The lightweight, portable, and rugged characteristics of PowerFilm solar modules and products are ideal for the military and defense markets. PowerFilm has developed partnerships with numerous defense contractors and manufacturers to provide much-needed alternative energy solutions, in the form of solar modules, for military applications.

As costs of traditional energy sources rise, finding alternatives for power becomes imperative. In the military market, fuel costs alone can run into the tens and hundreds of millions of dollars. PowerFilm solar modules, both existing products and custom modules, have proven to be an attractive, cost-effective, and reliable power source for military applications.

The PowerFilm PowerShade serves as an effective mobile remote communications and operations hub, capable of supplying up to 3kW of power in even the most remote locations. The PowerFilm Foldable Solar Chargers have replaced the need to carry numerous and heavy spare battery packs for field communication devices. The PowerFilm Rollable Solar Chargers are being employed to power infrared sensors because they can be left to the elements for months and provide a reliable power source.

PowerFilm's ability to custom manufacture solar modules for specific applications has led to numerous top-secret adaptations for field use and makes PowerFilm a valuable partner in creating new generation military equipment.
