215 Watt OBSIDIAN Series 9 Solar Panel Expansion Kit
KIT1053 – 215W OBSIDIAN™ Series 9 Expansion Kit
The 215W OBSIDIAN™ Series 9 Expansion Kit (KIT1053) is engineered to significantly increase solar output for demanding mobile and off‑grid power systems. Designed for overland vehicles, vans, RVs, and remote installations, this kit delivers high‑capacity, North American‑made performance in a rugged, low‑profile form.
The kit includes a 215‑watt OBSIDIAN Series 9 monocrystalline solar panel, featuring advanced 9‑bus bar cell technology to improve current collection and maintain efficiency in partial‑shade conditions. Built in Canada, the panel combines tempered anti‑reflective glass, a low‑profile junction box with bypass diodes, and a patented aerodynamic anodized aluminum OBSIDIAN® frame for long‑term durability in harsh environments.
Pre‑installed MC4‑terminated wire leads enable secure, plug‑and‑play integration when expanding compatible solar systems.
Backed by a 25‑year power output warranty, the KIT1053 is ideal for users looking to maximize energy production from limited roof or mounting space.
