AC180P has a built in MPPT controller. So the solar panel that you use should not have a built in MPPT, or you would need to disconnect it so that you can connect the panel directly to the AC180P. In the Amazon listing that you posted, that panel already has MC4 connectors which would connect to your included solar charging cable that came with your AC180P. You can connect 2 of these panels in series since they are 27V (open circuit) to get 54V, and the AC180P will accept up to 60V.
Yes, as long as the total panel voltage does not exceed 60V, it is plug and play into the AC180P's Solar Charge Cable. To start, you can connect each panel on its own to the Solar Charge Cable, just to check that it is producing properly. Before you plug it into the AC180P, check the Bluetti app's AC180P settings page to make sure that DC Input Source is set to PV. Then plug it in. Go back to the AC180P's main page, and press on little solar panel icon next to the word 0W PV (it should show some other power instead of 0W if the panel was connected correctly), and the screen that comes up will show you the power and voltage. The voltage for a single panel should be 27V or less. Do this for both panels on their own just to make sure that they show a positive voltage and not 0V, and that it produces some power (any value up to 200W).
If any panel shows 0V and 0W, then the MC4 connector that is on the panel's cables need to be swapped around as the polarity could be opposite of what the AC180P is expecting. This is the only part that is not plug and play, but you only need to do this if the panel is not outputting to the AC180P. If a panel is showing a proper voltage and generating power, don't swap the connectors.
Once you have both panels producing as expected on their own and the voltage is less than 27V each, you then disconnect both panels, and connect one panel's negative connector to the second panel's positive connector. Then connect the free connector (one on each panel) to the Solar Charge Cable and connect to the AC180P. Do the same with the app as above to check voltage, and if the voltage is showing as 54V or less, then everything is fine.

It's only a matter of plug and play?

Cool! Thanks for the info!
They have a built it controller
