Expanding Applications for DC Generators
DC generators are increasingly used as range extenders for battery-powered devices in sectors such as robotics, drones (land-based battery charging), and communications—where energy needs often exceed the capabilities of advanced batteries alone.
In agriculture, global labor shortages and rising costs are accelerating the adoption of automation and robotics for tasks such as harvesting, planting, monitoring, and spraying. Compact DC generators offer a reliable power source for these systems, especially in remote or off-grid environments.
Transportation infrastructure—including road traffic systems, subways, and railroads—relies on RTUs (Remote Terminal Units) and SCADA (Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems. These typically use oversized generators with expanding battery banks. Polar Power’s compact DC generators provide a cost-effective and space-efficient alternative for extended backup power.
Recreational marine and RV markets are also transitioning to lithium battery systems, creating demand for more efficient and compact charging solutions. Polar Power’s generators meet the needs of customers seeking improved reliability and reduced system size.
Strategic Growth and Product Expansion
“We are expanding our range of power systems to support our goals of customer diversification and increased brand recognition,” said Arthur D. Sams, CEO of Polar Power. “This contract completes our DC generator lineup from 2 kW to 50 kW. Our next development target is a 200 kW DC generator for edge computing and small data centers. We plan to sell directly to large accounts and establish dealer networks for smaller volumes.”
Polar Power’s DC generators, when integrated with batteries and inverters (for AC applications), can support peak loads of 10 to 100 kW by leveraging battery storage to average power usage over a 24-hour period.
