Solar provides the military with locally generated energy,!
insulated from natural or man-made instability that could put missions at risk!
•  Highly reliable locally generated power!
•  Improved combat effectiveness!
•  Limits costly and dangerous fuel
resupply missions!
•  Reduces generator runtime and
maintenance!
•  Soundless power, reduces audible foot
print!
A family of rugged, lightweight solar arrays that
deploy in a matter of minutes. PAM solar arrays
are designed for expeditionary operations,
disaster relief, and use in remote locations.
Modular design enables field use of single units
by individual troops or multiple units used for
larger tactical power systems or micro-grids.
PAM solar arrays are field demonstrated and
production ready. CTD can tailor PAM solar
arrays to meet varying requirements – power,
size, weight, and cost. !
