"PowerFilm Solar was an asset during the development stages of our Ellipse smart bike lock."

"Customers were impressed by the flexibility of the panels, which allow for a unique industrial design that could not be accomplished with rigid crystalline panels. PowerFilm Solar was able to support our prototyping needs creating customizations that we needed at the various stages of the project. The Ellipse is a new take on bike locks, and PowerFilm Solar helped make it a reality.”

"Their capable engineering staff worked closely with Sol-Lux to deliver a custom solar solution that meets our needs exactly.”

“We first conceived our Sol-Lux Eos solar-powered, autonomous window awning over 10 years ago. At that time, we were fortunate enough to identify PowerFilm as the nation’s leading manufacturer of flexible solar panels. We began the design dialog, received samples, and confirmed our ideas were viable. This kept the dream alive and once our parent company, Carefree of Colorado was in a position to strike, we picked up where we left off and PowerFilm was ready to help. Their capable engineering staff worked closely with Sol-Lux to deliver a custom solar solution that meets our needs exactly.”

"PowerFilm is best in class!"

"I used the PowerFilm 21 Watt Rollable Solar Panel (R-21) in my 2015-16 expedition in which I attempted to ski solo and unsupported from the coast of Antarctica to the South Pole. I used the rollable panel to charge various electronics – satellite phones and trackers, iPods, and other batteries – that were critical to my survival while alone on the Antarctic ice for over 35 days. Conditions were predictably brutal, with temperatures colder than negative 20° F, extreme winds, and regular whiteouts, making survival challenging. The panel performed magnificently despite the extreme conditions, providing a charge even in dense whiteouts. Before the expedition, I spent countless hours researching the best lightweight solar panel solution for my expedition and selected PowerFilm's product. I’m glad I did – the panel proved itself time and again. Having used solar panels on numerous expeditions, including a summit of Mt. Everest and a world record crossing of the Indian Ocean by rowboat, I can say that PowerFilm is best in class!"

"PowerFilm has proven that they are committed to improving how the US Army makes power."

"Working with Wesley White and the team at PowerFilm was a great experience. They took me seriously from the beginning conversation, which is not common amongst many companies in the military contracting space. They worked tirelessly to accomplish the mission and made sure that the specifications were absolutely correct before producing a prototype. I enjoyed hosting them at a week-long field exercise where we tested the vehicle-mounted solar power system for our M119A3 howitzers, and the results were even better than I expected. We will be ordering many more panels and air assault capable systems from them in the future. PowerFilm has proven that they are committed to improving how the US Army makes power without the need for fossil fuels and will go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction."

"PowerFilm quality is second to none and supports American workers."

"PowerFilm panels are ideal for bug-out bags and other outdoor activities due to their being exceptionally portable, lightweight, durable, and efficient. Their flexibility makes for a variety of possibilities in terms of how they can be set up, throw it on a tent, hang it from a tree, backpack, or just roll it out on the ground. Most monocrystalline panels I've seen are too heavy to be thrown over shelter setups like tents or too awkward or inefficient in variable light conditions to be effectively mounted to a backpack when mobile. PowerFilm quality is second to none and supports American workers."

"Your PowerFilm product was a superstar and totally outperformed the Goal Zero solar panel."

“My husband and I returned from a remote region in Alaska yesterday afternoon, after 39 days in the backcountry. Your PowerFilm product was a superstar and totally outperformed the Goal Zero solar panel. We had a stretch of 10 days in a row of RAIN, and our Yeti charger was completely depleted. The PowerFilm solar panel was able to grab whatever tiny bits of light made it through the heavy cloud cover every day and give enough power to the Yeti -- albeit sometimes only 20%, but we were thrilled to have anything! -- that we could recharge the electronics essential for our work.

The Goal Zero panel needed full or nearly full sun to generate power. I knew your solar panel wasn't waterproof, so we didn't leave it out in the pouring rain, but it did get drizzled on often, which is standard Alaska weather! This level of moisture did not seem to affect the performance of or damage the panel."

- Mary B. Park Ranger, Alaska

"I would not hesitate to do business with PowerFilm in the future.”

“In my years of voyaging around the planet under sail, I've had the opportunity to work with countless vendors for assistance with the repair and maintenance (and sometimes replacement) of the dozens of onboard systems. Every product fails eventually...usually in the Third World. My experience with the customer service team at PowerFilm has certainly won my continuing faith in their products and their product support. They processed my inquiry quickly and efficiently and expedited shipment of the product to my overseas location with no issues. I would not hesitate to do business with PowerFilm in the future.”

"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 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!"

- Doug Hardy, Ph.D. Department of Geosciences, University of Massachusetts

"The panel has worked flawlessly for the last four years."

"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."

"This little baby performed well as a battery pack."

“My partner and I used the PowerFilm LightSaver on our 800-mile thru-hike of the Arizona Trail. On treks like this, we like to take along a small solar charger. It gives us more battery life for our slightly obsessive photo-taking tendencies and for our phones in those just-in-case moments. This little baby performed well as a battery pack and usually brought both of our iPhones into town without the need to set it in the sun for a charge. When we did set it out or tied it to the top of our packs, it soaked up the desert sun rays more efficiently than solar chargers we've tried in the past. Always opting for less bulk on lightweight backpacking trips, I was also grateful for its compact design.”

- Karrie Kressler, Arizona Trail Thru-hiker

"This is a great everyday and travel accessory."

“I recently spent a weekend camping on the St. Johns River in central Florida. It’s a difficult river to navigate, and I ran a GPS app on my phone while running our boat. My late model phone usually runs out of power after a couple hours of constant use. With the phone connected to the LightSaver charger, which was spread out in the sun, it stayed near 100% power for the entire trip. The LightSaver charger had plenty of power left at night to run a small USB flashlight. This is a great everyday and travel accessory and will be invaluable the next time a hurricane leaves us without power.”

"After installing the PowerDrive solar panel, he doesn’t have to worry about running out of battery."

"We have been using PowerDrive Golf Car Solar Panels on a couple of our electric cars, and the results after nearly two years are very positive. One of the panels is used on the cart of our head greenskeeper, who spends a lot of time on the course during the day. After installing the PowerDrive solar panel, he doesn’t have to worry about running out of battery."
