  • Built for Life on the Road: Tempered glass and an aluminum frame stand up to weather and regular travel.
  • Choose the Mount That Fits Your Setup: Pre-drilled holes work with common Z-brackets, pole mounts, and tilt mounts.
  • Manageable for Installation: The 26.9-lb panel is easier to position when replacing a panel or expanding an array.

Features to Know About

Add Solar Capacity Your Way: One 250-Watt Panel for Compatible Systems

You may not need an entire solar kit when one panel is damaged or your current array needs a little more capacity. This 250-watt panel gives you a practical way to replace a compatible panel or expand an existing 12V solar setup without purchasing components you already have. It can be wired in series or parallel as your system allows, giving you room to build an array around your battery bank, available mounting space, and daily power needs.

Make Better Use of Changing Sunlight: Monocrystalline Cells Support Steady Output

Solar conditions rarely stay the same all day. Morning light, passing clouds, and changing sun angles can reduce the energy reaching your roof. The panel's 16-busbar N-Type TopCon monocrystalline cells are designed to collect available sunlight efficiently, helping your system continue charging as conditions change. Anti-reflective glass allows more sunlight to reach the cells, helping the panel make better use of the space it occupies on your RV, van, boat, or other solar setup.

Leave It Mounted Through Changing Weather: Durable Materials Protect the Panel

A permanently mounted panel has to handle more than sunny afternoons. Tempered glass, an anodized aluminum frame, and water-resistant connections help protect it from regular travel and exposure to outdoor conditions. The panel is tested for wind, snow, and hail loads, so it is prepared for the changing conditions your rig may encounter throughout the year.

Replace or Expand More Easily: Common Mounting Options Simplify Planning


mc4 cables

Pre-drilled frame holes work with common ground mounts, Z-brackets, pole mounts, and tilt mounts, giving you flexibility when planning the installation. Industry-standard solar connectors also make it easier to connect the panel to compatible wiring and equipment. At 26.9 lbs, the panel is manageable to position while you line up mounting points and connections. You can add the solar capacity you need without rebuilding the rest of your system.

“Extra power for your setup when you’re ready to grow or swap one out”

Hey folks Andy here If you’ve already got a solar setup and you’re looking to add more power or replace a worn out panel this 250 watt panel from Rich Solar is a great choice

It’s made with high quality monocrystalline cells which means it charges better when the sun is low in the sky or when it’s cloudy out That gives you more dependable power throughout the day

Think of it like this:
Monocrystalline panels are made from a single piece of high grade silicon They’re more efficient than the cheaper types so you get

Better performance on cloudy days or early and late in the day

More power in less space

Longer lifespan with fewer drops in output over time

This panel is tough too It’s been tested to handle hail strong wind and snow The frame is aluminum the front is anti reflective tempered glass and the connections are sealed and waterproof so it’s ready for travel and rough weather

If you are adding this to your current system it comes with standard quick connect cables and pre drilled mounting holes so the install is pretty straightforward You can mount it flat on your roof use Z brackets or set it up on a tilt system

Just keep in mind this is a panel only You’ll need your own charge controller wiring and mounts to make it part of your system

I installed 3 mega 250 watt solar panels on my 40 foot fifthwheel, in conjunction with a 314 amp hour lithium battery, and a 2000 watt inverter. This summer I spent several days boondocking in Canada. Most days I achieved a maximum of 70% of the rated power output, probably because of cloud cover. However twice I achieved 88.5%, or 664 watts. Overall, I like the freedom of being able to watch the television, and use the microwave without having to setup the portable generator. Each morning the sun shines, I am assured I will have power for the night

See what our Experts say about this Rich Solar Accessories and Parts

  • Do I Need Full Rich Solar Kit If My RV Is Prewired With Solar On The Side Port?
    Great question, Jeff! If your trailer has a “Solar on the Side” port (typically SAE or Furrion), you still need a full solar kit like # RS27VR or # RS67VR, which include a controller. The solar prepped trailers just have a port that leads to the trailer's battery, but it still needs the panel, wiring, and charge controller as these kits include.

  • Solar Panels for Charging BLUETTI AC200L in Travel Trailer
    Hi Chris; rigid monocrystalline solar panels are going to be the most durable option for your travel trailer. For 250 watt panels you can use the Rich Solar Mega 250 Solar Panel # RS35FR (silver) or # RS95FR (black). You will also need to pick up the feet # RS82FR since they don't come with the panels. It looks like the Bluetti AC200L has a built-in MPPT solar charge controller so you can connect the panels directly without adding a separate charge controller. Make sure to verify this information. I'm...

  • Can I Combine 2 Portable Solar Panels On The Same RV Solar Controller?
    You can! Grab the Redarc Parallel Cable Kit # RED78VR. It lets you combine both MC4-based panels safely into a single input. We helped a couple in Kansas City daisy-chain two 200w kits to keep their 12V fridge and LED party lights running from morning kickoff through post-game cleanup. Just be sure the controller can handle the total wattage. For example, you'll need to make sure your controller is rated for at least 30A to handle 2 of the Rich Solar Mega 200 Portable Solar Panel with...

  • Is It Okay To Leave Portable Rich Solar Panels Outside In Rain Or Snow?
    The RS-series portable panels like Rich Solar Mega 100 Solar Panel - 12V - 100 Watts # RS77VR, Rich Solar Mega 200 Portable Solar Panel with Case - MC4 Connectors - 200 Watts # RS85FR, and Rich Solar Mega 250 Solar Panel - 12V - 250 Watts # RS35FR are weather-resistant IP67 rated. That means rain is fine, just avoid prolonged exposure or full submersion. Use the included kickstand bag as a cover (included with # RS85FR) when not in use or store indoors when not using it to keep it nice.

  • Can Rich Solar RS35FR Portable Solar Panel Connect Directly To Trailer's Prewired Solar Port?
    Hey Nathaniel, the Rich Solar Mega 250 Solar Panel - 12V - 250 Watts # RS35FR has mc4 connectors which usually run to a charge controller, which would then connect to the prewired solar port on your trailer. If you don't have that yet, I would just go with a complete kit like # RS37VR which includes a controller and everything necessary for your trailer to get the solar power it desires. What kind of trailer do you have?

  • Can A Rich Solar Panel Charge 2 AGM 6v Batteries In Series?
    Yes, Kirk! The output voltage from the RS-series panels is ideal for charging a 12V battery bank, whether made from 6V batteries in series or a single 12V battery. Just make sure you’re using an appropriate solar charge controller PWM or MPPT between the panel and batteries. Is your motorhome prepped for solar already? If so, you can use Rich Solar RV Solar Charging Kit w/ 1 Panel - 12V - 100 Watts # RS27VR or Rich Solar RV Solar Charging Kit w/ 1 Panel - 12V - 200 Watts # RS37VR. If...

  • Can Portable Solar Panel Run Directly Into A Power Station Without A Separate Controller?
    Good morning Kathy; this can seem confusing at first, so don't feel bad. You can plug a panel into a power station only if your power station has a built-in MPPT controller like most of them do (let me know which one you have and I can verify for you). The portable solar panels from Rich Solar # RS35FR and # RS85FR are unregulated panels which is why they require a controller or power station with a built-in controller. You can plug them into EcoFlow, Jackery, Bluetti, or Goal Zero power...
