RICH SOLAR 200 Watt 24 Volt 9BB Cell Monocrystalline Solar Panel High Efficiency Solar Module for RV Trailer Camper Marine Off Grid

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 went 48V with my DIY off grid system. I been running 4 X 12V 100W panels in series for 48V 100W. Found these panels and havent looked at a 12V panel since. I connect two of these in series and get 48V 200W and have seen them put out a steady 215W. My system I am running 4 racks of 12V 100W panels. That gives me 67V 400W at the charger. I added 6 of these Rich Solar 24V 200W panels and it kicked my charge rate on a bright sunny day to 1450W/hr. My daily average is running around 6kw now. I have 2 more panels to add to the system and I expect to see over 7K/day solar production. In my opinion these panels are great and I plan to buy more of them to add to my system. Edit 2 years later.... Reconfigured my system to 24V and 6 of these panels will give me @750 watts which is right at the %60 efficiency rating.

Nice panels for the money Sometimes shipping gets a little ruff with them

I am adding 6 to my system and things were going well, until I went to clamp them together with my other Rich Solar panels that had the same dimensions. They shaved off .2 inches off these new ones making the specs shown false. They show 1.4" and they are only 1.2"... which makes clamping the new with the old impossible. 4 end brackets had to be put between the old and the new panels. Which created another problem, the end brackets minimum height is 1.4" which means I had to cut 0ff .2" of each end bracket I used for these new Solar panels. This messed up my plans for placement but I was able to make it work. Two more of this setup to go. Need 12 end brackets that I had to order. I am also worried that these thinner models may not withstand the weather that the other thicker ones have gone through.

Solar Panel worked perfectly as a replacement for the original solar panel that was blown off with the high winds in our area. We can get in and out of our property!

This panel arrived with a large scratch on the glass, and scratches and dirt on the aluminum frame. It also is not up to specification with regard to it's power output. It is rated as 200 watts +- 5%, which means it should output between 190 and 210 watts under standard conditions. I tested its output using 2 different methods. The first was relative to a 10 kW, 40 panel array, and the second used a solar pyranometer. In the first test, the panel was oriented identically to the 10 kW array, and the measurements were made simultaneously under identical conditions. The measured output was 181 Watts. Using the solar pyranometer to measure incident flux, compensating for the panel temperature, correcting for incidence angle and specular reflection losses, the measured output was 176 Watts. The average of the two separate approaches was 179 Watts, or about 11% less than the advertised output. Based on the condition of the panel when it was received, and its low power output relative to specifications, I have opted to return the panel.

Updated Review after purchasing second 200W 24 volt panel: I was so happy with my first panel that I ordered a second. I connected the in series to charge my Blue Etti even faster. The Blue Etti will work with up to 60v input so it should have worked fine, however, the second panel (or maybe both) are producing way over 24 volts. The name plate for the original panel showed maximum power voltage of 24 volts, the nameplate for the second panel shows the maximum power voltage of 37.6 so make sure you understand the excessive voltage before ordering. I tried to return and get a replacement panel but the company cancelled my return and hasn't responded with any updates. Original Review for first 200W 24v panel Ive been using the 200W mono panel to daily charge my Blue Etti for the last week and it has been working great. It consistently produces 165 to 170 watts (I’ve monitored several days at around 10 a.m. and 2 pm) during the peak solar hours which is good for a 200 watt panel. I chose the Rich solar panel after watching YouTube reviews in which Rich panels typically among the best performers. I was pleasantly surprised when it arrived to see that Rich had improved the packaging, which had been mentioned as being disappointing in the YouTube reviews. My panel arrived with both cardboard and foam around almost the entire exterior. It also appears that Rich has improved upon the quality of the construction compared to what was shown in the YouTube videos. Im completely happy with it and will definitely buy Rich panels gain due to the good price and excellent performance.

I purchased this item almost 2 years ago and decided it was time to do a review on it. Most of the time items that I buy seldom meet the advertised specifications. In this case it is quite the opposite. I just took a reading on the voltage output of the solar panel and to my amazement It was putting out 41 volts with an advertise maximum of 37 1/2 volts. I am completely happy with this solar panel and plan on buying more in the future.
