Rich Solar BRAVO PRO 30 | 30 Amp MPPT Flush Mount Solar Charge Controller

The Rich Solar BRAVO PRO 30 Mounts Flush in Your Wall and Charges 12V or 24V Batteries From Up to 1,000W of Solar

The Rich Solar BRAVO PRO 30 (RS-MPPT30FB) is a 30 amp MPPT solar charge controller built to sit flush in a wall or cabinet panel, with only the faceplate showing. It detects 12V or 24V batteries automatically and accepts up to 100V of solar. Rich Solar recommends up to 500W of panels at 12V or 1,000W at 24V.

Built-in Bluetooth connects to the RICH SOLAR app, and the round LCD and LED bar show charging status at a glance. Rich Solar designed it for RVs, trailers, campers, vans, boats and off-grid systems where a clean, recessed install matters. It is ETL certified to UL 1741 and CSA C22.2 No. 107.1.

Rich Solar BRAVO PRO 30 Features

Flush-Mount Design for a Clean Install

The controller body fits into a 172 x 140 mm (6.772 x 5.512 in) cutout, and four screws hold it to the wall. A slotted screwdriver separates the faceplate to reach the screw holes, and the faceplate then goes back on to cover them. Overall size is 8.3 x 6.1 x 2.2 in, and it weighs 1.8 lb.

MPPT Charging With Multi-Peak Tracking

Rich Solar rates MPPT tracking efficiency at 99.5% or higher and conversion efficiency up to 98%. Multi-peak tracking helps the controller find the true maximum power point when part of the array is shaded. The MPPT voltage range is 15V to 72V, and the solar input range is 8V to 100V.

Eight Battery Presets Plus Custom

Choose LFP, LTO, LCO, gel, AGM, flooded (WET), lead crystal or calcium, or build a custom profile. AGM is the default. Lead-acid batteries get a five-stage charge, with equalization for flooded and calcium types only. Lithium batteries get four stages and stop charging after absorption, then restart when voltage drops, at 13.3V for LFP on a 12V system.

Built-In Bluetooth and the RICH SOLAR App

Pair it with the RICH SOLAR app on iOS or Android to view real-time charging status. At the controller, the LCD shows solar voltage, current, power and kWh, plus battery voltage, charging current, amp-hours and battery temperature when a sensor is connected. An on-screen bar shows charge in 25% steps.

Recovery for Deeply Discharged Batteries

An override function can recover heavily discharged lead-acid batteries, even down to 0V, and LiFePO4 batteries that a BMS has shut off after over-discharge. Hold the BATT button for 3 seconds to wake the battery. A soft-start stage ramps an over-discharged battery up to 10V before normal charging begins.

Protection and Durable Construction

Protection covers reverse polarity on the solar and battery connections, reverse current at night, over-temperature with current de-rating, and surge suppression at the solar input and battery output. The internal boards are conformal coated, a rubber mask covers the terminals, and the controller is rated IP43. The input and output terminals are rated for 50A.

Real-World Applications

RVs and travel trailers. Mount it flush in a cabinet wall near the battery and check charging from the app.

Vans and campers. A recessed controller keeps a tight interior tidy.

Boats. Install it in a dry, protected cabin space, since it is rated IP43 and should never be exposed to rain.

Off-grid systems. Charge a 24V battery bank from up to 1,000W of solar.

Practical Comparison

BRAVO PRO 30 Versus a Surface-Mount Controller

A surface-mount controller sits on the wall with its housing and wiring in view. The BRAVO PRO 30 recesses into a cutout so only the faceplate shows, which suits finished RV, van and boat interiors. Plan for the 43 mm (1.693 in) of depth the body needs behind the faceplate.

BRAVO PRO 30 Versus the BRAVO PRO 40

Both models share the flush-mount design, 100V solar input, 12V/24V auto detection and built-in Bluetooth. The BRAVO PRO 40 (RS-MPPT40FB) is rated 40A, with a recommended 600W at 12V or 1,200W at 24V. The BRAVO PRO 30 is rated 30A, with 500W at 12V or 1,000W at 24V.

Buyer Guidance

Wiring and Fusing

Rich Solar recommends an inline fuse on the positive wire of both the solar and battery circuits, 40A for this 30A controller, placed as close to the battery or panel as possible. Size the wire by one-way distance: 10 AWG under 10 ft, 8 AWG for 10 to 20 ft and 6 AWG for 20 to 30 ft. Mount the controller as close to the battery as you can.

Mounting and Limits

The BRAVO PRO 30 is designed for indoor, vertical mounting, protected from the weather. Its operating range is -13°F to 122°F (-25°C to 50°C). Keep the array's open-circuit voltage at or below 100V at -4°F (-20°C) and its short-circuit current within 35A.

This May Be A Good Fit If

• You want a controller that sits flush in an RV, van or boat panel
• Your array is up to 500W at 12V or 1,000W at 24V
• You'd like built-in Bluetooth monitoring through the RICH SOLAR app
• You need a controller certified to UL 1741

Common Questions

Does It Need a Separate Bluetooth Module?

No. Bluetooth is built in. Search for "RICH SOLAR" in the App Store or Google Play, open the app and allow Bluetooth access.

Can I Add a Remote Display or Temperature Sensor?

Yes. The controller has ports for Rich Solar's optional external digital remote display and external battery temperature sensor. Neither one comes in the box.

Will It Charge LiFePO4 Batteries?

Yes. The LFP preset absorbs at 14.2V, stops charging once the battery is full and restarts at 13.3V on a 12V system. It can also help wake a LiFePO4 battery whose BMS has shut it off.

How Big Is the Wall Cutout?

The cutout is 172 x 140 mm (6.772 x 5.512 in), with the four mounting screw holes spaced 188 x 90 mm (7.402 x 3.543 in) apart.

What's Included
