Zamp Obsidian 100W Solar Panel

This panel has it all, a low-profile, a narrow footprint, and high output. It is ideal for van conversions, Airstreams, or anyone wanting the latest in mobile solar panel technology. Custom-engineered by Zamp Solar and made in Bend, Oregon.

High Performance:

By using 39 series-connected cells, this panel has an operating voltage of 20.0V, which is slightly higher than the Vmpp of conventional 36 cell panels at 18V. This higher voltage gives a slight improvement in performance on MPPT charge controllers and is a better match for parallel connections to some of the new 180W-200W panels. The higher voltage also results in less line losses on long cable runs with undersized factory pre-wires. Like all Zamp panels, the glass is AR coated and the frames allow for a wide variety of mounting options.

Narrow Footprint:

Conventional solar panels use four rows of 6” cells. But Zamp, with their manufacturing plant in Bend Oregon, is able to string odd numbers of rows to a junction box, allowing for three rows of 13 half cells. At 20.63” this panel more easily avoids shadows from air conditioners on motorhomes, allows for a wider variety of roof rack options on vans and fits better on curved Airstream roofs.

Accurate Ratings:

Zamp is very conservative in their panel ratings. They would rather have an underrated panel than a disappointed customer. When Zamp says the panel is rated at 100W, it will probably flash test closer to 107W. Because of the higher Vmpp and AR coated glass, this panel will deliver more amp-hours per day than a competitor’s 100W panel.

Data Sheet

The Zamp Solar Obsidian 100W panel comes in several kit variants. Select the correct kit to interface with your combiner box.

100W O Raw ATP – This is a solar panel with factory-installed ATP cable and no mounts.

100W OL Mounts 10/2 Cable (Parallel Add-on)– This is a solar panel with AM Solar Obsidian Low Profile Mounts (ideal for vans), and a 15’ 10ga duplex wire harness with an ATP adapter on one end and a strain relief on the other, along with roof attachment points. This kit is designed to interface with an AM Solar combiner box.

100W OL Mounts 10/2 Cable (Series Add-on) – This is a solar panel with AM Solar Obsidian Low Profile Mounts (ideal for vans), and a 10’ 10ga duplex wire harness that splices to the 10/2 of another panel, along with roof attachment points. This kit is designed to series connect with a 100W OL Mounts 10/2 Cable panel kit.

100W OS Mounts 10/2 Cable (Parallel Add-on) – This is a solar panel with AM Solar Obsidian Stabilized Mounts (ideal for Airstreams), and a 15’ 10ga duplex wire harness with an ATP adapter on one end and a strain relief on the other, along with roof attachment points. This kit is designed to interface with an AM Solar combiner box.

100W OS Mounts 10/2 Cable (Series Add-on)– This is a solar panel with AM Solar Obsidian Stabilized Mounts (ideal for Airstreams), and a 10’ 10ga duplex wire harness that splices onto the 10/2 of another panel, along with roof attachment points. This kit is designed to series connect with a 100W OL Mounts 10/2 Cable panel kit.
