The original 30A PWM controller did not have adequate instructions for setting battery type, and I gave low marks for this reason. RICH SOLAR provided an updated 30A PWM controller with improved capabilities and instructions, and I am very pleased with the outcome. I have changed my rating accordingly.

Okay so, these came on time and I installed them onto the side of my shed. My plan is to use this solar system to power my shed and also charge my Husqvarna robotic mower, which is not yet set up. If I can, I will set the mower to charge all morning and start cutting around 2pm. Come back and charge and go back out and mow the grass after dark.
There were NO instructions, so I had to come back here and look at the pictures. I’d already watched a million solar-themed YouTube videos, so I was mostly prepared. Mostly. Anyway, looking at the pictures here aided me in the installation. But really, major lost star because of this oversight.
I get a crazy amount of sunlight in my yard, so not being able to use the shed’s roof doesn’t disappoint me. On a very cloudy day around 3pm in the dead of fall, my panels were bringing in about 13/14 volts. On days like that, I expect the mower to either take the day off or, if it charged well the day before, I’ll make no changes. I expect the deep cycle battery to hold a great charge.
It’s a daunting project. But when you start and get a rhythm going, you’ll be done with the setup in no time. I’d say I did this going in blind for about 3 hours and it was all up and running. If your connections are right, the charge controller will display a happy and extremely satisfying smiley face.
I’m hurting for sun since setting up my system, but I’ll come back and update after a very sunny day. You already know what it can look like on cloudy afternoons now. Overall, I’m happy. And after watching a video on Rich Solar being a quality company, I have high hopes.
Okay bye.

I find this product to be of good quality and workmanship. No problems on installation and output is good on each panel. I have installed over 20 panels so far and no complaints.

This is a well-made panel, and includes, literally, everything you need to install it and hook it up to a battery and system for use.
Pros:
Easy mounting instructions. Brackets are fool-proof, connections are pre-made and everything is “plug-and-play”.
System regulator not only is well-labeled, but it shows you where and how much electricity is going where. From the panel to the battery, battery to the system, and current status of each.
Lots of high-quality wire- more than enough for a typical installation between panel, regulator, battery and fuse-panel.
Output of the panel is everything they advertised and more. Extremely high efficiency.
Tech support is amazing. I had one problem, and they took care of it immediately and professionally, even to the point of going above-and-beyond.
Cons:
It would have been nice if the terminals could be removed from the electrical cables so that they could be fished through some small holes. But even this is not a big deal.
No other cons. No complaints. No problems unsolved.
One more thing: Yes, I had an issue with a part. Yes, I contacted Rich Solar in California. Yes, they didn’t even question what I needed. Yes, they immediately shipped me a new one at no charge. Yes, they were polite, professional and even a little apologetic for the “inconvenience” it caused me. YES-THIS IS SOME OF THE BEST CUSTOMER SUPPORT I HAVE HAD IN A LONG TIME!
I appreciate this company and will not only go to them again for solar equipment, but also will recommend them to my friends.

Arrived in good shape, solid frame not much flex when moving the panel
The PWM controller that comes with it works as expected.
Cables are good quality.
Currently charging a 100ah battery with no problems 👍

I have installed multiple solar kits either designed by myself or pre-assembled like this kit. The panels look to be good quality, the brackets are well made and have a nice anodized finish. Wiring looks to be of high quality.
Unfortunately I don’t believe the controller i recieved is functioning properly, and the complete lack of an accurate manual is very frustrating. The incomplete directions are useless.
I am unable to find any link to tech support so I guess the only option is to return?

I installed this kit on my Class C RV in a few hours. Everything needed for a basic instal was included. Plenty of electrical cable. I used the refrigerator roof vent for the solar panel cables. You will need to buy a cable gland ($10) to seal any cable hole you need to drill into the roof vent. These are only 100 watt panels, so you don’t need any of the expensive stuff that the larger installs (Lithium, inverters etc) require. I am using 2 80 AH series 27 wet deep cell batteries in parallel. I also purchased a separate ammeter (($40) to track usage but this is not necessary for the system. The kit did NOT include any instructions, however, unless you are building an involved system, there are many U Tube videos that cover this basic instal. For less than $250 you get the same system the RV stores are charging $1000 for.

I started with this kit to learn about solar power and the most I’ve ever seen it absorb is 14.5 Watts / 5.3 Amps for a total of 76.9 Watts. Normally it’s lower than that on average. I’ve had some trouble with the charge controller cutting off output power but after research I realize it’s a cheapo controller. If someone is reading this and just starting to get into solar, please do your research since it might be better to kick down more cash and get the kit with the MPPT controller instead. Cheers.
