Rich MEGA 100 Watt Slim Solar Panel | 12v
Overview
The Rich Solar MEGA 100 Slim 100 Watt 12V Solar Panel is a narrow-format rigid panel designed for tight roof layouts and space-constrained installs. Its slim footprint can be useful when you are placing panels alongside roof accessories like vent fans, while still providing a full 100W rated output. We love using this panel on our Sprinter Roof Rack because it can fit next to a MaxxAir 7500 Fan. Built with AR-coated tempered glass and an anodized aluminum frame, this panel is designed for outdoor durability and off-grid use cases like vans, RVs, cabins, and boats.
Installation flexibility
Pre-drilled holes support multiple mounting approaches such as ground mounts, Z-brackets, poles, and tilt systems. Optimize solar performance when paired with our Stealth+ Roof Rack and correct solar brackets when used on a van.
Key Features
- 100W slim rigid panel: Narrow format panel designed for space-limited installs.
- Positive power tolerance: 0 to +5 W rated positive power tolerance.
- Cell technology: N-Type TOPCon multi-busbar cells.
- Outdoor construction: High transmission AR-coated tempered glass and anodized aluminum alloy frame.
- Weather-rated junction box: IP67-rated junction box.
- Mechanical load rating: Certified mechanical strength up to 5400 Pa positive load and 2400 Pa negative load.
- Wiring support: MC4 Solar connectors with #12 gauge (4.0 mm²) cables.
- System compatibility: Designed for compatibility with mainstream optimizers, inverters, and mounting systems.
