The Rich Solar 260 Watt SLIM Solar Kit (RS-K260SL) is a 12V solar charging kit built around two 130W MEGA 130 SLIM panels (RS-M130SL) and a BRAVO 30 30A MPPT charge controller with built-in Bluetooth. Rich Solar estimates that the 260W array produces approximately 0.9kWh of energy per day under 4 peak sun hours. The kit also includes a 30 foot 10 AWG solar cable set, red and black 10 foot 10 AWG battery cables, two sets of four Z brackets and a 10A inline fuse holder for the solar circuit.
Each panel is 15.8 inches wide and 65 inches long, which suits long, narrow runs of roof. Rich Solar builds its Slim Kits for RVs, vans, trailers, boats, tiny homes and other off-grid charging systems. You supply the 12V battery, since no battery or inverter is included.
Each MEGA 130 SLIM panel measures 65.0 x 15.8 x 1.2 inches (1650 x 400 x 30 mm) and weighs 15.4 lb (7 kg), and together the two panels make up the kit's 260W array. Rich Solar designed the slim profile to give you more placement options on compact rooftops. The MEGA 130 SLIM has a silver aluminum frame around its dark cells.
Each panel uses 34 N-Type TOPCon cells (2 x 17), with up to 25.3% cell efficiency and 19.8% module efficiency. It's rated 130W with a 0 to +5W power tolerance, 6.63A at a maximum power voltage of 19.6V, and 23.6V open circuit. It has 3.2 mm AR-coated tempered glass, an anodized aluminum frame and an IP67 junction box, with mechanical strength certified to 5400 Pa positive and 2400 Pa negative load.
The BRAVO 30 tracks the array's maximum power point at 99.5% efficiency or better and converts it to charging power at up to 98% efficiency. Rich Solar rates it for a nominal 500W of solar at 12V and 1,000W at 24V, with up to 100V of open-circuit input and 30A of charging current, so this 260W array is within its rating. It detects a 12V or 24V battery automatically and guards against reverse polarity, short circuits, reverse current at night and overheating.
Built-in Bluetooth connects the BRAVO 30 to the RICH SOLAR app, so you can check charging from your phone. The LCD shows solar voltage, current, power and kWh plus battery voltage, charging current and charged amp-hours. A remote display and a battery temperature sensor are optional.
Presets cover LiFePO4 (LFP), LTO, LCO, lead crystal, Gel, AGM, flooded and calcium batteries, plus a custom setting for your battery maker's voltages. AGM is the default, so choose your battery type during setup. If a lithium battery's BMS has shut it off after a deep discharge, the controller tries to wake it automatically.
RVs and fifth wheels. Run two long, narrow panels down the roof past vents and hatches.
Camper vans. Get 260 watts from two panels that stay 15.8 inches wide.
Boats. Charge a 12V house battery from two slim panels on a hardtop or cabin roof.
A PWM controller is a simpler design, but it can't turn surplus panel voltage into extra charging current. The BRAVO 30 in this kit uses MPPT tracking instead, and it adds Bluetooth monitoring, an LCD and profiles for lithium and lead-acid batteries.
A wider panel of similar wattage can be hard to fit between roof vents, fans, hatches and racks. At 15.8 inches wide, the two slim panels fit narrow strips of roof.
Rich Solar's wiring diagram shows the two panels wired in series, positive to negative, with the 10A inline fuse on the combined positive lead before the solar cables reach the controller. It also shows an optional 30A ANL fuse on the battery's positive cable, which isn't included. The BRAVO 30 manual strongly recommends an inline fuse on the positive wire of both the solar and battery circuits, and asks you to cover the panels before connecting cables. If you change the layout, keep the array's open-circuit voltage under the controller's 100V limit, rated at -4°F (-20°C).
Mount the BRAVO 30 indoors on a vertical surface, out of the weather and as close to the battery as possible. No battery or inverter is included, so plan for a 12V battery that suits your loads and select its type in the controller's settings.
No. You'll need your own 12V battery. Rich Solar's wiring diagram shows its ALPHA 1 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery and NOVA PURE 2K 12V inverter as examples, and both are marked not included.
Rich Solar estimates approximately 0.9kWh of energy per day under 4 peak sun hours. Days with fewer peak sun hours will produce less.
The BRAVO 30 is rated for a nominal 500W of solar at 12V, so it has some room beyond this kit's 260W. Added panels must keep the array under the controller's 100V open-circuit limit at -4°F (-20°C) and its 30A solar input current, and the wiring may need to change. Ask our team to check the layout before you add panels.
Rich Solar backs the MEGA 130 SLIM with a 25-year power output warranty and a 10-year limited workmanship warranty.
The Rich Solar 260 Watt SLIM Solar Kit combines two 130W MEGA 130 SLIM panels (RS-M130SL), a BRAVO 30 MPPT controller with Bluetooth, and the cables, brackets and fuse holder that connect them to your 12V battery. If you'd like help choosing a battery or planning your roof layout, the Outbound Power team is happy to help.
