Expeditionary Energy Built Around the Mission Solar Panels

25 Years of Military Solar Experience

Welcome to SBM Solar

SBM Solar is one of the few U.S.-based manufacturers of non-glass, foldable photovoltaic modules. We bring more than 25 years of military solar-panel engineering and qualification experience into complete, deployable power solutions built around the mission.

Why SBM Solar?

Rugged

Our panels are engineered to survive in extreme and austere environments. Lightweight, shatter- and impact-resistant, waterproof, and low-glare, they are built for demanding conditions. Tested to stringent MIL-STD-810G requirements, SBM Solar panels deliver reliable power where conventional solar solutions may not survive.

Trusted

Proudly U.S.-made, our panels are manufactured in North Carolina with over 99% U.S.-sourced components. Since 2011, SBM has been a major supplier of solar panels to the U.S. Armed Forces. When reliability matters most, our government and military partners turn to SBM Solar.

Mission Specific

SBM Solar designs energy solutions around the mission—not the other way around. Our specialized expertise and proven technology allow us to tailor panel size, configuration, power, and deployment to specific operational requirements, delivering mission-ready solutions that deploy quickly and reduce logistical demands.
