  "summary": "100 W foldable four-segment monocrystalline panel with a Goal Zero blue 8 mm output (14–22 V, up to 5.56 A), 4.6 kg, published Voc 21.5 V and Vmpp 18.0 V. Officially recommended for Goal Zero Yeti power stations; no charge controller included.",
  "description": "The Nomad 100 is Goal Zero's mainstream fabric-backed folding panel: four monocrystalline segments in a canvas envelope, rated 100 W at STC with Voc 21.5 V, Vmpp 18.0 V, Impp 5.56 A and Isc 5.9 A. It uses Goal Zero's proprietary blue 8 mm output (14–22 V, up to 5.56 A / 100 W max), so its compatibility statement is specifically for Goal Zero Yeti power stations rather than generic solar input; no charge controller is included, since it is intended to feed the controller inside a Yeti. Hanging loops along the top edge let it strap to vehicles or tents, and the built-in cable is 6 ft. At 10.2 lb (4.6 kg) it is genuinely portable, and Goal Zero's included charge-time tables cover the entire Yeti line from Yeti 200X through Yeti PRO 4000.",
