The Rich Solar 600 Watt Complete Solar Kit Turns Three MEGA 200 Panels, a 2.56kWh ALPHA 2 Battery and a 3000W Pure Sine Inverter Into One 12V Power System
The Rich Solar 600 Watt Complete Solar Kit (model RS-CK600) covers solar charging, energy storage and AC output for a 12V system in one kit. Three 200W MEGA 200 monocrystalline panels feed a BRAVO 40 40A MPPT charge controller, which charges a 12.8V 200Ah ALPHA 2 LiFePO4 battery. A NOVA PURE 3K inverter then supplies 3,000W continuous and 6,000W peak 120V pure sine wave power. Rich Solar estimates the array produces about 2.2kWh of energy per day under 4 peak sun hours.
Rich Solar builds the kit for RVs, vans, cabins, tiny homes and emergency backup power. Mounting brackets, a cable entry housing, a 15A inline fuse holder, solar and battery cable sets and 4/0 AWG inverter cables are included, so the main parts of the system come in one kit.
Rich Solar 600 Watt Complete Solar Kit Features
A 600W Array of MEGA 200 Panels
Each MEGA 200 (RS-M200) is rated at 200W, 18.4V and 10.9A at maximum power, with a 21.8V open-circuit voltage and 20.2% module efficiency. N-Type TOPCon cells sit under 3.2 mm anti-reflective coated tempered glass in an anodized aluminum frame with an IP67 junction box and 14 pre-drilled mounting holes.
BRAVO 40 MPPT Charging Rated for 600W
Rich Solar rates the BRAVO 40 for up to 600W of solar on a 12V battery, a match for the three panels. It delivers up to 40A of charging current, tracks the maximum power point at better than 99.5% efficiency and converts power at up to 98%. Eight battery presets plus custom settings, an LCD with an LED bar and a built-in Bluetooth module round out the controller.
A 2.56kWh ALPHA 2 Battery That Charges in the Cold
The ALPHA 2 (RS-B122S) stores 2,560Wh and is rated for 5,000+ cycles at 80% depth of discharge, 200A continuous discharge and 2,560W maximum output. A 100W internal heater turns on at 41°F or below while charging current is present and turns off at 50°F. Bluetooth links the battery to the RICH SOLAR app for state of charge, voltage, current, temperature and cycle count.
NOVA PURE 3K Pure Sine Wave Output
The NOVA PURE 3K (RS-V3P12) converts 12V DC into 120V AC at 60Hz with better than 88% efficiency. It handles 3,000W continuously with a 6,000W peak surge for start-up loads. Three AC outlets, a 5V/2.1A USB port and front-panel high-output AC terminals give you several ways to connect loads. Rich Solar lists UL 458 certification for this inverter.
Protection Built Into Each Component
The inverter shuts down automatically on overload, low battery, over-temperature and output short circuit, with a built-in backup DC fuse, a thermally controlled fan and Power, Ground Fault and Fault LEDs. The ALPHA 2's BMS covers over-charge, over-discharge, over-current, short circuit and temperature limits in an IP65 rated case. The BRAVO 40 adds over-voltage and reverse-discharge protection with a conformal coated board.
Real-World Applications
RVs and vans. Run AC devices from the NOVA PURE 3K while three roof panels recharge the 200Ah house battery.
Cabins and tiny homes. Set up a 12V off-grid system with three 120V outlets and a USB port on the inverter.
Emergency backup. Keep 2.56kWh of stored energy ready for outages and recharge it from the sun.
Practical Comparison
RS-CK600 Versus a Modified Sine Inverter Kit
A modified sine inverter produces a stepped waveform rather than a smooth one. The NOVA PURE 3K produces pure sine wave output with minimal harmonic distortion, and Rich Solar names TVs and computers among the household products it can power.
RS-CK600 Versus a Solar Kit Without an Inverter
A battery kit without an inverter only supplies 12V DC, so you'd need to choose an inverter and heavy battery cables yourself. This kit adds the NOVA PURE 3K and a 3 ft 4/0 AWG inverter-to-battery cable set.
Buyer Guidance
Match Your Loads to the Battery
The inverter is rated for 3,000W continuous, but one ALPHA 2 is rated for 200A continuous discharge and 2,560W maximum output. Plan your combined AC loads within the battery's limit. The ALPHA 2 supports up to four batteries of the same model in parallel if you need more storage. Appliance start-up surges are often about twice the running load, and some reach eight times, so check motor-driven loads against the 6,000W peak rating.
Wiring and Mounting
Rich Solar wires the three panels in series with the 15A inline fuse holder on the combined positive lead, runs the solar cable set to the BRAVO 40 and connects the controller to the ALPHA 2 with the 10 ft 8 AWG cable set, with an optional 40A ANL fuse on that run. Rich Solar calls for a battery fuse in the inverter's positive cable, as close to the battery as possible, sized for all AC loads you'll run at once plus 20 percent; a fuse for that cable isn't listed in the kit. Mount the inverter horizontally if it goes on a wall, keep at least 2 inches of air space around it, ground it with insulated 10 gauge copper wire and keep it dry. The BRAVO 40 mounts indoors on a vertical surface.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You want solar, storage and AC output in one 12V kit
- Your loads stay within the battery's 2,560W maximum output
- You need a battery that can charge in cold weather
- You want pure sine wave power for electronics
Common Questions
How Much Solar Energy Does the Kit Produce?
Rich Solar estimates about 2.2kWh per day under 4 peak sun hours. Actual output depends on location, season, panel angle and shading.
Is a Remote Included for the Inverter?
A remote isn't on the kit list. The NOVA PURE 3K has a remote switch connection, and Rich Solar describes the wired on/off remote as optional.
Can I Plug the Inverter Into My Home's Wiring?
No. Rich Solar says never to connect the NOVA PURE 3K to utility AC distribution wiring or to feed live AC power into its outlets. Plug loads into its outlets, or use the high-output terminals for 120V devices that draw more than 15 amps, wired to code.
What Warranty Comes With the Components?
Rich Solar warrants the MEGA 200 panels for 25 years on power output and 10 years on workmanship, the ALPHA 2 battery for 5 years and the BRAVO 40 controller for 2 years.
