Rich Solar User Manual

Postby MickinOz » Sun Sep 10, 2023 2:55 am

Good day all,
I have an older Rich Solar folding solar panel set.
It is 120 watts (2 x 60W panels hinged)
The controller is an MPPT unit of the older style (no LCD display - see picture)
I have no manual, and I'm fairly sure I've upset the charge mode settings.
I tried the Rich Solar website, and a reverse image search in google.
No joy.
If anyone has a manual that looks like it would suit this particular controller, please get in touch.

I emailed Rich Solar technical support. Got a reply.
"That is not one of our controllers. It appears someone in Australia has been using our name and logo."
Whoa! Counterfeit goods.
:shock:

No only counterfeit but possibly PWM not MPPT. It looks suspiciously similar to one that came with my blanket from XTM.ImageImageImageImage
