Custom Solar Solutions
PowerFilm designs and manufactures custom solar cells, panels, and power solutions for energy harvesting, portable, and remote power applications using proprietary thin-film or high-efficiency crystalline PV technology.
We develop high-quality custom solar solutions for IoT, transportation, military, and consumer applications.
Markets We Serve
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.
Design A Custom Panel
OEM business is our business in both B2B and military projects. We will work with you on design and engineering to create a custom energy solution that fits your needs.
Case Studies
Over the past three decades, we have developed custom solutions to meet the needs of many different companies in industries, including telematics, boating, IoT, the United States Military, and space exploration.
