Rich Solar MEGA 200W Briefcase Panel vs Pecron PV200 Solar Panel

Both panels are 200W folding monocrystalline units with IP67 weatherproofing, so the real split is voltage and portability. The Rich Solar MEGA 200 runs at 18.4V and 10.9A, which suits 12V-class portable power stations and PWM controllers; the Pecron PV200 runs at about 38.8V and 5.24A, which suits MPPT inputs and higher-voltage generators. The Rich Solar is the heavier, glass-and-aluminum build at 24 lb with a 25-year output warranty and strong owner ratings; the Pecron is lighter at 17.2 lb and folds smaller, but has less of a track record.

• Choose the Rich Solar MEGA 200 if you are charging a 12V portable power station or PWM-based system and want a rigid glass panel with a long output warranty.
• Choose the Pecron PV200 if you need a lighter, more compact panel and your power station or MPPT charger accepts a higher input voltage.
