Streamlight Announces New SolarStream Solar Panels for Police Cars
Streamlight just announced their new SolarStream product, a solar panel for the roof of a police car. A 14 watt flexible amorphous silicon solar panel with self-adhesive backing provides a low rate maintenance charge to the vehicle battery during daylight hours. Panel material and design allow trickle charge in low sun angle and cloudy conditions. Panel helps reduce the effect of onboard computer system battery drain when the vehicle is off. Maintaining a charged battery state when the vehicle is not in use contributes to extended battery life and a reduction in automobile battery related maintenance time. Packaged with fuse holder and fuse.
The Power You Need
– Compensates for natural discharge and parasitic drains on your vehicle’s battery.
– Provides the vehicle with a 14 watt supplemental power source.
– Dispenses a milliamp level current to vehicle battery, helping to prevent it from draining completely.
Proven Performance with Thin Film Amorphous Silicon Technology
– Adhesive-backed panel is wind-resistant – tested to 120 mph.
– Adheres to a variety of contoured surfaces.
– Allows for maximum solar collection as it is not dependent on mounting angle.
– Continues to collect sunlight in low-light conditions (heat and shade tolerant).
– Performance and durability verified by one year of police vehicle field testing.
– Applicable to fiberglass roofs.
– Designed to reduce concern of overcharging and to prevent reverse charging.
