A solar energy system for portably providing solar energy features a base unit having a base cavity located therein. A cable notch and an annular panel notch are located on a base side wall. A base first end or a base second end features an opening located therein featuring a first end cap or a second end cap located thereon. The system features power inverter located in the base cavity operatively connected to a power storage component and a solar controller. The system features a solar panel wrapped around the panel notch of the base unit. The solar panel is operatively connected to the solar controller, the power inverter, and the power storage component via cables for operation.

The disclosure concerns a portable system for absorbing shock and carrying electronic equipment. The system includes a container having an open end, a closed end, and an interior wall. The system includes at least one first standoff attached to a first interior wall portion and at least one second standoff attached to a second interior wall portion such that the first and second standoff oppose each other. The system includes at least one piece of electronic equipment attached to a plate. The plate includes a rail. Each standoff also has a groove to receive the rail. The system further includes a relief section defined by an area between the interior wall of the container and at least one of a perimeter of the plate and a perimeter of the electronic equipment. The system also includes shock absorbing properties to protect the electronic equipment from damage.

A solar charging umbrella uses solar power to charge electronic devices wirelessly, such as by a wireless or inductive charging port. The umbrella is self-sustained, capable of charging electronic devices in locations away from electrical outlets. The umbrella has a rechargeable battery that is recharged by sunlight. When charged, the umbrella's battery can charge devices when sunlight is not available. The umbrella supports simultaneous charging of higher power devices such as tablet computers.

A photovoltaic module has a flexible backing substrate, a plurality of photovoltaic cells, and an electrical conduit. The photovoltaic cells are mounted on the backing substrate. Each photovoltaic cell has a metallic article, the metallic article including a plurality of electroformed elements comprising a cell interconnection element integral with a continuous grid having a plurality of first elements intersecting a plurality of second elements. The electroformed elements are interconnected and integral, with the continuous grid in contact with the light-incident surface of the photovoltaic cell. The cell interconnection element extends beyond the light-incident surface and couples the continuous grid to a neighboring photovoltaic cell. The electrical conduit has a flexible strip of electrically conductive material. The electrical conduit electrically couples the cell interconnection element of a first photovoltaic cell in the plurality of photovoltaic cells to a neighboring second photovoltaic cell in the plurality of photovoltaic cells.

A transportable, deployable power system comprising a hybrid power box containing solar panels, wind turbine(s), fuel cells, fuel reformers, and other energy sources. The system could also include waste water and potable water inlet and outlet ports for water treatment. It will also allow for shelf mounted solar and wind turbine installation for disaster recovery, backup power for telecommunication, military power, Homeland Security power, off grid homes and water and wastewater packaging domestically and internationally. The present invention is ideal for any situation requiring immediate power and/or water treatment, such as remote construction sites or in emergency situations. The hybrid power box can be mounted to a standard shipping truck, train, or ship, and transported over land to the desired location.
