Custom Solar Solutions
PowerFilm Solar develops fully customized solar solutions for unique applications, from micro-watt IoT devices to high-capacity military systems. Our engineering team collaborates directly with clients to design panels that meet specific size, voltage, and environmental requirements. These solutions integrate seamlessly with existing electronics and power systems.
Rollable Solar Panels
Our rollable solar panels provide lightweight, waterproof power sources for extreme environments. Designed for commercial trucks, marine applications, and outdoor expeditions, these panels withstand harsh conditions while maintaining efficiency. They feature IP67-rated durability and easy deployment for mobile energy needs.
Military Solar Systems
PowerFilm delivers MIL-STD-810G-compliant solar systems for military operations, including man-portable, vehicle-mounted, and base power solutions. These systems enhance expeditionary capabilities through lightweight, durable designs that function in extreme temperatures and combat environments while reducing fossil fuel dependence.
IoT Solar Power
Our solar technology powers low-energy IoT devices in indoor and outdoor settings. The Indoor Light Series captures ambient light for sensors and beacons, while outdoor panels provide maintenance-free power for telematics and remote monitoring systems across industrial and agricultural sectors.
Golf Car Solar Panels
PowerDrive solar panels extend golf car battery life by up to 50% through SunPower crystalline silicon technology. These panels integrate with existing vehicle systems to maintain charge levels during operation, reducing downtime and extending battery lifespan in commercial and private fleets.
