Solar Panels from Go Power! Tapped by Cummins Crosspoint
Tough, lightweight, pliable Solar Flex panels from Go Power!, designed to transform roof surfaces of class-8 cabs and trailers into solar collectors capable of generating up to five kilowatts of AC power, are now being used by Cummins Crosspoint.
The technology consists of thin, flexible, ultra-high-efficiency Solar Flex GP-FLEX series panels, originally developed for the RV industry.
According to the company, the system has the ability to produce about 100 watts-per-foot of trailer length. Thus, a 53-foot trailer could support fifty 100-watt panels and generate up to 5,000 watts, or about 280 amps, of DC power per hour.
When combined with a Go Power! inverter, a system can produce up to 3,000 watts of AC power per hour.
Noted Joe Aschenbener, general manager for Crosspoint Power & Refrigeration, “The light, thin Solar Flex system is bendable, can mount almost anywhere and is so durable, you can drive over it without significantly damaging it.”
