A little extra power goes a long way. 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 usually mean more time running your refrigerator, lights, fans, devices, and other everyday gear. With two 200-watt panels collecting solar energy, this kit helps replace more of that daily battery use and reduces how often you need to find a hookup or run a generator. It is a practical fit for RVs, vans, and truck campers with larger battery banks or greater off-grid power needs.
The included 40-amp 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.
Plans change and gear upgrades happen. The MPPT controller adapts automatically for 12V or 24V batteries and works with lithium, AGM, gel, or wet cell types. Add more panels in parallel or series as your needs grow, your kit is ready, with flexible wiring and smart technology that grows with your adventures. Set it up once and know you're set for seasons to come.

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.
