GSE P3-30, 30 watt 12 volt Portable Solar Panel, Desert Camo Global Solar's thin-film photovoltaic technology is enabling solar power products to be portable, flexible, foldable, durable and lightweight. As a result we are able to create solutions for a wide range of military power requirements. The overall benefits of our military solar power products are to, enable extended missions, improve logistics by enabling field charging thereby reducing the number of batteries in the field and provide a significant cost reduction when compared to primary batteries.Global Solar Energy works closely with CECOM and the US Army's Rechargeable Battery Program. Portable Power Pack (P3) 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. Re-charge batteries, power communication equipment and mobile electronics, plus reduce the battery logistic challenge with 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. A primary battery can only be used once. Secondary batteries can be recharged several hundred times. Recent studies show that a P3 solar charger pays for itself in fewer than fifteen recharges. That is equivalent to several hundred FREE BATTERIES! 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. Portable Power Packs and Rechargeable Batteries Using the P3 Portable Power Pack and charge controller, the solar generator can be used to charge any range and chemistry of rechargeable battery. In addition, the P3 charge controller and battery can become a solution for portable remote power needs. The P3 linked with a battery can provide a means for power around the clock.
