Polar Power receives new orders for 15 solar hybrid systems in Solomon Islands

August 11, 2026 7:15 AM

Polar Power, Inc. (NASDAQ: POLA) has received purchase orders from a telecommunications company in the Solomon Islands for 15 additional Solar Hybrid Power Systems, according to a company statement.

The orders follow installations completed in 2024 and are intended to extend broadband communications infrastructure to remote sites across the island nation. The company said the new deployments will bring off-grid power to 15 additional telecom locations.

Polar Power's systems combine solar photovoltaic generation, battery energy storage, and DC generator technology. The company states its DC-based architecture eliminates the need for AC-to-DC conversion equipment, which it says reduces hardware requirements and installation costs compared with conventional AC generator setups.

According to the company, the systems can reduce overall size and weight by up to 50% relative to traditional AC generator solutions and can lower carbon emissions by approximately 40% to 90% depending on site configuration.

Polar Power has previously sold DC generators as standalone products in Fiji, Papua New Guinea, Vanuatu, Guam, and Indonesia.

"Each additional installation strengthens our track record and demonstrates the operational and economic advantages of our DC generator technology over conventional AC generator systems," said Arthur D. Sams, President and Chief Executive Officer of Polar Power.

The company noted in its forward-looking statement disclosures that it has substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern, and faces risks including limited cash and liquidity and the potential for delisting from Nasdaq.
