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.

Why Solar Power is the Key to Reliable Telematics in Commercial Trucks

Both tractors and trailers use telematics, but their power needs can differ. Tractors typically use the truck’s main battery to power telematics, while trailers often rely on a smaller, separate battery.

Solar power offers a simple, reliable solution to keep telematics running smoothly on the tractor and trailer. 

How Solar Power Can Keep Your Truck's Starting Batteries Charged and Ready

Reliability is critical in trucking, and dead batteries halt operations. 

Solar panels keep batteries charged, preventing jumpstarts, lowering costs, and extending battery life. 

Let's explore how solar power can benefit your fleet.

Boost Your Truck’s Diesel or Electric APU Efficiency and Save Money with Solar Panels

In the trucking world, efficiency and sustainability are critical. 

Companies must cut fuel costs and lower emissions to remain competitive and meet regulatory standards. 

Solar power can play a vital role in this effort by enhancing the performance of Auxiliary Power Units (APUs), making operations smoother and saving money.

How Solar Power Enhances Liftgate Reliability in Commercial Trucking

A familiar challenge drivers face is the unreliable battery power of liftgates, which can run out at critical moments, leading to delays, frustrated customers, and disrupted schedules.

Fortunately, solar power offers a sustainable and reliable solution to keep liftgate batteries charged and operational. 

In this post, we’ll explore the vital role of liftgates in trucking, the challenges of maintaining battery power, and how solar panels can keep your deliveries on track.
