Going solar, while commendable, can also be pretty expensive. That’s true whether you’re going with a smaller system and just a couple of panels, or a much larger one with lots of panels — like mounting them on the roof of your home. Usually, the long-term cost savings, and sometimes the credit incentives, offset that cost, but it’s not something you’ll see right away. So, one of the best times to grab a system is when there’s a deep sale, but that doesn’t happen too often. Well, now it has, and there’s a lot to choose from thanks to Bluetti.

Bluetti’s first entry in the solar market, the AC200 MAX power station, was a huge success, selling out constantly, as many pined for its wonderfully reliable support. The team has since released many products to market, and they’re all on sale for Black Friday. If you’ve been waiting for this opportunity, now’s your chance to get an amazing deal on a solar power station and generator. You can ditch your gas generator, or just go with something much more efficient and environmentally-friendly.

Below, you’ll find the answers to all of your pressing questions. Why choose Bluetti? Who needs a solar power station, and why? What models are on sale, and how much can you expect to save? If you already know the answers to those questions, or just want to browse the Bluetti Black Friday deals, you can do that, as well. Keep reading to learn our top picks and more!

The best Bluetti Black Friday deals on solar generators

Why should you buy a solar generator?

As a brief introduction, solar panels can be connected to a power delivery system, or battery, to charge or deliver electricity through solar energy. The panels collect the energy and convert it into electricity, which can be used to power devices, your home, and much more.

Not unlike gas generators, solar generators run or charge using converted electricity — from solar panels — to power whatever you have connected to them. They don’t use gas, however, they produce no emissions, and they’re much quieter. They also tend to be a lot lighter than gas generators, and they’re also low maintenance.

Those properties mean solar generators are better for the environment, especially since they produce no emissions. They’re also much more portable, they can be used just about anywhere, and because they’re quiet that introduces a lot of new opportunities for use, as well. Running them at night isn’t a big deal, for example, and yes, that’s possible.

The biggest benefit, however, is that solar energy is cheap, readily available, and accessible always. It’s a common misconception that on cloudy days solar panels or solar generators don’t charge, but they still do, just at slower rates than times when there’s direct sunlight.

Why Bluetti?

Bluetti’s solar generators are better described as power stations. You can think of them as large portable power packs — like the ones you plug your phone or tablet into to get more battery life. Of course, they’re much more powerful, have much larger capacities, and can power anything from small appliances to electronics and beyond.

Bluetti’s AC200 Max, for instance, can power a 2000-Watts coffee maker for 68 to 70 cups worth of brewing time. It can also power an electric grill for up to an hour, an air conditioner for 3 to 7 hours, and a light for over 50 hours.

They charge, not just by solar energy and with solar panels, but also via wall outlets, AC power, and even a combination — some models can charge via outlets and solar simultaneously.

They’re portable and relatively lightweight so you can bring them camping, on road trips, use them around your home, and anywhere you need power but don’t have access to a traditional outlet.

But the best part is that they cost a fraction of what traditional generators do, and they cost much less to charge and keep operational too, as they don’t need fuel. What’s more, Bluetti is offering some pretty amazing Black Friday deals, which you’ll see below.

Roborock Black Friday deals: Part 1 (yes there’s a sequel coming)
Roborock S8 Max Ultra starting clean with dock nearby

Look, if I have to write deal posts all day we might as well have a little fun. What's more fun than jotting down my thoughts? Saving money. Probably not where you thought I was going with that one. Regardless, Roborock has some excellent Black Friday deals floating around which we're going to sort through and highlight. This is part one which means another deal feature is coming. Lucky you. At any rate, let's get into it and just know, now's the best time to save on smart home tech.

Before we dive in, did you know that Roborock actually sent a robot vacuum into the cold reaches of outer space? The vacuum in question was actually the S8MaxV Ultra, the one and same included in the Black Friday deals below. It made it into outer space, remained operational with several features activated, and made it back to Earth all in working order. Pretty impressive. It was an amazing achievement, but perhaps even more amazing, right now, are these deals.

Travelers: Come one, come all for these Bluetti Black Friday hauls
BLUETTI Elite 200 V2 portable power station deal -- hero

If you've been paying attention, and I'm sure you have, you already know that a bunch of BLUETTI Black Friday deals have dropped, including on its latest Elite 200 V2 portable power station, and more gear like the Charger 1. But if you thought it all ended there, you were mistaken. There's a lot more on offer this year and now's a great time to stock up on portable power, accessories -- like solar panels -- and much more. See, the idea is to make sure you have home backup and off-grid power before any big events happen. Before all those hurricanes and tornadoes and big storms. Being from Florida myself, I know better. But either way, you should consider these deals and I highly recommend grabbing something, so let's get into it.

As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.

BLUETTI Charger 1 visualization of it connected to power station in back of jeep

Continuing coverage of BLUETTI Black Friday deals, including one of its latest portable power stations the Elite 200 V2, we have a few more callouts worth taking a look at. Where before the main focus was home battery backup or a solid portable power option for off-grid, these deals are smaller in scope. The BLUETTI AC180 solar portable power station, for instance, features a 1,152-watt-hour capacity, which is not nearly as massive as what you get with the Elite 200 V2, but that's the point. It's manageable, has 11 outlets to power multiple devices simultaneously, and has a built-in MPPT charge controller and 500-watt solar input for fast charging via solar. It's best for use on the go or on the road, just like the BLUETTI Charger 1.

Enough about the gear, let's talk about those deal prices. As an aside, right now you can use code DT01 for an extra 5% discount on top of all sale prices. That code is exclusive to Digital Trends readers and applicable to all products on BLUETTI's website.
