transport it from place to place.
charging options
The Bluetti EB150 can be charged via a mains socket or a photovoltaic solar panel.
Full charging via a wall outlet can take around 10 hours. Solar load may vary depending on panel wattage and sunlight. Normally a 500W panel should fully charge in 8 hours as long as the sunlight is perfect.
Screen
It has a basic screen. The measurements you will find on the screen are:
- Battery level.
- Input power (while charging).
- AC and DC power output
Performance
With a huge output of 1000W and a battery capacity of 1500Wh, the Bluetti EB150 can power almost any household equipment, appliances such as TV, oven, electric stove, laptop, toaster and many more. The following image gives you an idea. It is good to keep in mind that the figures are approximate.
The EB150 has a power capacity of 1000W, which means it can power any equipment with a power requirement of 1000W or less.
Strong points.
- It has a higher battery capacity (watt hours).
- It can power almost any device.
- Extremely portable (compared to other generators).
- It has 500W solar panel support.
- It’s affordable.
What’s included?
The generator comes in a large box. The packaging is safe. The accessories come in a separate box which is included in the main packaging itself. If you’re going to be moving it around often, or if you’re going to be storing it for periods of time, I recommend keeping the box so you can repackage it. Inside the box we find the following:
- EB150 solar generator.
- AC wall charger (includes AC input charging cable).
- Solar PV charging cable (7909 to MC4).
- User manual – warranty.
