Pros
- Up to 25% efficient N-Type TOPCon cells — the highest efficiency in this lineup
- BLUETTI markets it as 40% smaller and 28% lighter than traditional 500W panels
- IP67 water-resistant rating
- Folds down to a relatively compact 22.4 x 17.5 x 3.3 in for its wattage class
Cons
- $799 is a significant investment compared to smaller panels in this batch
- Unfolded length of 100 in still makes it awkward for one person to deploy
- Newer SORA product line carries less of a track record than BLUETTI's established PV series
