PowerFilm’s Portable Remote Expeditionary Scalable Solar (PRESS) provides 270W using the highest efficiency crystalline cells available. PowerFilm’s PRESS provides either a direct, unregulated panel output or a regulated output through an integrated charge controller. Both outputs include blocking diodes, eliminating any reverse current flow.

 

The regulated output through the integrated charge controller supports traditional 24V systems. The charge controller can be designed to output other voltages as needed. The unregulated output can connect directly to a system with an existing charge controller that accepts 47V-58V.

 

Custom, dedicated cables are available to connect multiple PRESS modules using regulated or unregulated output.

PowerFilm’s PRESS is lighter, more durable, and faster to set up and tear down than other solutions on the market. It also withstands wind loads up to 50 mph when the base is weighted correctly. PowerFilm’s PRESS is the perfect, portable, lightweight field solution to generate power quickly and efficiently.

The PRESS is designed for semi-permanent outdoor use and is 100% waterproof. We recommend connecting each PRESS directly to your battery system. Custom cables are available to connect multiple modules in parallel to provide a higher current to your battery system if required.

 

For larger deployments consisting of multiple PRESS units, lay out all panels (solar side up) flat on the ground first and connect cables so that panels go into operation immediately. Personnel can come back later to set the angles and ballast. If multiple rows are being set up, ensure adequate spacing between rows so that front panels do not shade those behind.

 

Operating Voltage and Current are typical values when tested under load at AM 1.5 lighting conditions. Power performance may vary due to temperature, light spectrum, angle to the sun, and other effects (minimum 95% rated when new).
