The P3 Portable Power Pack is used worldwide to provide users an alternate power generator for charging lead-acid, Nickel Cadmium (NiCd), Nickel-Metal-Hydride (NiMH) and Lithium Ion rechargeable batteries. The P3 will enable extended missions, provide energy security, restore power silently and can provide power for remote, portable surveillance equipment. For information on using the P3 for charging a laptop, see the Laptop_Solutions_4_Options.pdf file in the datasheets section of this page. A primary battery can only be used once. Secondary batteries can be recharged several hundred times. Recent studies show that a P3 solar charger pays for itself in fewer than fifteen recharges. That is equivalent to several hundred FREE BATTERIES! Twice the power to weight ratio of alternative solar generators, the P3 is ideal for situations requiring power renewal to batteries and mobile electronics. The P3 Portable Power Pack folds for easy transport and storage. P3-30W shown above. NOTE! To connect this module to the Xantrex X1500 you MUST also use the following items:
If connecting 2 solar panels you will also need:

Benefits:
Global Solar®'s Portable Power Packs are lightweight, foldable power sources for rugged, self-sustaining power. These military grade units use non-silicon based, CIGS (Copper Indium Galium di-Selinide) Technology and are made to take a beating. They'll even take a bullet hole and continue to function. CIGS Technology is also used in the space program. Watch this short video (1.9 MB) to see how Global Solar's P3 units are being used in real military situations. These modules provide a clean, economic energy source for:

*Data at Standard Test Conditions (STC)
STC: irradiance level 1000W / m2, spectrum AM 1.5 and cell temperature 25° C
Researchers at Israel's Weizmann Institute believe they have solved the mystery of why CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) solar cells are so stable and long-lived, even when subjected to the rigours of extreme radiation in space - they repair themselves. New Scientist (28 August) reports that David Cahen and his colleagues used intense X-rays to probe CIGS and CIS (copper indium diselenide), which have similar properties. They found that some of the chemical bonds can be broken quite easily, freeing copper atoms to wander through the crystals.
The material repairs itself, Cahen believes, because of the natural tendency of the copper atoms to distribute themselves evenly and at great speed. They spread into damaged spots in the crystal, where their presence fixes the problem. Cahen finds it remarkable 'that you can have a high-quality electronic material with these atoms running around.'
CIGS cells have a higher efficiency than other thin films. Self-repairing cells should last much longer than other materials, greatly enhancing their use in certain applications, particularly long-term space applications. At least one simulation suggests they could keep on working for hundreds of years. Cahen and colleagues' findings are published in Advanced Materials (vol 11, page 957)
