Solaris 62
Foldable, flexible 52 watt solar panel

by Brunton (Solaris 62)

The next generation of Solaris foldable solar technology is here. CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium diSelenide) is the most efficient thin film solar technology available. By maximizing performance while optimizing portability, it makes the Solaris 62 one of the most compact high output solar panels available. Compare against the PowerFilm F-3600.

When you need to pack along power for larger demands, like laptops, audio, medical, & special research equipment, the Solaris 62 should be one of the solar panels at the top of your list.

Standard 12V connections...

The Solaris 62 provides a standard 12 volt socket like the one in your car. Use this to connect to battery packs & other 12V devices.

NOTE: For household AC power, like all other solar panels, the Solaris 62 will not run an AC inverter. A battery pack like the OP-7, OP-12, OP-18, or OP-26 must be used to support the inverter's draw.

Can this panel charge AA/AAA batteries?

Yes. The Solaris 62 does not come with an AA/AAA charger, but will easily connect to charger units that offer a 12V connection. Check our extensive list here.

Recommended Battery Chargers

You can charge batteries direct from the panel with the following chargers...

AA/AAA Batteries : Mini DC Charger : PowerEx C401fs
Digital Cameras : Canon, Nikon, Olympus & Others
Need a USB Port? : USB Adaptor

Recommended Battery Packs

Want to store the power you generate so that you can use it anytime, day or night? A solar storage battery pack is the answer. The right battery pack will also let your battery chargers operate at their normal speeds.
Following is what we recommend for this PowerFilm panel...

Brunton Solo 7.5 (12V, small AC, other adaptors available)
Brunton Solo 15 (12V, small AC, other adaptors available)
Outpost Power (larger SLA packs to handle most devices)

Is it a safe source of power?

The Solaris 62 provides a stable output voltage in a wide range of light conditions. The actual charging current will vary with the light intensity, and peaks at about 3.2A.

What's the best way to store the power I generate with this panel?

We recommend the Brunton Solo 15 power pack as the ideal way to store power from your Solaris 62 for use anytime. It charges from the panel's USB output port, and powers all types of USB devices. Simple plug-n-play.

Light, compact, and easy to use. Get into solar with the Solaris 62.
