A complete 12V system in one coordinated kit
The RICH SOLAR RS-CK400 brings together two MEGA 200 panels, a BRAVO 30A MPPT controller, one ALPHA 1 12V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery and a NOVA PURE 2K inverter. It is a practical starting point for an RV, van, small cabin or planned backup circuit when you want the major components matched before installation.
At a glance
Permanent wiring, overcurrent protection, grounding, mounting and load planning still matter. Have a qualified installer verify the final design and all code requirements.
Why it stands out
System fit
This system is sized around one 1.28kWh battery. Runtime depends on battery state of charge, inverter losses, surge demand, temperature and the actual wattage of every connected load. It is not sized by the array wattage alone.
In the box
The current RS-CK400 configuration includes one BRAVO 30A MPPT solar charge controller (RS-MPPT30PB). Confirm installation compatibility against the delivered model label and current manufacturer manual.
Product confidence
RICH SOLAR publishes component-specific warranty periods rather than one blanket term for every piece in this kit. Panel, battery, controller and inverter eligibility, registration requirements, exclusions and remedies are governed by the manufacturer’s current written warranty.
Common questions
It depends on simultaneous watts, start-up surge and required runtime. The inverter is rated for 2,000W continuous output, while the battery stores 1.28kWh nominal; use both limits when building a load plan.
This compact 12V kit is not a typical whole-home system. It is better suited to selected loads whose combined demand and runtime fit the inverter and battery.
No. The listing is for the equipment and listed balance-of-system parts. Installation, permitting and any site-specific hardware or protection are not listed as included.
The final configuration must stay within the controller’s voltage and current limits in the coldest expected conditions. Follow the current controller manual and have the array design verified before wiring.
