VICTORIA, BRITISH COLUMBIA, CANADA (November 15, 2011) Carmanah Technologies Corporation (TSX: CMH) today announced the launch of SUNfilm Solar Battery Chargers — a new generation of consumer solar products for the company’s propriety Go Power! brand. The new SUNfilm series feature lightweight, thin-film technology geared to maintain a vehicle’s battery charge during periods of inactivity or storage. The addition of the SUNfilm solar chargers expands Carmanah’s current solar power solutions portfolio to address the needs of new, emerging markets.
The SUNfilm solar series are designed to protect batteries against a vehicle’s continuous power draws. Available as a 1.5 watt, 5 watt or 15 watt module, the SUNfilm products will trickle-charge all battery types including 12V deep cycle, automotive, motorized sports vehicles, RV and fleet vehicle batteries. The SUNfilm products include quick-connect accessories that allow for easy installation and can be modified into portable charging stations for small electronic devices such as cellphones and mp3 players. The SUNfilm battery chargers will operate in overcast conditions and offer a reliable power solution for both indoor and outdoor applications.
“The SUNfilm Solar Battery Chargers satisfies the increasing consumer demand for a maintenance-free, solar energy product.” Carmanah CEO Bruce Cousins comments. “I am confident that the new SUNfilm series meets the cost-effective, portable power solution our customers are looking for.”
The SUNfilm products complement the Go Power! portfolio of consumer mobile power solutions and will provide consumers a complete energy solution. The product suite, which includes pure and modified sine wave inverters, can be combined with the new SUNfilm solar battery chargers for access to AC power without the concern of draining the vehicle’s battery. The SUNfilm series is available throughout the US and Canada.
