RICH SOLAR 200 Watt 24 Volt 9BB Cell Monocrystalline Solar Panel High Efficiency Solar Module for RV Trailer Camper Marine Off Grid

Ordered 10 panels and received all on time and in excellent condition despite the best efforts of the shippers. Of the group only 1 had a minor cosmetic flaw in the frame. Checked and got 45V open circuit on each one and connected all in series to verify good connections. Now I just have to get up on the roof and install...😓 Been running with 10 panels for 2Kw set up for 4 months now. The most I get is around 1900W, which is acceptable. They are in a series/parallel set up with a 250/85 controller (48VDC). Open ckt volts should top out at about 235, but will briefly(?) spike above 250V on occasion. Hopefully the controller can handle the issue. After all the work, still satisfied with performance.

I went 48V with my DIY off grid system. I been running 4 X 12V 100W panels in series for 48V 100W. Found these panels and havent looked at a 12V panel since. I connect two of these in series and get 48V 200W and have seen them put out a steady 215W. My system I am running 4 racks of 12V 100W panels. That gives me 67V 400W at the charger. I added 6 of these Rich Solar 24V 200W panels and it kicked my charge rate on a bright sunny day to 1450W/hr. My daily average is running around 6kw now. I have 2 more panels to add to the system and I expect to see over 7K/day solar production. In my opinion these panels are great and I plan to buy more of them to add to my system. Edit 2 years later.... Reconfigured my system to 24V and 6 of these panels will give me @750 watts which is right at the %60 efficiency rating.

Solar Panel worked perfectly as a replacement for the original solar panel that was blown off with the high winds in our area. We can get in and out of our property!

I am adding 6 to my system and things were going well, until I went to clamp them together with my other Rich Solar panels that had the same dimensions. They shaved off .2 inches off these new ones making the specs shown false. They show 1.4" and they are only 1.2"... which makes clamping the new with the old impossible. 4 end brackets had to be put between the old and the new panels. Which created another problem, the end brackets minimum height is 1.4" which means I had to cut 0ff .2" of each end bracket I used for these new Solar panels. This messed up my plans for placement but I was able to make it work. Two more of this setup to go. Need 12 end brackets that I had to order. I am also worried that these thinner models may not withstand the weather that the other thicker ones have gone through.

I purchased this item almost 2 years ago and decided it was time to do a review on it. Most of the time items that I buy seldom meet the advertised specifications. In this case it is quite the opposite. I just took a reading on the voltage output of the solar panel and to my amazement It was putting out 41 volts with an advertise maximum of 37 1/2 volts. I am completely happy with this solar panel and plan on buying more in the future.

Updated Review after purchasing second 200W 24 volt panel: I was so happy with my first panel that I ordered a second. I connected the in series to charge my Blue Etti even faster. The Blue Etti will work with up to 60v input so it should have worked fine, however, the second panel (or maybe both) are producing way over 24 volts. The name plate for the original panel showed maximum power voltage of 24 volts, the nameplate for the second panel shows the maximum power voltage of 37.6 so make sure you understand the excessive voltage before ordering. I tried to return and get a replacement panel but the company cancelled my return and hasn't responded with any updates. Original Review for first 200W 24v panel Ive been using the 200W mono panel to daily charge my Blue Etti for the last week and it has been working great. It consistently produces 165 to 170 watts (I’ve monitored several days at around 10 a.m. and 2 pm) during the peak solar hours which is good for a 200 watt panel. I chose the Rich solar panel after watching YouTube reviews in which Rich panels typically among the best performers. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see that Rich had improved the packaging, which had been mentioned as being disappointing in the YouTube reviews. My panel arrived with both cardboard and foam around almost the entire exterior. It also appears that Rich has improved upon the quality of the construction compared to what was shown in the YouTube videos. Im completely happy with it and will definitely buy Rich panels gain due to the good price and excellent performance.

First and foremost if you buy a pv panel to install outside they should not leak water into the inside of the panel. I only bought this ONE to match a group of 16 I purchased 3 years ago that are very ugly from water leaking into cells and staining them .It will also effect there longevity and performance .I have since siliconed all my rich panels to seal them up .I wont be buying this brand ever again .what should have been a lifelong investment turned out to be a big disappointment and financial waste The frames were flimsy on the first batch even worse now buyer beware

I installed 8 of these panels (1600 watts total). I have experienced as much as 10% over rated power on cold sunny days. On hot days (100+ degrees) I typically see about 1400 watt output. Considering the panels are mounted flat on the RV roof, very hot and not tilted toward the sun, this is VERY acceptable. I have them connected to a Victron MPPT charge controller to maximize the output efficiency. I installed them in a parallel configuration to avoid the entire system from suffering from one shaded panel (we camp in partially shaded locations). The 24 volt panels are great for 12v systems IF USED WITH A MPPT CHARGER. They produce above battery voltage much earlier in the day and extend the charging time.
