PowerFilm Solar Panels
The best in flexible, foldable, rollable solar panels
by PowerFilm
Looking for a lightweight solar power solution? Need something tough, yet easily packed? Need to find the best option for a kayak or canoe trip? PowerFilm is your answer.
PowerFilm integrated solar panels are produced using a unique roll-to-roll process, creating a supple, truly rollable panel that is unlike other thin film technologies that are only somewhat flexible. But, don't let their light weight, flexible design fool you... PowerFilm also comes with the best warranty among flexible/foldable panels.
 PowerFilm solar panels are monolithically integrated which eliminates the need for damage-prone manual connections of individual solar cells. PowerFilm flexible solar panels are made using amorphous silicon, and are naturally free from heavy metals like cadmium that are used in other technologies.
PowerFilm panels perform well in diverse conditions such as hot sun, partial shade, or cold. Unlike other technologies, the PowerFilm chemistry has a very stable output as the temperature rises.
They come ready to connect to batteries, battery chargers, or an array of handy accessories using marine-grade plug and play connectors. Rugged corner grommets are provided for tying the panels to boat decks, backpacks, tents, and more.
Portable solar power has never been more convenient!
