Whether you’re preparing for more frequent power outages or just bringing additional power for trips off the grid, Bluetti’s solar generators can get the job done, and for Black Friday, the company’s systems are on sale for hundreds of dollars off including the AC200MAX and various solar panels.

Bluetti AC200MAX $300 off, solar panels discounted

Bluetti’s lineup includes power stations of various sizes and capabilities, and one great option for generating and storing solar power is the Bluetti AC200MAX, which is discounted by $300 for Black Friday. This system packs 2,048Wh of power that can run plenty of home appliances in the event of a power outage. Bluetti estimates that an 8,000 BTU air conditioner can run for 3-7 hours on the system, with a refrigerator able to run from between 15-28 hours depending on its power draw.

However, the system isn’t limited by just its internal storage. The AC200MAX can be expanded with B230 or B300 battery modules, which can expand the entire setup to be capable of up to a whopping 8,192Wh. The B300 uses high-end LFP power cells that can last 3,500 power cycles, ensuring your solar generator will work for years to come.

To draw power from this system, AC200MAX has four USB-A ports, one 100W USB-C port, two 15W Qi pads, four AC outlets, one NEMA TT-30 outlet, a12V/10A DC 5521 output, and a 12V/10A cigarette lighter port. There’s also a color display that shows the system’s stats, and you can further manage power stats from your phone on Android or iOS apps.

For recharging, AC200MAX can pull power from a traditional generator, AC charging at up to 1000W, and even solar power at up to 900W. Bluetti’s solar system can recharge around 80% of the 2,048Wh battery in as little as two hours. For Black Friday, Bluetti is offering up to 20% off solar panels including the PV120 and PV200 portable solar panels which can be combined to generate additional power for charging up almost any Bluetti system, including the AC200MAX and the similarly specced AC200P.

AC200MAX and Bluetti Solar Panels

For Black Friday, AC200MAX is on sale for $300 off, taking its usual $2,099 price down to $1,899. Bundles can result in even further savings of up to $2,600, too.

Bluetti AC300 + B300 goes $700 off

Another major product Bluetti is discounting for Black Friday is the AC300 system. AC300 can output a whopping 3000W from an attached 3,072Wh B300 battery. Up to four batteries can be connected for a total of 12,288Wh of power storage. It packs a plethora of useful ports including six AC outlets, an RV port, and even 100W USB-C. Plus, like the AC200MAX, power can be managed remotely from your smartphone.

AC300 + B300

For Black Friday, Bluetti is cutting $700 off of its AC300 + B300 bundle, one of the brand’s best deals this holiday season.

Rounding out Bluetti’s Black Friday deals, you can score hundreds of dollars off the company’s more compact and portable batteries.

BST Hyde Park's final day cancelled as Jeff Lynne's ELO pulls out of headline slot

BST Hyde Park festival has cancelled its final night after Jeff Lynne’s Electric Light Orchestra pulled out of the headline slot.

Lynne, 77, was due to play alongside his band on Sunday but has been forced to withdraw from the event following a “systemic infection”.

The London show was supposed to be a “final goodbye” from ELO following their farewell US tour.

Organisers said on Saturday that Lynne was “heartbroken” at being unable to perform.

A statement read: “Jeff has been battling a systemic infection and is currently in the care of a team of doctors who have advised him that performing is simply not possible at this time nor will he be able to reschedule.

“The legacy of the band and his longtime fans are foremost in Jeff’s mind today – and while he is so sorry that he cannot perform, he knows that he must focus on his health and rehabilitation at this time.”

They later confirmed the whole of Sunday’s event would be cancelled.

“Ticket holders will be refunded and contacted directly by their ticket agent with further details,” another statement said.

Stevie Wonder played the festival on Saturday – now its final event of 2025.

ELO was formed in Birmingham in 1970 by Lynne, multi-instrumentalist Roy Wood and drummer Bev Bevan.

They first split in 1986, before frontman Lynne resurrected the band in 2014.

Donald Trump threatens to revoke Rosie O'Donnell's US citizenship

Donald Trump has said he is considering “taking away” the US citizenship of actress and comedian Rosie O’Donnell, despite a Supreme Court ruling that expressly prohibits a government from doing so.

In a post on Truth Social on Saturday, the US president said: “Because of the fact that Rosie O’Donnell is not in the best interests of our Great Country, I am giving serious consideration to taking away her Citizenship.”

He also labelled O’Donnell, who has moved to Ireland, as a “threat to humanity” and said she should “remain in the wonderful country of Ireland, if they want her”.

O’Donnell responded on Instagram by posting a photograph of Mr Trump with Jeffrey Epstein.

“You are everything that is wrong with America and I’m everything you hate about what’s still right with it,” she wrote in the caption.

“I’m not yours to silence. I never was.”

O’Donnell moved to Ireland with her 12-year-old son in January after Mr Trump had secured a second term.

She has said she’s in the process of obtaining Irish citizenship based on family lineage and that she would only return to the US “when it is safe for all citizens to have equal rights there in America”.

O’Donnell and the US president have criticised each other publicly for years, in an often-bitter back-and-forth that predates Mr Trump’s move into politics.

Will Trump address parliament on UK state visit?

This is just the latest threat by the president to revoke the citizenship of someone he has disagreed with, most recently his former ally Elon Musk.

But the two situations are different as while Musk was born in South Africa, O’Donnell was born in the US and has a constitutional right to American citizenship.

Amanda Frost, a law professor at the University of Virginia School of Law, said the Supreme Court ruled in a 1967 case that the fourteenth amendment of the constitution prevents the government from taking away citizenship.

“The president has no authority to take away the citizenship of a native-born US citizen,” he added.

“In short, we are nation founded on the principle that the people choose the government; the government cannot choose the people.”
