Ascent™ 40-Watt Solar Charger

The Ascent™ is the culmination of our work with hardcore adventurers, hunters, and special operations communities where reliable solar power can be the difference between mission success or failure..  Sharing a similar set of requirements, we started by blending high-power output in off-nominal conditions with a voltage regulator designed in-house and constructed to maximize power output and survive the harshest conditions. The result was a portable, high-power output, and a rugged charger that withstands multiple deployments in the most extreme environments.  The entire system is modular, featuring mil-spec DC threaded connectors, and we think it looks pretty good too.

The Ascent™ solar charger is one of our favorite products, providing reliable power for portable electronics in extreme conditions, no matter what.  Whether you're charging your satellite phone in Antarctica, radios in Afghanistan, or your laptop in Alaska.

These units are built entirely in Idaho, with over 95% US-made components and are Berry Compliant.
