Hello Operators.
Today on OH8STN Ham Radio we are answering the question where we can buy PowerFilm solar panels. I have been using portable solar panels for portable off grid and grid down work, quite some time. The Lightsaver Max, foldable and rollable panels are included in many of my kits. The power to weight characteristics of PowerFilm thin-film amorphous silicon is nothing short of astonishing. This makes it possible to carry a solar panel in a go kit, INCH bag, for bug out, emergency communications or preparedness, without sacrificing weight or space for other items.
In a disaster, we can never know if or when we find ourselves abandoning a vehicle. What we do know from field training is if we have too much gear to carry, we will start shedding the heaviest pieces of gear. I can’t imagine anyone carrying a lead-acid battery or unnecessarily heavy solar panel very far. In a foot race our perceptions change. What we once considered reasonable, gets left behind when shedding weight. Remember “Ounces equal pounds and pounds equal pain”.
