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.
