Pictor Portable Solar Generators Proven at Pilton

Firefly successfully unveiled their new range of Pictor portable solar generators at Glastonbury Festival. The Pictor is the 'little brother' of the Orion portable solar generator and is used to power smaller appliances. They are compact, easily handled mobile devices which are ideal for situations ranging from exhibition stands to trade shows and information points where space is limited.

With a direct 230V AC output capable of delivering up to 400W continuously the units are perfectly suited for powering laptops, TV’s, mobile phone chargers and small projectors. At Glastonbury Festival Pictor portable solar generators were used by Wateraid and Oxfam to power their information and promotional stalls within the hospitality area.

Features of the Pictor solar generator include a built in solar panel in the roof which is fully adjustable to pivot towards the sun and a built in user friendly battery monitor which produces a selection of readings including a read out of the remaining time available at your current usage.

Dan Spencer says “Over the years many potential clients have cited the need for a smaller more flexible and mobile solar generator which still has an output within the league of full scale solar generators."

The new boundary to cross was to create a personal sized system which could be pushed through a door and switched on by a client rather than needing to be driven through a gate and manned by a solar generator technician.

Greenpeace and Wateraid volunteers enjoyed proving the user simplicity of the Pictors for us in the fields of Glastonbury, charging a selection of their phones, laptops and other gizmos - often doing the system switch on and off intuitively for themselves.”
