Rich Solar Solar Panels

Rich Solar Panels: Picking the Right MEGA Panel for a Roof, Van or Ground Mount

Rich solar panels cover an unusually wide spread for one brand: a 50W rigid panel for a trickle charger, 100W slim and flexible options for tight or curved RV roofs, briefcase kits with the controller built in, and 400W to 410W modules for grid-tie and off-grid arrays. Because the whole MEGA line uses monocrystalline cells and the same connector standard, you can start with one panel on a camper and add matching ones later without rewiring.

This collection has 19 panels and panel kits. Prices start from $69 for the MEGA 50 and run to about $2,700 for a pallet of MEGA 410 modules. Most single 100W to 250W panels sit between $110 and $300.

How to choose a Rich Solar panel

• Rigid, slim or flexible. The standard RICH SOLAR MEGA 100W 12V Rigid Solar Panel is the usual rich solar 100w panel for a van roof, with an IP67-rated build. The MEGA 100W 12V SLIM gives the same 100W in a 15.7-inch-wide frame for Class B roofs with vents and air conditioners in the way. The MEGA 100W FLEX weighs 4.8 lb and bends to sit flush on a curved roof or boat deck.
• 12V or 24V nominal. A rich solar 200w panel comes in a 24V version: the MEGA 200W 24V Monocrystalline Solar Panel outputs 36.3V nominal, so one panel replaces two 100W units and halves the connection points. Check that your charge controller accepts that input voltage.
• Portable or fixed. Rich solar portable panels come as briefcases: the MEGA 100W Briefcase folds into a case with a waterproof 10A controller already fitted, so it clips straight onto a 12V battery.
• Array size for a home. The 400W and 410W MEGA modules are the ones to spec for a ground mount or roof array feeding a hybrid inverter; the 410W is sold by the pallet.

Setup and usage tips

• Size the array before you pick the panel. The Solar Kit Calculator takes your appliance list and ZIP code and returns the panel watts you actually need.
• Measure the roof, including vents and racks. The SLIM panel exists because standard 100W frames often do not fit between fixtures on a Class B van.
• Do not mix 12V and 24V nominal panels in one series string. Keep the MEGA 200 24V panels together, and the 12V panels together, each on a controller rated for that voltage.
• A briefcase kit needs no separate controller; a rigid panel does. Buying a rigid panel for a bare battery means adding an MPPT controller, or choosing the 400W charging kit that includes one.
• Flexible panels run hotter than rigid ones with an air gap, so expect a little less output at midday in summer.

Frequently asked questions

Which Rich Solar panel is best for an RV roof? For a standard roof, the MEGA 100 or MEGA 250 rigid panels. For a narrow roof, the MEGA 100 SLIM. For a curved fibreglass roof, the MEGA 100 FLEX.

Are the MEGA 400 and 410 panels for home use? Yes. Both are 24V-class modules described for residential, commercial and agricultural installs, grid-tie or off-grid, and the 410W is sold in pallet quantity for full arrays.

Do I need anything else with a briefcase kit? Only a battery. The 100W and 200W briefcase kits carry a built-in charge controller, so they connect directly to a 12V battery or a compatible power station.

All Rich Solar panels ship free to the mainland US from brand partner warehouses, usually within a few business days, with 30-day returns. If you are not sure which panel suits your roof or controller, call and we will check the match with you.
