Our take on the Rich Solar MEGA 100 Watt Briefcase Portable Solar Charging Kit

The Rich Solar MEGA 100 is a folding two-panel monocrystalline kit that opens to 36.4 x 25.2 inches and folds into a briefcase with a handle and adjustable kickstand. It puts out 100 W at about 22.6 V open circuit and 5.78 A short circuit, enough to top up a power station or trickle-charge a lead-acid or lithium battery bank through a charge controller. Buyers rate it highly for build quality and easy setup. It is heavier than flexible panels at 15.7 lb and has no built-in controller, so it competes on ruggedness and output rather than portability or plug-and-play convenience.

Pros
  • Monocrystalline cells with strong tempered glass and aluminum frame
  • Folding briefcase design with handle and adjustable kickstand for aiming at the sun
  • Waterproof construction suited to outdoor use
  • Works with lithium, AGM, flooded and GEL batteries via a charge controller
  • Simple to set up and angle toward the sun
Cons
  • 15.7 lb and bulky when folded, so it is not a hike-in panel

  • 100 W is modest for running appliances, better for charging batteries
  • Needs a separate controller matched to your battery chemistry

What reviewers say

  • 5 / 588 ratings

Owners give the MEGA 100 top marks, praising the solid frame, the easy kickstand setup and steady output for charging batteries and power stations. Complaints are few and mostly about weight and the need to buy a controller separately.

What people mention
  • Build qualityPraisedOwners describe the aluminum frame and tempered glass as solid and long-lasting.
  • SetupPraisedThe folding design and kickstand make it quick to open and aim at the sun.
  • WeightCriticisedAt 15.7 lb it is heavy and awkward to carry far from a vehicle.
  • Charging outputMixedIt charges batteries and power stations steadily, but 100 W is slow for bigger loads.
  • ControllerCriticisedBuyers note no charge controller is included, so one must be bought separately.

Questions and answers

Do I need a charge controller with this kit?
Yes. The kit is the panel only, so add a charge controller sized for 100 W and your battery voltage. It works with lithium, AGM, flooded and GEL batteries.
Can it charge a portable power station directly?
Yes, if your power station accepts solar input in the roughly 18 to 22 V range and comes with its own solar input port. Check the station's input limits first.
How much power does it actually produce?
It is rated 100 W under full sun. Real output is lower in clouds, shade or poor angles, so expect a fraction of the rating on many days.
Is it waterproof?
The panel is built with tempered glass and an aluminum frame and is described as waterproof for outdoor use. Do not submerge it, and keep connectors dry.
How big and heavy is it?
It unfolds to 36.4 x 25.2 x 1.2 inches and weighs 15.7 lb. Folded, it carries like a briefcase, which suits car and RV trips more than backpacking.
What comes in the box?
The 100 W folding solar panel is the kit. Plan on buying a charge controller, cables and connectors separately for your battery or power station.
