Big adventures call for serious power. This kit keeps your battery bank ready for longer stays and convenient appliance use. Settle in and enjoy the symphony of birds and crickets as your solar charging system quietly keeps your rig running strong.
Longer trips and larger rigs usually mean more time running your refrigerator, lights, fans, devices, and other everyday gear. Six 200-watt panels provide 1,200 watts of rated solar capacity to help replace more of the energy drawn from your battery bank throughout the day. This higher-capacity system is a practical fit for larger 12V setups in RVs, vans, bus conversions, and boats. It helps reduce how often you need to find a hookup or run a generator, giving you more freedom to plan your route around where you want to stay instead of where you can plug in.
The six panels are divided into two 600-watt arrays. Each set of three panels is wired in series and managed by its own included 40-amp MPPT charge controller. This allows each controller to track and manage its array independently.
Each MPPT controller continually finds the most productive operating point for its panels, then converts excess panel voltage into usable charging current as sunlight, temperature, and battery conditions change. By comparison, a basic PWM controller brings panel voltage down toward battery voltage, which can leave some available solar power unused. MPPT technology helps more of the system's available energy reach your battery throughout the day. Built-in protection guards against overcharging, wiring mistakes, and power surges, while the LCD screens and LED indicators let you check charging status, adjust settings, and identify errors. Both controllers support lithium, AGM, gel, and flooded lead-acid batteries.
A system this size can become complicated when every panel, controller, cable, bracket, and fuse must be sourced separately. This kit brings together six panels, two controllers, mounting brackets, heavy-duty cables, and weatherproof fuse holders, reducing the number of individual parts you need to match. The wiring diagram (see above) shows how the panels are divided between the two controllers, while the included instructions guide you through the connections. Instead of piecing together mismatched components, you can approach the installation as one complete solar system.

Ratings & Reviews
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.
