Solar Manufacturing Partner

We design and manufacture thin-film and crystalline solar panels for demanding commercial and government applications.

Start a Custom Design

PowerFilm designs and manufactures application-specific solar panels and power systems for integration into commercial, government, and OEM platforms.

We operate U.S.-based engineering and production capabilities spanning thin-film amorphous silicon solar technology and semi-flexible crystalline solar panels. Our work supports vehicle-integrated power systems, embedded energy platforms, and remote off-grid deployments.

Our teams support programs from early design consultation through sustained production, combining engineering integration with controlled manufacturing processes.

Operating Principles

These principles guide how we design, manufacture, and support solar systems across commercial and government programs.

Application Specific Design

Solar panels are engineered to meet specific power, environmental, and integration requirements rather than relying on standard product formats.

Controlled Manufacturing

We execute with discipline across design, testing, and production.

Engineering & Manufacturing Capabilities

We design, manufacture, and integrate solar panels for demanding applications.

Design Engineering

We support electrical and mechanical integration across diverse applications, including power management, battery pairing, substrate selection, and panel form factor design.

Our engineering teams work directly with OEMs, fleet, and government programs to develop solar solutions aligned to application requirements and operating environments.

Manufacturing

We manufacture thin-film amorphous silicon solar panels in the United States and assemble semi-flexible crystalline solar panels through controlled production processes.

Our manufacturing capabilities support a wide range of panel sizes, power outputs, and structural configurations for embedded, vehicle-integrated, and remote solar systems.

System Integration

Our solutions integrate solar panels with charge controllers, energy harvesting electronics, cabling systems, and application-specific mounting configurations.

We support system-level integration to ensure reliable operation across diverse environments and deployment conditions.

U.S. Manufacturing

PowerFilm maintains U.S.-based solar manufacturing and engineering operations supporting commercial and government applications.

Proven Performance

Program Track Record

PowerFilm has operated in the United States for more than 30 years, supporting commercial and government solar programs.

Our technology has been deployed across transportation fleets, connected devices, remote monitoring systems, and defense applications.

We support projects from prototype development through sustained manufacturing programs.

Quality & Validation

Our production processes are designed to deliver repeatable solar panel performance across program lifecycles and production runs.

Solar panels are validated through environmental and mechanical testing, including vibration, temperature variation, and long-term outdoor exposure.

Engineering Evaluation
