Laptop Solar Systems

Now the office can be the beach or on a mountain top.

Just imagine a laptop computer that.............

Doesn't need to be cable fed from the mains every 2-3 hours.

Operates anywhere in the world

For mobile professional and field personnel this alternative to spare batteries is an absolute must

Your portable equipment is not really that portable if you have to head for the nearest power point every 2 hours. Now with this you can have a truly independent power supply.

The light weight and flexible solar power system comes with smart adaptor which can be set to supply 6 –21 volts, key selectable in 1 volt increments and with 3 interchangeable plugs

Tested in the most extreme of conditions  We are proud to say that we have supplied these systems to the Royal Marines for the North Pole 2000 Expedition and also for a single handed crossing of the Atlantic in a Kayak.  £295.00 inc delivery

Portable Solar Systems for expeditions and all remote power solutions

Models: POWER-PAC 10, POWER-PAC 15 & POWER-PAC 30

POWER-PAC portable chargers are extremely rugged, and their unique design makes them easy to carry and deploy.

Solar modules for remote applications must be tough, lightweight and easy to transport. POWER-PACs are designed for the challenge of the field. They provide power even with bullet holes or in partial shade. The POWER-PAC can be dropped, stepped on, packed and re-deployed, and will continue to operate.

Field-proven as dependable and easy to use for military units (Royal Marine Commandos, Polar 2000 Expedition)http://www.teampolar2000.co.uk/, explorers, film units (Denmark Radio for filming in the Brazilian Jungle), ideal for field communications, emergency power and battery maintenance.

The unique design of the POWER-PAC features a lightweight robust and flexible construction without glass or metal frame to break, crack, or add on extra weight. The tough nylon fabric covering allows the unit to be folded to a convenient size, for easy storage and transport.                      

The POWER-PAC 10 offers dual voltage charging for 12v and 24v, the POWER-PAC 15 and the POWER-PAC 30 are for 12v charging.

. Individual solar laminates contain by-pass diodes, making the POWER-PAC solar chargers tolerant of severe shadow or partial covering. The POWER-PAC 10, 15 and 30 are covered by a 5-year warranty.

Specialist systems. We can design and manufacture solar power systems to your particular requirements
