PV Panel Kits

PV Panel Kits: Rigid Solar Modules Sold in the Quantities You Need

PV panel kits are sets of rigid photovoltaic modules, sold two at a time or by the pallet, for anyone building or expanding a solar array. They feed a charge controller or hybrid inverter on a cabin, a house, a barn roof or an RV, and unlike a folding camping panel they are meant to be bolted down and left for decades.

It holds 94 products from Sungold Power, Rich Solar, Anker and Bluetti. Single 12V panels start at $69 for a 50W Rich Solar MEGA; Sungold multi-panel kits start at $165 for a pair of 100W modules and reach $5,650 for a 440W N-type bundle of up to 31 panels. Shopping pv panels for sale by the kit brings the price per watt down as quantity rises.

How to choose pv solar panels for your system

• System voltage. Match the panel's nominal voltage to your controller and battery bank. 12V panels such as the Rich Solar MEGA 100W 12V rigid suit small van and boat systems. 24V panels like the Rich Solar MEGA 200W 24V replace two 100W panels with one, cutting connection points. 48V-class modules such as the Sungold Power 415W 48V PERC kit are the standard for home and cabin inverters.
• Cell technology. PERC is the proven mainstream choice at 20.3 percent module efficiency on the Sungold 370W. N-type TOPCon cells run higher: the Rich Solar MEGA 200W reaches 24.8 percent and the Sungold 440W N-type carries a 30-year linear power warranty. Bifacial N-type, in the Sungold 560W bifacial kit, adds up to 30 percent from light hitting the back, which pays off on ground mounts, carports and canopies.
• Quantity. Sungold kits are priced by panel count. The 415W kit starts at $875 and scales to $4,190 for the largest bundle; the 200W 48V kit runs $350 to $1,750.

Sizing tips

• Work out the array size from your loads, not from roof area. The Solar Kit Calculator takes your appliance list and ZIP code and returns the battery, inverter and panel wattage that match your local sun hours.
• Check the controller or inverter's maximum input voltage before wiring panels in series. Cold mornings push panel voltage above the nameplate, so leave margin.
• Keep every string identical. Mixing a 370W and a 415W panel in one string drags the whole string down to the weaker panel.
• Plan rear-side clearance for bifacial modules. Mounted flat on a dark roof, the 560W panels give up most of their extra gain; on a tilted ground rack over gravel or grass they earn it.
• For a tight van or boat roof, the 12.4 lb Rich Solar MEGA 100 SLIM is 15.7 inches wide and fits between vents.

Frequently asked questions

How much do pv panels cost in these kits? Pricing is per bundle: the 100W 24V pair is $165, the 415W kit starts at $875, and the 440W N-type bundle tops out at $5,650 for up to 31 panels. Per watt, larger modules and larger quantities cost less; the trade-off is heavier panels and a bigger racking job.

Do these panels work with a portable power station? Yes, if the panel voltage sits inside the station's solar input range. The Anker SOLIX PS400 and Bluetti 350W in this collection are the plug-and-play options for those stations.

Are flexible pv panels a good substitute? Only where a frame will not sit flat, such as a curved van roof. Rigid glass modules like the ones here last longer and cost less per watt, so use flexible panels for the awkward spots and rigid for everything else.

All pv panel kits ship free to the mainland US from our brand partner warehouses, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. Send us your inverter model and we will confirm a panel count and string layout.
