SunTarp Solar Arrays

Portable Solar Arrays

Lightweight durable solar array

NUE’s U.S.-designed and assembled SunTarp™ lightweight solar arrays provide the ultimate balance of power production, ruggedness and portability.

Traditional framed glass solar panels are no match for the mono-crystalline MILSPEC solar panels in the SunTarp™. Users no longer have to be concerned about their critical source of energy being damaged from dropping or being hit by flying objects (e.g. rocks, shrapnel). Multiple solar panels in a single folding array allows users to configure the SunTarp™ in a variety of ways to allow charging of one - or several - devices simultaneously.

When portability, ruggedness and power output are paramount, the SunTarp™ is the choice of professionals around the world.

LKD Aerospace offers two models of SunTarp™ the Trifold and Hexfold
