Off Grid Solar Power: Self Contained
Carmanah's EverGEN™ Solar Engines

EverGEN(tm) Self-Contained Solar Engines

The EverGEN™ solar engine is a self-contained power supply that provides 12-volt DC power wherever you need it - generated from the free, limitless resource of the sun. Unlike other solar-power systems, the EverGEN solar engine is completely self-contained, with all components (including solar modules, rechargeable batteries, sensors and electronics) integrated within a sleek, compact and durable pole-mounted design.

Suitable for powering a range of third-party devices such as cameras, sensors, communications equipment, and more, the solar engine can also be paired with Carmanah's industry-proven LED luminaire for a versatile, stand-alone lighting solution.

Easy installation and maintenance-free operation

With no trenching, cabling or permits required, an EverGEN solar engine can be installed in minutes, with minimal technical expertise, at a fraction of the cost of a hard-wired connection. An adjustable mounting assembly allows you to tilt and rotate the system during installation for optimal orientation to the sun at any latitude. Free from the restrictions of a grid connection, the stand-alone solar engine is designed to provide many years of uninterrupted, maintenance-free power - without the monthly utility bill!

Versatile power - when and where you need it

EverGEN(tm) solar LED area lighting
Combine Carmanah's EverGEN™ solar engines with LED luminaires for cost-effective, reliable and maintenance-free area lighting.


EverGEN™ solar engines bring reliable solar power to a wide range of locations: airports, parks, pathways, car parks, campuses, roadways, construction sites, lumber yards, military facilities, ports, marinas and more.

As a portable power source, the solar engine is suitable for a variety of low voltage devices:

  • LED-based lighting
  • Security cameras
  • Remote sensors
  • Data loggers
  • Telemetry equipment
  • Communications (RF modules, Wi-Fi hubs, modems)

In locations where the optimal placement for lighting, cameras or sensors may be impractical or impossible for a traditional hard-wired connection due to a lack of grid access, the advantages of a versatile solar-powered solution are considerable. Locations such as docks, rural pathways, parks, campuses, construction sites, marinas or remote airfields are now easily within reach.

Durable and secure

Designed to operate reliably in extreme climates and harsh conditions at nearly any location on Earth, the EverGEN solar engine incorporates Carmanah's field proven solar-power technology, used in more than 250,000 installations worldwide. The self-contained design protects sensitive components within a rugged aluminum shell, and security fasteners protect the device from theft and tampering.

Intelligent energy management

For lighting applications, Carmanah's optional MICROSOURCE® energy management system (EMS) automatically balances energy requirements with available resources, allowing each solar engine to "learn" and adapt to its environment. With MICROSOURCE EMS, lighting characteristics such as automatic on/off times and default light output levels can also be customized for maximum efficiency, reliability and convenience.
