The Rich Solar MEGA 100 Solar Panel With 3/4 Inch Z Brackets Comes Ready to Mount, With 44 Matching 12V Panels on Every Pallet
The Rich Solar MEGA 100 Solar Panel With 3/4 Inch Z Brackets (model RS-M100-MB-44) is a 100 watt 12V panel that ships with its own set of anodized aluminum Z-brackets and mounting hardware. Each order is one pallet of 44 panels, for 4,400W of total rated power.
Every panel uses 33 monocrystalline cells with up to 22.6% cell efficiency behind 3.2 mm AR-coated tempered glass, in an anodized aluminum frame that measures 39.0 x 21.3 x 1.2 inches and weighs 13.2 pounds. Rich Solar builds it for RVs, vans, truck campers, boats, cabins and sheds, certifies it to UL 61730, IEC 61215 and CSA C22.2, and backs each panel with a 25-year power output warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty.
Rich Solar MEGA 100 Solar Panel With 3/4 Inch Z Brackets Features
Z-Brackets and Hardware With Every Panel
Each panel comes with four 3/4 inch anodized aluminum Z-brackets and mounting hardware. Slotted bracket holes and pre-drilled frame holes make alignment easier, and the low 3/4 inch bracket height keeps the panel close to the mounting surface.
33 Monocrystalline Cells for 12V Charging
The 3 x 11 cell layout produces 100W at 18.6V and 5.38A, with a module efficiency of 18.1%. Open circuit voltage is 22.8V and short circuit current is 5.78A, values suited to 12V battery charging through a charge controller.
Glass and Frame Built for Harsh Conditions
High-transmission, AR-coated 3.2 mm tempered glass protects the cells while letting in sunlight. The panel is built to withstand salt, ammonia, sand, high temperatures and humidity, and it is rated for 5400 Pa snow loads and 2400 Pa wind loads. The operating range is -40°F to 185°F.
Checked for Long-Term Reliability
Every panel goes through 100% EL inspection, the cells are PID resistant, and a non-destructive cutting process helps minimize micro-cracks. Rich Solar designs the panel to keep producing on cloudy days and at dawn and dusk.
Ready-to-Wire Leads
Pre-attached #12 gauge (4.0 mm²) leads, 35.4 inches each, end in MC4 connectors, and the junction box and connectors are rated IP67. The connectors support series and parallel wiring.
Real-World Applications
RVs, vans and truck campers. The low-profile Z-brackets suit roof installs on 12V mobile systems.
Boats. Rich Solar lists marine systems among the panel's uses, and the IP67-rated junction box and connectors suit outdoor installs.
Cabins and sheds. Build off-grid 12V arrays with matching panels.
Multi-unit projects. A pallet of 44 identical panels, each with its own bracket set, lets you outfit several vehicles, boats or buildings with the same parts.
Practical Comparison
MEGA 100 With Z Brackets Versus the MEGA 100 ONYX With Z Brackets
Rich Solar's MEGA 100 ONYX with 3/4 inch Z brackets (RS-M100B-MB-44) shares the same 100W rating, 18.6V and 5.38A maximum power point, 39.0 x 21.3 x 1.2 inch size and 13.2 pound weight. This model has a white backsheet, and the ONYX version has a black backsheet.
MEGA 100 With Z Brackets Versus a Panel Without Brackets
A bare panel needs brackets and hardware bought and fitted separately. This MEGA 100 includes four 3/4 inch Z-brackets and hardware with every panel.
Buyer Guidance
Check Your Controller and Wiring
Check each array's open circuit voltage and short circuit current against your charge controller's input limits. Series wiring adds the 22.8V open circuit voltage of each panel, and parallel wiring adds the 5.78A short circuit current. Open circuit voltage rises in cold weather, with a temperature coefficient of -0.28%/°C. The maximum system voltage is 1000VDC and the maximum series fuse rating is 10A.
Plan for Pallet Delivery
Each order is one pallet of 44 panels. Each panel weighs 13.2 pounds and measures 39.0 x 21.3 x 1.2 inches, so plan for pallet delivery and storage space.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You need 44 matching 100W 12V panels
- You want Z-brackets and hardware included with every panel
- You install on RVs, vans, boats, cabins or sheds
- You need UL 61730 certified panels
