A little sunshine goes a long way. This kit helps keep your batteries topped off so your electric cooler stays cold and your lights stay on. Settle in and enjoy the symphony of birds and crickets as your solar kit quietly powers your gear.
With 200 watts on your roof, you can stretch out your weekends and keep some comforts of home while enjoying the outdoors. Keep your fridge humming, charge up everyone's devices, and run lights or fans. This kit is a great fit for small RVs, vans, truck campers, or anyone who wants the flexibility to camp away from crowded hookups and wake up to the sound of birds instead of a generator
The included MPPT controller continually adjusts to changing sunlight, temperature, and battery conditions, then converts excess panel voltage into additional charging current. This helps send more of the panel's available energy to your battery throughout the day.
By comparison, a basic PWM controller brings the panel voltage down to closely match the battery, which can leave available solar power unused. MPPT technology helps you get more usable charging power from the same panel, especially when sunlight is limited or conditions change. Built-in protection guards against overcharging, reverse polarity, short circuits, and surges. The LCD screen and LED indicators also make it easy to check charging status, adjust settings, and identify errors.
You do not have to match a panel with a separate controller, cables, brackets, and fuse protection. The essential components are included and designed to work together, while the instructions guide you through the installation. Once the system is connected, you can focus on packing for the trip instead of tracking down another missing part.
Your first setup does not have to be your final setup. The controller supports additional solar capacity and common battery types, giving you room to adapt as you add gear, upgrade your battery bank, or spend more time away from hookups. You can start with the power you need now without replacing the entire system when your travel plans change.

Ratings & Reviews
Solar panel was cracked and the controller had been used. I ordered new items.
I have the 2-panel Rich Solar kit installed on my Bontrager Outdoors Radical 12RAD and it's pretty impressive. I like how easy it was to get set up. The wiring was clearly labeled and the brackets were pre-drilled, which made everything feel straightforward and not overcomplicated. The 400-watt setup gives me enough solar to keep my batteries charging during the day. I was able to camp off grid for 4 days while using my 12 volt mini fridge, lights, fan and phone charger without hooking up to shore power.
I also like that the system is easy to expand. My trailer doesn’t have room for another roof panel, but having a plug for a portable panel makes it simple to add more power later if I need it. Overall, it feels like a solid mid-range option that’s affordable and DIY-friendly.
