Origami Solar Panel

June 28, 2023

 

 

Levante is a portable origami solar panel that folds down to a shape 9x smaller for travel, 40% more compact than foldable panels. The panels provide a maximum of 500 watts of power for the larger version, and 330 watts for the standard model. The Levante uses monocrystalline silicon crystals with 23.4% conversion efficiency to generate power for a portable power station, boat or car solar charger, or a micro-inverter at home. The dimensions of the standard model when open is 71 x 65 x 1 inches (180 x 165 x 2 cm), the dimensions closed are 47 x 16 x 2 inches (119 x 40 x 5 cm). The weight is 20lbs (9 kg). The Levante is modular, so you can use less panels when you don't need as much power, and add panels if demand is high.
