Foldable Solar Panels

We picked up the 60 Watt panel for those times when we are in camp for more than a night and need to keep our deep-cycle battery charged. We don't typically camp in a location for more than one night, so our deep-cycle battery is charged while we drive. We liked the panel because of how compact it was when stored yet could provide enough power for our needs. The panel has worked flawlessly for the last four years. It has been stepped on, driven over, and submerged in rain/snow (Overland Expo 2015) and kept on working.

We have been using PowerFilm foldable solar panels (60W and 90W) in the Peruvian Andes for several years now to charge a variety of different batteries. At elevations above 5,000 m, solar irradiance is high, yet storms can occur at any time of year. The ability to fold panels up during snowstorms or high winds prevents systems from damage and makes the panels much easier to carry on horses!

We exclusively use PowerFilm Solar products when producing Eye of the Hunter™ in remote locations all over the world. We have tried a variety of products from other manufacturers, but hands down, our most reliable solar charging systems come from PowerFilm Solar. Their products are lightweight, durable, and most importantly, keep our camera batteries charged in just about any weather conditions.
