The P3 is a solar-energized power generator for mobile power needs. Incorporating solid state, thin-film, PowerFLEX™ solar technology, the P3 provides an excellent choice for situations that require lightweight, durable, silent power. Recharge batteries, power communication equipment and mobile electronics, or increase battery run time the P3. It provides silent energy independence to the user.

The P3 Portable Power Pack is used worldwide to provide users an alternate power generator for charging lead-acid, Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. The P3 will enable extended missions, provide energy security, restore power silently and can provide power for remote, portable surveillance equipment.

Twice the power-to-weight ratio of alternative solar generators, the P3 is ideal for situations requiring power renewal to batteries and mobile electronics. The P3 Portable Power Pack folds for easy transport and storage.P3 Power Packs are available with desert or woodland camouflage coloring. Cables and accessories are available below.

Accessories for Folding Modules

P3 and SUNLINQ folding modules have output power cables with SAE 2-conductor trailer plugs. This 5 piece accessory cable set contains adaptors for male and female cigarette lighter (CLA) plugs, battery clips, an 8 foot extension cable and 2.5 mm coaxial barrel plug.

These can be used to facilitate auto battery charging, using modules to power CLA adapters for cell phones, iPods, radios and CD players. SUNLINQ™ modules have a regulated output and can be directly connected to CLA from portable devices designed to plug into auto cigarette lighter outlets.

P3 modules are unregulated and require a charge controller to safely operate these devices without a battery. The charge control below may be used between the P3 modules and power supplies designed to run on 12 volt battery power, even if a battery is not connected.

The 2.5 mm barrel plug allows these modules to plug into Xantrex Powerpacks for charging.

Global Solar
SUNLINQ Folding Solar Modules

Global Solar’s SUNLINQ with PowerFLEX technology is a flexible, foldable and durable solar product that produces enough power to charge just about anything that is capable of being charged through a standard cigarette lighter adapter and has a power draw of less than the Sunlinq module being used.

SUNLINQ is available in 6.5-watt, 12-watt and 25-watt foldable solar panels. These modules are great for hand-held devices like iPods, cell phones, PDAs and flashlights, but they are not suitable for charging notebook computers which require 50 to 150 watts.

The panels are made with PowerFLEX technology. Lightweight, flexible, weatherproof and durable CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) solar cells provide higher efficiency than other flexible solar cell technologies, including amorphous silicon.

Each SUNLINQ comes with the five-piece accessory kit to make it easy to charge batteries and portable power packs, or run DC electronic devices. SP6.5 and SP12 have built-in charge controllers limiting output to 14.8 volts.

Use the 7-amp charge controller below when using the SP25 to charge sealed lead acid batteries or to connect it directly to devices designed to run on 12-volt batteries.

The SP25 can be connected directly to a Xantrex Powerpack without a charge controller.

PowerFilm Roll Up Modules

These new super-light weight rollable marine grade modules are flexible enough to roll around a 3" diameter tube for storage. Wrap around straps keep them rolled up, and a 15 foot cord makes it easy to connect to any of the accessories. These modules are great for backpacking, camping and trekking.

Ultra Flexible Plastic Solar Modules

PowerFilm® products are paper thin, offer unsurpassed flexibility, are durable, and have a significant weight advantage over heavier metal-based and glass-based solar modules.

Technology

Imagine taking paper-thin plastic film and making it generate power again and again. That’s PowerFilm. PowerFilm integrated solar modules have a paper thin durable polymer substrate 2 mils (0.05 mm) or less thick and are monolithically integrated. Environmentally-friendly amorphous silicon is the semiconductor absorber layer. PowerFilm is developed and manufactured by ITF (Iowa Thin Film) Technologies.

PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics Series

Modules in the PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics Series offer a new opportunity to solve the old problem of limited power for wireless electronics for portable and remote applications. PowerFilm® Wireless Electronics modules are lightweight, paper thin, and durable. Their ultra-thin profile enables them to be easily integrated with devices for solar recharging or direct powering. Modules have been specifically developed to recharge AA, AAA, and 6- and 12-volt batteries. These modules do not have a UV-stabilized surface. For connection, just solder or crimp to the copper tape.

PowerFilm® RC Aircraft Series

The PowerFilm® RC Aircraft Series modules are designed to be easily integrated with RC Aircraft. These PowerFilm® modules are very lightweight, wires can be soldered on the back of the module via the extended copper tape. They have an extra edge seal for protection from fuel contamination and weather. Modules are available with a strong pressure sensitive adhesive for simple bonding. These modules do not have a UV-stabilized surface. For connection, just solder to the copper tape.

PowerFilm® WeatherPro™ Series

The PowerFilm® WeatherPro™ Series is the right choice for permanent outdoor applications that are directly exposed to the elements. The especially rugged construction of these PowerFilm® modules includes a UV-stabilized surface, extra edge seal for weather protection, and tin-coated copper leads that extend from the module. Coating the leads with an RTV silicon compound can provide a tightly-sealed package.

Economy Laptop Solar Charging System:

This is a good solution for powering your laptop and other small devices anywhere. This system has one of our 32.2W compact folding solar panels (the same panel that has been to Everest Base Camp 8 times) and one 16AH power center. This system provides 3 to 6 hours of laptop operation and laptop battery charging in full sun using a standard laptop DC (auto) adaptor (you provide the adaptor). Plug in, open your panel and you have enough power to operate your system just as you would plugged into the wall at home. The power center tells you your current draw from the power center and panel, the panel output and system status.

16AH Power Center included in package:

Anyone serious about powering their laptop in remote locations uses this kind of system. Many vendors sell solutions that are not workable and that won't power your laptop. Laptops consume up to 80W of power. You will not be able to operate your laptop from small panels and usually also you things won't work without a power center (laptops usually demand a narrow voltage range that panels just can't meet, the power center assures that you're where the laptop wants you to be with voltage and current). This system is designed to meet most people's budgets but at the same time to provide a system that really works and performs. This system is incredibly rugged and can be deployed anywhere. We guarantee your system will power your laptop and we will provide necessary tech support to make sure you're system is right for you.
Call us with any questions.

Optional accessories (below) include a 300W inverter (for 110VAC output), a 110V wall charger to keep your system topped off when you're not in the field and an LED StarStik light to provide camp lighting from your power center.

Weight: 32W panel, 5 pounds. Power Center: 10 pounds. Power Center dimensions: 7.5"X5"X3.5". Total weight about 15 pounds.

Our Price $595.
