The Go Power! 110 Watt OBSIDIAN Series 9 Solar Panel Expansion Kit Adds 110W of Low-Profile Solar in an 11-Pound Panel That Fits Smaller Roof Spaces
The Go Power! 110 Watt OBSIDIAN Series 9 Solar Panel Expansion Kit is a 110W monocrystalline panel with pre-installed 1-meter leads, solar connectors and mounting hardware. It has no charge controller, so it adds output to the system you already have without adding bulk.
It's the expansion for the KIT1059 110W OBSIDIAN Series 9 Solar Kit with PowerTrak MPPT Controller. At 42.6 x 21.6 inches and 11 pounds, Go Power sized it for spots where larger panels can't fit.
Go Power! 110 Watt OBSIDIAN Series 9 Solar Panel Expansion Kit Features
A Compact 0.6-Inch Panel
The panel measures 42.6 x 21.6 x 0.6 inches and weighs 11 pounds. Its anodized aluminum OBSIDIAN frame has an aerodynamic shape that keeps the panel close to the roof.
110W Panel Ratings
The panel is rated at 110W, with 20.5V and 5.1A at maximum power, a 24.2V open circuit voltage, a 5.4A short circuit current and a 300V maximum system voltage. You'll need these figures to confirm your controller has room for the added panel.
Nine Bus Bar Cells and Bypass Diodes
The monocrystalline cells use nine bus bars, which the spec sheet credits with improving efficiency, under a tempered anti-reflective glass laminate. The low-profile junction box holds bypass diodes for shade resistance.
Leads and Mounting Hardware Included
The panel comes with pre-installed 1-meter wire leads ending in solar connectors, and Go Power includes mounting hardware in the box.
Real-World Applications
Growing a KIT1059. Add a second matching 110W panel to the 110W OBSIDIAN kit.
Smaller roofs. Use the compact footprint to add solar in a space too small for a larger panel.
Vans and overland rigs. The spec sheet names overland rigs, custom van builds and RVs among the panel's uses.
Practical Comparison
KIT1060 Versus the Complete KIT1059
The KIT1059 pairs the same 110W OBSIDIAN Series 9 panel with a PowerTrak MPPT controller as a complete starting kit. The KIT1060 includes the panel, its leads and connectors and mounting hardware, but no controller. Start with the KIT1059 if you need a controller, and add the KIT1060 when you want more output.
One Small Panel Versus a Single Larger Panel
A larger panel needs one large open area on the roof. This 110W panel fits where larger panels can't, so you can add solar in the smaller gaps that are left.
Buyer Guidance
Check Your Controller and Cable Runs
Compare your controller's current and voltage ratings with this panel's 5.1A maximum power current, 5.4A short circuit current and 24.2V open circuit voltage, together with the panels you already have. The 1-meter leads reach a short distance, so plan connectors or extension cables to join your existing wiring.
This May Be A Good Fit If
- You own a KIT1059 and want more solar
- Your roof has only small open spaces
- You want a light panel with a low profile
- Your controller has room for another panel
Common Questions
Does It Include a Charge Controller?
No. It connects to the controller you already have. The KIT1059 kit includes a PowerTrak MPPT controller if you need one.
Does It Come With Mounting Hardware?
Yes. Go Power lists mounting hardware in the box along with the panel and its pre-installed 1-meter leads.
What Warranty Does It Carry?
Go Power gives the panel a 25-year power output warranty.
