The Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX 100 Watt 12V Flexible Solar Panel Brings Lightweight 12V Charging to Curved RV Roofs, Boats and Vans
The Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX 100 Watt 12V Flexible Solar Panel is an ultra-thin 12V off-grid panel that delivers 100W from 10-busbar monocrystalline cells with up to 22.8% efficiency. It weighs just 4.8 pounds, is only 0.1 inch thick, and Rich Solar rates it to bend up to 360 degrees to fit curved surfaces.
The long, narrow 57.8 x 15.7 inch format suits RV roofs, boat decks, trailers and van tops. Pre-attached 12 AWG leads, 3 ft each, with MC4 connectors and an IP68 junction box make wiring simple, and the panel mounts with pre-drilled holes or its adhesive backing.
Rich Solar MEGA 100 FLEX 100 Watt 12V Flexible Solar Panel Features
Ultra-Thin and Flexible
The 0.1 inch profile bends to follow curved roofs, decks and uneven surfaces where a rigid framed panel would not sit flat. It keeps a low profile and a clean look once installed.
Light Enough for One Person
At 4.8 pounds, the MEGA 100 FLEX adds little weight to a vehicle roof and is easy to carry, position and install without help.
10-Busbar Monocrystalline Cells
The cells reach up to 22.8% efficiency and keep producing on cloudy days and at dawn and dusk. The 0 to +5W power tolerance means the panel delivers at least its rated 100W at standard test conditions.
Reliable in Heat and Cold
A low temperature coefficient of -0.35% per °C helps the panel hold its output in high temperatures, and it is rated to operate from -40°F to 185°F.
Built for Durability
Non-destructive cell cutting technology minimizes micro-cracks, and advanced manufacturing processes and premium materials improve PID resistance. The panel is rated for 5,400 Pa snow loads and 2,400 Pa wind loads.
Weatherproof Connections
The IP68 junction box and IP67 connectors protect against dust and water for marine, RV and overland use.
Real-World Applications
Curved RV and trailer roofs. Add 100W of 12V solar to a rounded roof without a rigid frame.
Boats. Lay the panel on a curved deck or cabin top to keep a house battery charged.
Vans and overland rigs. The 15.7 inch width fits between fans, racks and roof boxes.
Small off-grid systems. Charge a 12V battery for lights, fans, pumps and electronics.
How It Compares to Common Alternatives
Versus rigid glass panels. Rigid panels need a flat surface and brackets. The MEGA 100 FLEX follows a curve and weighs much less, but it carries a shorter warranty than Rich Solar's rigid MEGA panels.
Versus the MEGA 100 PRO FLEX. The PRO FLEX is the 24V version at the same 4.8 pounds. The MEGA 100 FLEX is the 12V version, with a 17.1V maximum power voltage for 12V systems.
Versus the MEGA 50 FLEX. The 50W FLEX is shorter and lighter at 2.6 pounds. The MEGA 100 FLEX doubles the output for larger loads.
Is This Panel the Right Fit
-
Charge controller. Use a 12V PWM or MPPT charge controller between the panel and your battery.
-
Wiring. With a 20.4V open circuit voltage and 6.13A short circuit current, panels can be connected in series or parallel. Stay within your controller's voltage and current limits.
-
Fusing. The maximum series fuse rating is 15A.
-
Warranty. Rich Solar covers this panel with a 1-year material and workmanship warranty.
This may be a good fit if
- You need a light 12V panel for a curved roof or deck
- You want a low-profile install that adds little weight
- You want a narrow panel that fits between roof obstacles
- You prefer adhesive mounting over a framed bracket install
Common Questions
How Do I Mount It?
The panel has pre-drilled mounting holes and an adhesive backing, so it can be fastened or bonded to the surface.
Do I Need an Inverter to Charge a Battery?
No. A charge controller is all you need to charge a battery. An inverter is only needed to run AC appliances from the battery.
Can the Panel Overcharge My Battery?
Only if it is used without a charge controller. Always use a charge controller when charging a battery.
What Is the Warranty?
Rich Solar provides a 1-year material and workmanship warranty on the MEGA 100 FLEX.
