Custom Solar Solutions

Transportation

We don’t just offer solar products for the transportation industry. We design, engineer, and manufacture total solar solutions.

Internet of Things

Devices used in IoT are often extremely low power, light energy outdoors and indoors can be used to extend or replace traditional batteries, making long-term maintenance-free solutions possible. 

Government & DoD

Since PowerFilm’s beginning over 30 years ago the US Department of Defense has been our largest lifetime customer. We offer man-portable, vehicle, and basing solutions

Marine

Whatever kind of boat you have, our solar solutions ensure your boat or lift batteries are ready to go when you are.

Golf

By installing a solar panel on the existing roof of a golf car, you can drive up to 50% farther and keep the batteries in your golf car up to 50% longer. 

PowerFilm’s proprietary manufacturing provides custom amorphous silicon panels that work in any light environment, including the indoor, industrial lighting of many IoT sensor applications.

Celebrating over thirty years in business, PowerFilm is proud to be one of the few US-based solar manufacturing companies operating today.

The Soltronix brand brings PowerFilm expertise, innovation, and commitment to US-based semi-flexible crystalline silicon solutions. Soltronix brings you complete solutions to fit your application, including panels, encapsulation, semi-flexible substrates, proprietary PowerBoost charge controllers, and the collaboration and customer service you expect from a US-based company.

How Solar Panels Work vs Batteries: Understanding the Key Differences

Solar panels and batteries are frequently used together to power devices like telematics systems, starting batteries, refrigerated trailers and power stations, but they operate quite differently.

This blog post will explain the critical distinctions between how solar panels and batteries produce voltage and current. Understanding these differences is essential for designing effective solar power systems and avoiding potential safety issues. 

How To Solar Power Your Golf Cart or LSV The Easy Way

Increasingly, golf cars are also an effective and popular way to get around communities where golf cars and other low-speed vehicles (LSVs) are often the primary means of transportation.

While battery-powered golf cars have many advantages over gas-powered vehicles, they must be charged. To get the most value from a battery-powered golf car, you need a portable means of charging and maintaining those batteries. 

That’s where solar can make a difference. 

How to Power Devices Anywhere with Flexible LightSaver Solar Charging Solutions

With our increasing reliance on smartphones, cameras, and other portable electronics, staying powered away from shore power is more crucial than ever. 

Running out of juice can quickly turn a fun trip into a stressful, hazardous situation. What if you could be fully charged and connected no matter how far off the grid your travels took you?

In a time where seemingly everything requires electricity, how do you stay connected when you’re away?
