A compact all-in-one starting point for 12V off-grid power
The RICH SOLAR RS-CK200 brings together one MEGA 200 panel, a BRAVO 30A MPPT controller, an ALPHA 1 12V 100Ah battery and a NOVA PURE 2K inverter. It is a coordinated starter system for an RV, van, trailer, small cabin or selected backup loads with modest daily energy use.
At a glance
The inverter can support compatible short-duration loads up to its continuous rating, but runtime is governed by the 1.28kWh battery and actual energy use. Build a watt-hour plan before choosing appliances.
Why it stands out
System fit
Lighting, electronics, refrigeration and other efficient loads can be a good fit when their combined start-up watts and daily watt-hours stay inside the inverter and battery limits. High-draw heating, cooking or air-conditioning can drain a single 100Ah battery quickly.
In the box
Installation labor, permits, roof sealant, site-specific AC distribution, transfer equipment, grounding and any additional disconnects or protection are not listed as included.
Product confidence
RICH SOLAR applies separate warranty periods and eligibility rules to the panel, controller, battery and inverter. Review the current written terms for installation, registration, operating conditions, exclusions and remedies.
Common questions
It depends on simultaneous watts, start-up surge and hours of use. The inverter is rated for 2,000W continuous output, while the battery stores 1.28kWh nominal; both limits matter.
Not reliably in every location or season. Production changes with peak-sun hours, angle, temperature and shading. Compare expected daily solar watt-hours with the energy used and leave margin for losses.
Some small units may start within the inverter surge rating, but runtime from one 100Ah battery can be short. Check measured start-up watts and watt-hours rather than assuming compatibility from inverter size alone.
No. The listing covers the equipment and named connection parts. Mounting, sealing, electrical distribution, permits and labor remain project-specific.
