About SolStar

I founded SolStar Energy Devices in 2003 to use the latest most advanced solar technology to develop portable solar energy chargers for mobile satellite communications devices and general electronics including phones, terminals, radios, and laptop computers. Sol Star distributes its products worldwide through leading satellite services companies. Since our founding, our solar chargers have been used by mountain climbers on Mount Everest, emergency response personnel after Hurricane Katrina and the Indian Ocean tsunami tragedy of December 2004, and peacekeepers and aid workers around the world.

SolStar is headquartered in sunny, New Mexico, the birthplace of solar research and development in the U.S. This strategic location provides SolStar with big benefits and advantages such as 300+ sunny test days per year, and access to the most advanced solar research and solar cell technology to be found anywhere on the planet. This is the essence of SolarRad®: SolStar’s unique process that ensures our customers get the most advanced solar cell technology available.

In August of 2004, we launched our first solar product: The SolStar 1i rollable, portable power source for the Iridium 9505 and 9505A handheld satellite phones. Since then, we have added a foldable panel for both Globalstar ( SolStar T-12g) and Iridium ( SolStar T-12i) phones. In 2006, SolStar completed the testing and certification process to bring our SolStar 30 watt and 55 watt products to market to power INMARSAT’s BGAN terminals for mobile broadband terminals and laptops. In 2008, SolStar is proud to introduce solar systems for fixed telecommunications stations and water pump systems as well as our new Solartrack 1.5i panel to charge satellite tracking systems.

At Solstar, we have a commitment to quality. Therefore, we have taken the time to test our products and certified by such industry leaders as Hughes, Thrane, Globalstar, INMARSAT, and Iridium. We know that telecommunications systems can be a big investment. We strive to help you protect your investment by going to the manufacturers who vigorously test our SolStar panels to assure that our products work best with their equipment.

We at SolStar have a commitment to good stewardship of Planet Earth. Of course, being a clean energy company is a great start! Beyond that, SolStar recycles 100% of our paper and purchases supplies containing recycled material to the fullest extent possible.

SolStar products enjoy in the market. We invite you to experience the most advanced solar technology available. Performance and innovation--- this is the SolStar difference.

Very truly yours,
