When the South African National Defence Force needed portable solar that could survive the field, a Senior Signaller Colonel recognised the strategic value immediately — and chose Flexopower. Our panels entered active service with Signal Formation and Special Forces. Similar panels types were subsequently selected by private anti-poaching units, as well as the Namibian and Botswana Defence Forces.

In collaboration with the mechanical engineering department of the University of Johannesburg — Flexopower launches its first portable power station, the Lithium444. Designed from the outset as an alternative to fixed dual battery systems.

Responding to the ever growing demand for more power, Flexopower was the first brand to launch a portable 400W solar panel and saw an immediate uptake by caravan and off-road trailer owners. Within 1 year it became the second best selling product just behind the Namib240W.

After 14 months of development, Flexopower launches its 4th-generation portable power station. The Lithium2400 integrates FlexoDrive, directly connecting to the vehicle alternator without extra hardware in between, just thick cables and a fuse. Less complex, safe and expedient installation. A true portable dual battery system that moves freely between vehicles, trailers, camp and home. It delivers 2400W AC power, power boost 3600W for permanent use, peak 4800W, a strong 30A 13.5V DC output through a secure Anderson plug at 218Ah useable capacity. At the end of the battery life, it offers the option to replace the battery only— not the entire unit.

FlexoSun165W and FlexoSun260W feature TOPCon technology with almost 26% efficiency, 5 years warranty and outstanding low light tolerance. Replacing the legacy models Namib150W and Namib240W.
