Features to Know About

One Controller, Any Setup

Swapping batteries or running a custom system? No need to stress. This controller works with lithium, gel, and lead acid deep cycle battery types, and it auto-detects 12V or 24V systems. You can fine-tune the settings for your unique build with the press of a button. For most RV and off-grid rigs, 20 amps covers plenty of solar for everyday needs. Just remember there's a cap on how many panels you can run through one controller. For a 12-volt system this controller can handle two 100-watt panels; a 24-volt system can use two 200-watt panels.

Get More from Every Ray

The controller's MPPT technology constantly tracks and adjusts to get the maximum solar harvest from your panels even when the sun moves or clouds roll in. No need to mess with settings or chase sunlight; just hook up your system and let the controller handle the details. You'll see faster charging and better results, all on autopilot.

Protection That's Always On

Mistakes happen - wires get crossed, or a connection isn't perfect. The controller has your back, guarding against overcharging, shorts, reverse polarity, and more. It's built to catch those little slip-ups, so you don't have to sweat every connection.

Video Transcript for Review of Rich Solar Solar Charge Controllers - MPPT 20 Amp Solar Charge Controller - RS42FR

Hi everybody, Andy here with etrailer.com. Let's take a real quick look at this Rich Solar MPPT 20 amp solar charge controller. Now this is designed for your 12 volt or 24 volt DC battery and solar systems. This is gonna work with your lithium ions, sealed, gel and flooded lead acid batteries. And this is going to automatically detect between 12 volt or 24 volt DC system voltages. So this solar charge controller is gonna optimize power output and battery charging, ensuring reliable performance for off-grid and RV setups.

This has innovated MPPT technology with high tracking efficiency up to 99% and peak conversion efficiency of 98%. This also features electronic protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, over discharging, overload, short circuiting and reverse current. Also it has a diverse load control and it's also capable of charging over discharged lithium batteries. As you probably already saw, this does include an LCD screen and multiple LED indicators for displaying system operation information, customizable parameters and error codes. This also has a RS-232 port to communicate with the Bluetooth mod, BT-1 one Bluetooth module.

So actually that plugs in here for the temperature it looks like, but so you do have that RS-232 port. This also has an advanced maximum power point tracking algorithm that can quickly locate the best working point in the IV curve to significantly improve the system's energy efficiency. And really this has a a user-friendly design that's gonna make it a perfect addition to your solar energy system. The die cast aluminum design is going to allow for efficient heat dissipation, as you can see, we do have these fins here on the back. Lemme give you some measurements here.

Looking at the overall height, we're sitting pretty close to 8-1/4" tall. The overall width, right at about almost 6" wide, thickness, let's say, right about 2-1/2" thick. But this includes everything that you see here and I think that's gonna wrap up our quick look today. I do hope that it was helpful for you. Again, my name is Andy, thank you for joining me.

  • Can Portable Angled Solar Panel 200w RS62FR Be Used In Forest Camp Site?
    Yes, with a little planning. You can park in the shade and run the Rich Solar Mega 200w Portable Solar Panel # RS85FR out 15–20 feet into a sunny patch with an extension like Rich Solar 20 Foot # RS62FR. That’s what Kyle and Marissa do with their RTT and tear trailer setup; they use a 20-foot MC4 extension to the controller to chase sun while staying cool. We also recommend using a folding table or tilt mount for better angle control under the trees, but luckily the # RS85FR comes with...
