High Altitude Long Endurance UAVs
Fly Forever: Revolutionize Aviation.
To maintain continuous operations, HALE aircraft require a renewable energy solution that is both lightweight and powerful. Alta Devices AnyLightTM solar power technology ensures you stay airborne by providing more than 1500 W/kg in a thin, flexible, and easy to integrate custom package.
Fly Forever: Solar for HALE UAVs
Flying forever is the goal for designers of high altitude long endurance (HALE) UAVs. Batteries alone cannot enable continuous operations. As a result, renewable energy sources, such as solar, are needed to achieve multiple week and month operation.
Technology Performance Brief
Selecting Solar for High Altitude Long Endurance Aircraft Whitepaper
The Alta Advantage
Unmatched Performance
by holding single and dual junction solar efficiency records at 28.8% and 31.6% respectively, we produce more power per unit area than any other solar material
Lightweight & Flexible
with a solar cell thickness of 110 um, a mass of only 170 g/m2, and the ability to bend to cover curved surfaces, we are industry leading in our core design
Seamless Integration
into plastic, carbon fiber, fiberglass, or foam molding along with tailored electrical voltage and current output optimized to your power system
