Introduction
The Solar Venture 300W Photovoltaic (PV) Array is designed to generate renewable power in
expeditionary applications where weight, rugged design, and extreme portability are factors.
The Venture design can be deployed on any terrain, and the PV array can generate up to 300 Watts
of power for applications where independence from traditional power sources is required:
• PV power generation for remote locations where fuel-driven generators are not an option
• Decreased fuel consumption in a Hybrid Power System (HPS)
• Peak-shaving to decrease reliance on power from utility or grid
The Solar Venture 300W PV Array is modular and scalable, allowing users to tailor power generation
capability to load requirements.
Setup requires no tools and the 300 W Array is “Plug & Play” compatible with Hybrid Power
Systems.
The mono-crystalline cells in the high efficiency Venture-Series panels are laminated onto a carbon-
fiber structure, which combines extremely high PV performance with incredibly light material for
an extraordinary watt-to-weight ratio. The Venture offers a superior integration of technologies to
provide the operator with highest power in the smallest renewable generator footprint.
