Product Description

The RICH SOLAR BRAVO Waterproof 30 is a 30 Amp waterproof PWM solar charge controller designed for 12V solar charging applications. It is suitable for RVs, trailers, campers, vans, boats, and off-grid solar setups.

This controller uses PWM technology with MOSFET switching control and supports smart charging, battery type setting through a DIP switch, and LED indicators for battery condition and charging status. It features waterproof protection, corrosion-resistant terminals and connectors, and internal conformal coating to help protect the board against moisture.
