Zamp Solar

Zamp Solar: Powering Adventure Off the Grid Since 2010

Zamp Solar was born from a moment of necessity. The brand was born in 2010 in a small garage in Bend, Oregon, when founder John Yozamp was asked to turn off a noisy generator powering his sleep apnea machine during a camping trip — and discovered the quiet, transformative potential of solar energy. That personal frustration ignited a company-wide mission that still drives every product Zamp builds today.

In May 2021, Dometic completed the acquisition of Zamp Solar, recognizing it as a leading North American manufacturer of innovative and high-quality mobile solar power solutions. Today, Dometic Mobile Power US, formerly Zamp Solar, stands as the premier solar panel manufacturer in the United States, with patented technology and award-winning designs.

Built in the USA, Built to Last

What truly sets Zamp Solar apart is its commitment to domestic craftsmanship. In 2015, Zamp Solar made the significant decision to move all offshore solar panel manufacturing back to its hometown of Bend, Oregon, handcrafting every panel in Central Oregon as a reflection of its community, lifestyle, and sustainability-driven ethos. This dedication to American manufacturing directly translates to tighter quality control and more responsive customer support.

Zamp Solar stands behind their products with a 5-year product warranty and a 25-year output warranty. This means that if your panel produces less than 90% of its rated output within the first 10 years or drops below 80% within 25 years, you may be eligible for a repair or replacement.

Solar Panels for Every Adventure

At the heart of the Zamp Solar lineup are its flagship solar panels — engineered for the rigors of life on the road, on the water, and far from the nearest power outlet. Zamp Solar leads innovative solutions in the off-grid solar marketplace spanning outdoor, RV, overland, marine, tiny homes, commercial transportation, and first responder markets. Their product range includes both the iconic OBSIDIAN® Series and the proven Legacy Black line, with panel configurations to match builds from minimalist van setups to full-scale RV installations.

Zamp Solar panels are a compromise between standard rigid and flexible panels: light and thin but come with an aluminum frame and don't bend — making them an ideal solution for roof-mounted applications where durability and low profile both matter.

Portable Solar Powered Chargers for Any Setup

For adventurers who need flexible, on-the-go power, Zamp Solar's solar powered chargers offer a plug-and-play solution without any permanent installation. Their portable solar kits include everything you need to charge a 12-volt battery or battery bank, including the panel, charge controller, wires, and connectors. Most newer RVs come with a Zamp solar port on their wall or roof, making it even easier to connect a portable kit and start harvesting the sun's energy within minutes.

Electronics Parts & Accessories to Complete Your System

A solar system is only as good as the components that connect it. Zamp Solar's range of electronics parts & accessories — including adapters, connectors, and mounting hardware — are engineered to work seamlessly with their panels and chargers. Today, handcrafted solar systems power everything from iconic brands like Outside Van, Remote Vans, and Winnebago RVs to roadside safety signs, automatic gates, and even future-ready housing solutions in developing nations. The breadth of that reach is a testament to how well-designed and versatile the full Zamp Solar ecosystem truly is.

Whether you're boondocking in the desert, cruising coastal waters, or building out a stealth van for full-time travel, Zamp Solar delivers the clean, quiet energy independence to keep the adventure going.
