Rich Solar 1600 Watt Solar Kit With 60A MPPT Charge Controller

The Rich Solar 1600 Watt Solar Kit With 60A MPPT Charge Controller Puts Eight MEGA 200 Panels to Work on a 24V Battery Bank

The Rich Solar 1600 Watt Solar Kit With 60A MPPT Charge Controller is a 24V solar charging kit built around eight MEGA 200 monocrystalline panels. Rich Solar rates it at about 5.8kWh of energy per day with 4 peak sun hours, enough to keep a large RV, cabin, trailer or off-grid battery bank charged through heavy daily use.

This listing offers two options. The Standard Kit includes the panels, a 60A MPPT charge controller, a 30A inline fuse, eight sets of Z brackets, a Y branch parallel adapter and panel and battery cables. The Standard Kit Without Charge Controller and Fuse includes the same panels, brackets, cables and adapter for buyers who already own a controller or are pairing the array with an inverter that has a built-in solar charger.

Rich Solar 1600 Watt Solar Kit With 60A MPPT Charge Controller Features

Eight MEGA 200 Monocrystalline Panels

Each MEGA 200 generates 10.9A at its maximum power point and works in series or parallel. The panels use anti-reflective coated tempered glass and anodized aluminum frames, perform well in low light, and carry a 25-year power output warranty and 10-year workmanship warranty.

60A MPPT Charge Controller Sized for the Array

On the Standard Kit, the RS-MPPT60 reaches up to 99% tracking efficiency and 98% peak conversion efficiency. It is rated for up to 1,600W of solar on a 24V system, a direct match for the eight-panel array, and it automatically detects 12V, 24V, 36V or 48V systems.

High Input Voltage for Series Strings

The controller accepts up to 150V of solar input at 77°F. That leaves room to wire panels in series strings and combine them with the included Y branch parallel adapter.

Display, Load Control and Optional Bluetooth

An LCD screen and LED indicators show system information, customizable parameters and error codes. A 20A load output supports DC loads, and an RS232 port connects to the BT-1 Bluetooth module, sold separately.

Full Electronic Protection

The controller protects against reverse polarity, overcharging, over-discharging, overload, short circuits and reverse current. It can charge over-discharged lithium batteries, and its die-cast aluminum case dissipates heat efficiently.

Real-World Applications

Large RVs and fifth wheels. Charge a 24V house battery bank that runs a residential fridge, an inverter and daily appliances.

Off-grid cabins. Provide reliable daily charging for lights, electronics, a fridge and tools.

Trailers and mobile workshops. Recharge a large battery bank that powers equipment on the job.

Expanding an existing system. Choose the no-controller option to add eight panels to a setup that already has charging equipment.

How It Compares to Common Alternatives

Versus the 1200 Watt Solar Kit. The 1200W kit uses six panels with the same 60A controller for about 4.3kWh per day. The 1600W kit adds two panels for about 5.8kWh per day and fills the controller's 24V rating.

Versus a 12V kit. At 24V, the 60A controller handles twice the solar power it could at 12V, and the system carries half the current for the same wattage.

Standard Kit versus the no-controller option. The Standard Kit is ready to charge a 24V battery bank. The no-controller option suits buyers with their own controller or an all-in-one inverter charger.

Is This Kit the Right Fit

• Battery voltage. The kit is designed for a 24V battery bank. On a 12V system, the 60A controller is rated for only 800W of solar.
• Battery and inverter. Neither is included. The controller charges sealed, gel, flooded and lithium batteries.
• Space. Each MEGA 200 panel measures 58.7 x 26.8 x 1.2 inches and weighs 24 pounds, so plan room for eight.
• Daily energy. Plan on about 5.8kWh per day with 4 peak sun hours. Actual output depends on location, season, tilt and shading.

This may be a good fit if

• You run a 24V battery bank with heavy daily loads
• You have roof or ground space for eight full-size panels
• You want a controller matched to the array, or already own one
• You want brackets, cables and a parallel adapter included

Common Questions

What Is the Difference Between the Two Options?

The Standard Kit includes the 60A MPPT controller and 30A inline fuse. The option without charge controller and fuse includes everything else: panels, brackets, cables and the Y branch adapter.

Does the Kit Include a Battery or Inverter?

No. This is a solar charging kit. The battery bank and inverter are sold separately.

How Are the Panels Wired?

The panels work in series or parallel. Keep each string under the controller's 150V input limit, combine strings with the Y branch adapter, and follow the controller manual.

Does the Controller Have Bluetooth?

Not built in. The RS232 port works with Rich Solar's BT-1 Bluetooth module, sold separately.
