Products LightSavers * LightSavers LightSaver systems integrate rollable thin-film solar panels, internal lithium battery, and regulated 5V USB or 12V DC outputs into a single DC power platform. Field-Deployable Power Platforms LightSaver units integrate solar generation, lithium storage, and DC regulation in a single enclosure. No external controller or separate battery required. ## Field-Deployable Power Platforms LightSaver units integrate solar generation, lithium storage, and DC regulation in a single enclosure. No external controller or separate battery required. Rollable Thin-Film Thin-film construction withstands deployment cycles. #### Rollable Thin-Film Thin-film construction withstands deployment cycles. Integrated Storage Internal battery supports operation without sunlight. #### Integrated Storage Internal battery supports operation without sunlight. Regulated Outputs Provides 5V USB and 12V DC output for field electronics. #### Regulated Outputs Provides 5V USB and 12V DC output for field electronics. DC Power System All power systems integrated in one enclosure. #### DC Power System All power systems integrated in one enclosure. Integrated System Construction LightSaver systems integrate a rollable thin-film solar panel, lithium storage, and regulated DC output circuitry within a reinforced textile enclosure. Thin-Film Structural Design Thin-film architecture uses a flexible substrate to withstand repeated transport and deployment cycles. The reinforced enclosure protects internal electronics from abrasion. Direct Field Deployment The panel deploys by unrolling in sunlight and connects directly to devices. Stored energy supports operation in low-light or nighttime conditions without external controllers or battery packs. ### Integrated System Construction LightSaver systems integrate a rollable thin-film solar panel, lithium storage, and regulated DC output circuitry within a reinforced textile enclosure. ### Thin-Film Structural Design Thin-film architecture uses a flexible substrate to withstand repeated transport and deployment cycles.

Integrated Portable Charging "I recently spent a weekend camping on the St. Johns River in central Florida. It’s a difficult river to navigate, and I ran a GPS app on my phone while running our boat. My late model phone usually runs out of power after a couple hours of constant use. With the phone connected to the LightSaver charger, which was spread out in the sun, it stayed near 100% power for the entire trip. The LightSaver charger had plenty of power left at night to run a small USB flashlight. This is a great everyday and travel accessory and will be invaluable the next time a hurricane leaves us without power." T.J. Bettis Orlando Outfitters "My partner and I used the PowerFilm LightSaver (LS-1) on our 800-mile thru-hike of the Arizona Trail. On treks like this, we like to take along a small solar charger. It gives us more battery life for our slightly obsessive photo-taking tendencies and for our phones in those just-in-case moments. This little baby performed well as a battery pack and usually brought both of our iPhones into town without the need to set it in the sun for a charge. When we did set it out or tied it to the top of our packs, it soaked up the desert sun rays more efficiently than solar chargers we've tried in the past. Always opting for less bulk on lightweight backpacking trips, I was also grateful for its compact design." Karrie Kressler Arizona Trail Thru-hiker "The LightSaver (LS-1) was the perfect charger for us to bring on our 66-day canoe trip! It was compact, lightweight, and easy to set up and lay out on the canoe while paddling on a sunny day. We used the LightSaver to keep our cameras and InReach satellite phone charged. I don't know how we would have kept these things going without a solar charger. Thank you so much!"
