Quarter 1, 2026

Each quarter, we gather the latest updates to give you a snapshot of what's new with PowerFilm. Enjoy the Q1 highlights!

We just launched our new 135W Crystalline Foldable Solar Panel!

It’s built for portable power when you need real output, in a compact, foldable design that’s easy to pack and deploy.

• High-output portable power.

• Packs down fast, deploys in seconds.

• Military-spec construction, backed by PowerFilm.

To understand how solar panels perform in daily fleet operations, Nussbaum, a nationally recognized carrier, conducted a side-by-side, over-the-road evaluation of two commercial-truck solar solutions. The goal was straightforward: determine which system consistently delivers more usable energy to the truck’s battery system under real operating conditions.

Extreme weather is a leading cause of truck battery failure in commercial fleets, directly affecting uptime, delivery schedules, and operating costs. This post explains how temperature impacts truck batteries, compares common battery types, and shows how solar charging helps prevent weather-related failures.

Outdoor solar delivers higher output where sunlight is available and larger energy generation is required. Indoor solar excels at low-power energy harvesting in controlled lighting environments, where reducing maintenance and extending battery life matter most.

Designing Your Solar Solution

Have energy targets or system requirements that off‑the‑shelf solar can’t meet? We collaborate with fleets, device manufacturers, and other commercial customers to engineer custom solar solutions with precise power output and application‑specific performance.
