Features to Know About

Reliable Off-Grid Power for Your RV, Van, or Camper

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.

Advanced Protection and Smarter Charging

You want your system to work in the real world, not just in perfect weather. The MPPT controller protects against wiring mistakes and surges, and its smart tracking helps you squeeze out every bit of power from your panels, even when clouds roll in. Check your charging status or error codes with a quick glance at the screen, then get back to relaxing around camp.

DIY-Friendly and Ready to Go

You do not need to be a pro installer to get set up. With all parts included, clear instructions, and brackets that make sense, you can have this kit on your roof or rack in a single weekend. Finish the job, clean up your tools, and roll out knowing your power is ready for the next trip.

Expandable for Future Adventures

Starting with a 200-watt kit means you have options. Head out solo, or bring more gear next season. The controller is ready for bigger plans, so you can add panels or upgrade your battery when your adventures get bolder.

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.

  • How Many Additional Panels Can Be Added To The Rich Solar RV Solar Charging Kit RS37VR
    Hey Deven, thanks for reaching out, and good question. For a 12 volt system, the charge controller can handle one 200 watt panel. For 24v systems it can do two 200 watt panels. So while the kit technically is expandable, with your 12v system, the one 200 watt panel is the max you can do. The additional panel is available as part # RS23FR. If you are wanting to run two 200 watt panels with your 12v system, the Rich Solar RV Solar Charging Kit w/ 2 Panels - 12V - 400 Watts # RS97VR is...

  • Kit to Add 200 Watt Solar Panel Kit to 2023 Keystone Montana High Country
    Hey Greg, you could pretty easily add a 200 watt solar panel to your Keystone Montana with the Rich Solar kit part # RS37VR. What all are you wanting to run off the solar setup in your Montana?

  • Can 100W Or 200W Solar Kit From Rich Solar Power AC Unit In 2017 Jayco Greyhawk Travel Trailer?
    Hi Alicia, we get this question a lot, and its a really important one if you’re trying to stay cool while off-grid. The short answer is: unfortunately, the Rich Solar 100w kit # RS27VR and 200w # RS37VR won’t be able to power your air conditioner directly, but we have a kit that will! Here’s why: air conditioners, even smaller RV rooftop models like a 13,500 BTU unit, draw a lot of power, typically around 1,200–1,500 watts continuous, and even more at startup. The # RS27VR is a 100-watt...

  • What Is Included In Rich Solar Kits For RVs?
    The Rich Solar RV kits 100w # RS27VR, 200w # RS37VR, 400w # RS97VR, and 1,200w # RS67VR are true complete kits. That means you’ll get: Pre-drilled rigid monocrystalline panels MPPT solar charge controller MC4 cables and mounting brackets Port to communicate with BT-1 Bluetooth module (module not included in all kits; might need to buy separately) Wire, fuse, and hardware for rooftop-to-battery installation If your rig has no entry plate, we recommend adding: MC4 cable entry plate Butyl...

  • Good Entry Level Solar Panel Kit For First Time RVers
    Absolutely, Trevor. The # RS27VR is a 100-watt kit, which makes it a perfect starter system for folks who are new to RVing or only taking short weekend trips. It’s designed to maintain a single 12V battery, which is ideal if you’re using lights, your water pump occasionally, and maybe charging a couple of devices. This won’t typically run your fridge or heavier loads, but it will definitely help prevent battery drain. One customer from Nebraska uses it on her single-axle hybrid trailer...

  • Are Rich Solar Panels And Kits Compatible With Lithium Batteries?
    Yes! The Rich Solar panels and kits work great with lithium; the important thing is to make sure your charge controller supports lithium charging profiles. Many newer controllers do, but some older PWM types don’t. If you’re using a lithium battery like a Battle Born 100Ah, we recommend pairing this panel with a lithium-compatible MPPT controller to ensure proper voltage and charge cycles. Also, in case you want a specific compatibility list, here you go: lithium, gel, AGM, wet, crystal,...

  • Can Rich Solar 200W Panel Kit Power Dometic CFX Fridge On Weekend Trip?
    Hey Jerald, the Rich Solar 200W Kit # RS37VR will give you enough solar to keep up with a Dometic fridge and basic 12V loads over a weekend. In ideal sun, it’ll produce 10–11 amps/hour, or ~50–60Ah per day. That’s close to what a Dometic pulls per day in moderate temps. But since you have a battery with stored power, the solar is just there to replenish what the fridge and 12v loads pull. So you will be just fine with this setup, but you won't have a lot of excess battery capacity to spare!

  • Can 200 Watt Solar Panel be Wired to 200 Watt Solar Panel of 2023 Montana High Country
    Hey Greg, the Rich Solar RV Charging Kit part # RS37VR that you referenced comes with it's own controller so you could run all of the kit straight to your RV battery, or if you wanted to wire the panel of this kit directly to the wiring of your current panel and controller you can do that as well. You would need to wire it in parallel to your current panel which means connecting all of the positive wires together and the negative wires together. You would also want to make sure your current...

  • How Many Watt Solar Panel For 100ah Lithium Battery In Jayco Popup Camper?
    Hey Henrick, yes I can help you out with finding a good solar panel for the Rich Solar Alpha 1 Pro Lithium Battery # RS74VR. First let's do some quick math based on your electronics: A 12V fridge (60W × 10 hours) = 600Wh LED lights, fan, phone charging = 150Wh Total: ~750Wh per day You’ll need at least 750Wh of solar charging per day just to break even. If you used a 100w kit # RS27VR, you would be helping the battery from discharging as quickly, but it's not going to be enough to keep...

  • How Much Power Can A 100W Solar Panel Put Out On Forest River R Pod?
    Good morning Brianna! On a good sunny day, a 100W panel like the Rich Solar # RS27VR can produce about 30–35 amp-hours of power over 5–6 hours of direct sun. That’s ~6 amps of charge per hour which is enough to recharge a partially depleted 100Ah battery like the Rich Solar Alpha Lithium Battery # RS74VR, run your lights and phone chargers, and top you off for the evening. Its not enough for heavy draws like a DC fridge, TV, or microwave, but for basic weekend use, its plenty. We often...

  • 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?

  • Is Rich Solar Kit For RVS A DIY Install Or Is Certified Technician Needed?
    Great question, and the short answer is yes, you can definitely install the 200 Watt Rich Solar Kit # RS37VR yourself, as long as you're comfortable with basic tools, 12V wiring, and sealing roof holes. We have quite a few DIYers in the etrailer community who’ve had great success installing Rich Solar kits on their RVs, trailers, and even van builds. The # RS37VR includes 200 watt panel, plus an MPPT controller, mounting brackets, and pre-crimped MC4 connectors. The general install process...

  • 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...

  • Is The Rich Solar Portable Panel RS35FR Easy To Setup Off-Grid For 1st Time User?
    Yes, and we love hearing folks getting started with solar! Since your trailer is prepped/wired for solar, this will be a breeze! The Rich Solar Portable Panel # RS27VR and # RS37VR are lightweight and and come with the necessary controller and cables to connect to your solar-ready port on the trailer. Megan in Utah said it was easier than setting up her tent, and her deep cycle battery stayed full all weekend while she used lights, a fan, and recharged her phone. What areas are you planning...
