What is SolarX 4K? Unlocking Next-Level Solar Charging with BLUETTI

SolarX 4K
22/09/2025

If you’ve ever wished your solar system could do more — charge faster, handle bigger solar arrays, or keep your home or RV powered with less worry — BLUETTI’s SolarX 4K solar charger controller is the answer.

1. What is BLUETTI SolarX 4K

The SolarX 4K is a high-power MPPT solar charge controller that brings up to 4,000 watts of solar charging power into your BLUETTI system. It’s like a turbocharger for your solar setup: plug in more panels, capture more energy, and convert it into safe, usable power for your batteries.

Unlike standard inputs (which often max out around 12V–60V), the SolarX 4K accepts high-voltage solar arrays up to 500V, making it a game-changer for anyone who wants serious solar independence. Whether you’re powering a tiny cabin, an RV, or a whole household backup system, SolarX 4K ensures you can harvest more sunlight and put it to work.

2. Why BLUETTI Designed SolarX 4K

The idea started with a challenge. BLUETTI’s Apex 300 is one of the most versatile power stations on the market, but its built-in solar input wasn’t enough for users with larger needs. Families, off-grid enthusiasts, and RV travelers wanted a way to:

  • Use bigger solar panels (not just small 12V–60V inputs).
  • Charge faster, so batteries don’t run out during cloudy days or heavy usage.
  • Expand their system for household-scale power, not just camping trips.

That’s where the SolarX 4K comes in. By handling voltages from 150V to 500V and delivering up to 4 kW of charging power, it unlocks the potential of larger solar arrays and turns BLUETTI systems into true home and off-grid energy solutions.

3. Is It Safe? Absolutely.

When you’re working with high-voltage solar power, safety matters as much as performance. SolarX 4K was designed with a fully isolated circuit system, which means the high-voltage side of your solar panels is completely separated from the low-voltage side that connects to your batteries and electronics.

Here’s why that’s important:

  • No electric shock risks – the system protects you even if you’re using 500V solar arrays.
  • No fault propagation – if something goes wrong on the solar panel side (like a surge or bad wiring), it won’t damage your batteries or chips.
  • No ground loop issues – prevents hidden electrical currents that can cause data loss, noise, or chip failures.
  • Meets global standards – certified for UL 1741, IEC 62109, and EN 61010, so it’s ready for residential and professional use worldwide.

In short: SolarX 4K is built like professional-grade equipment, but designed for everyday users.

4. What Makes SolarX 4K Stand Out

Beyond safety and raw power, the SolarX 4K comes with features that make it flexible and future-proof:

  • Massive Solar Input – Up to 4,200W input and 4,000W output, perfect for large setups.
  • Wide Voltage Range – Accepts 150V–500V from solar panels, making it compatible with both residential and portable solar systems.
  • Scalable Design – Use a single SolarX 4K for smaller setups, or link three units for a 12 kW solar powerhouse.
  • Smart Monitoring – Bluetooth, WiFi, and CAN connectivity let you track performance and manage energy in real time.
  • Universal Compatibility – Works with BLUETTI’s Apex 300, AC300, AC500, and battery packs like the B300, B300K, and B300S. (Important Note: SolarX 4K does not support multi-AC300 or multi-AC500 parallel configurations (e.g., “2 × AC500 + expansion batteries” or “2 × AC300 + expansion batteries”).

With efficiency rates up to 99%, SolarX 4K ensures you get the most out of every ray of sunshine.
