25 Years of Engineering Energy Around the Mission.
For more than 25 years, SBM Solar has taken a different approach to solar energy. Rather than adapting standard commercial products for demanding applications, we develop lightweight, rugged, non-glass solar technology around the requirements of the mission.
Headquartered in Concord, North Carolina, SBM combines U.S.-based manufacturing with decades of experience in military solar-panel design, engineering, qualification, and production.
Our experience goes beyond designing solar panels. We understand how solar technology must perform when it is transported repeatedly, deployed quickly, exposed to harsh environments, and relied upon far from conventional power infrastructure. That experience influences everything we design today—from portable and foldable solar panels to integrated expeditionary and hybrid energy systems.
SBM Solar was founded in 2001 with a vision for a different kind of solar technology: lightweight, durable, adaptable, and capable of performing where conventional glass solar panels were not the right solution.
Over the past 25 years, that engineering philosophy has evolved through military programs, customer requirements, field experience, rigorous testing, and continuous product development. Today, that accumulated knowledge forms the foundation for SBM Solar’s next generation of expeditionary energy solutions.
