Government & DoD Solar Solutions

Since PowerFilm’s beginning over 30 years ago, the US Department of Defense has been our largest lifetime customer. We have provided thousands of solar products for our warfighters and support equipment across a wide range of custom sizes, fabrics, encapsulations, and connectors. We use multiple PV technologies, including amorphous silicon, crystalline silicon, and gallium arsenide. Our products are Berry Compliant and meet MIL-810-G specifications. 

Today PowerFilm offers solutions using our proprietary amorphous silicon (a-Si) film and the more traditional crystalline silicon (c-Si) material. While the a-Si products are unmatched in durability, performance in all lighting conditions, and weight-to-power ratio, the c-Si products offer a greater power-to-size ratio and a more competitive price.

The table below summarizes the standard products PowerFilm is currently providing to our government and military partners. In addition to these products we are also providing another dozen or so custom products with unique voltages, physical dimensions, and private labels.
