[](https://www.powerfilmsolar.com/) - [Markets](https://www.powerfilmsolar.com/markets) - Government & DoD For more than 30 years, we have supported U.S. Government and Department of Defense programs with engineered solar power solutions. The Department of Defense has been our largest lifetime customer, with thousands of systems deployed across mission equipment, support assets, and field operations. ## Benefits #### **Reduced Logistical Burden** Reduce fuel loads and battery resupply missions. #### **Persistent Field Power** Sustain critical electronics without generator support. #### **Silent Field Operation** Operate without generator noise during deployment. #### **Lower Lifecycle Cost** Reduce maintenance events and component replacements. ## Field-Proven Performance > Working with Wesley White and the team at PowerFilm was a great experience. They took me seriously from the beginning conversation, which is not common amongst many companies in the military contracting space. They worked tirelessly to accomplish the mission and made sure that the specifications were absolutely correct before producing a prototype. I enjoyed hosting them at a week-long field exercise where we tested the vehicle-mounted solar power system for our M119A3 howitzers, and the results were even better than I expected. We will be ordering many more panels and air assault capable systems from them in the future. PowerFilm has proven that they are committed to improving how the US Army makes power without the need for fossil fuels and will go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.
