It uses 36 monocrystalline cells with 5-busbar technology behind tempered glass, held in a corrosion-resistant anodized aluminum frame. At 24.6 x 14.2 x 1.0 inches and 5.3 pounds, it suits installations where space is tight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich Solar builds the MEGA 30 for RV, marine and off-grid installations. It produces 18.2V and 1.65A at its maximum power point, and it carries a 25-year output warranty and a 10-year workmanship warranty.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eRich Solar MEGA 30 30 Watt 12V Solar Panel Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003e36 Monocrystalline Cells Matched to 12V Systems\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe 36-cell layout gives a maximum power voltage of 18.2V and an open circuit voltage of 22.2V, a range built for charging 12V batteries through a charge controller. Rated current is 1.65A at maximum power and 1.82A short circuit. Power output tolerance is ±5%.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003ePower in Cloudy Weather and Low Sun\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRich Solar designs the MEGA 30 to keep generating power in cloudy conditions and during early mornings and late afternoons.
