RICH SOLAR 200 Watt 24 Volt Moncrystalline Solar Panel High Efficiency Solar Module for RV Trailer Camper Marine Off Grid

I've been using these panels for 3 years. They give great performance, and in accord with their specifications. Many of the reviews here complain about voltage being higher than 24V. They are suitable for charging 24V systems. That is an entirely different thing than saying these panels will always put out 24V. Here are the specifications for this panel from Rich Solar's web site. Voltage at max power: 36.3V Open circuit voltage: 43.5V (a.k.a. Voc). Temperature Coefficient of VOC -0.28%/°C (This means Voc will increase when it gets cold). Yes you will see 43.5V when it's sunny, your battery is full, and your charge controller stops flow of current into the battery. If it is cold you will see even higher voltage, specified by the temperature coefficient value in the specifications. I routinely see 72V during charging when I connect two of these panels in series. While this won't work well for a Bluetti unit with an input voltage limit of 60V (as one reviewer here described), it works great with any of the MPPT controllers on the market that can take 100V or more, as it has for me for more than 3 years now. If you want lower voltage, check out the specifications for Rich Solar's "12V panels".

Ordered 10 panels and received all on time and in excellent condition despite the best efforts of the shippers. Of the group only 1 had a minor cosmetic flaw in the frame. Checked and got 45V open circuit on each one and connected all in series to verify good connections. Now I just have to get up on the roof and install...😓 Been running with 10 panels for 2Kw set up for 4 months now. The most I get is around 1900W, which is acceptable. They are in a series/parallel set up with a 250/85 controller (48VDC). Open ckt volts should top out at about 235, but will briefly(?) spike above 250V on occasion. Hopefully the controller can handle the issue. After all the work, still satisfied with performance.

I purchased 3 24v 200watt panels 3 years ago. Rich solar panels with Victron solar chargers has my toy hauler fully charged by 10am and in float mode. I had a Jaboni system with 300 watt panel. That panel is still on the roof. By itself it took all day just to charge with a 12v fridge running. No float mode. Wow!!! What an upgrade!!!

These are decent, I’m pulling a little over 500w with four of them. At around $200 a piece you can get more bang for your buck elsewhere. I bought 4 all together and would have returned two but I didn’t want to deal with odd sizes from a different brand.

Works great doubled my solar output only had 400 watts before.
