Obscape is a designer and manufacturer of easy-to-use environmental monitoring products. Their devices are placed in extremely challenging locations around the world including coastlines, ports, offshore drilling platforms. Once deployed, they take photographs and measure wave height, water quality, water levels and water flow.

For Obscape’s customers, product reliability is a critical feature. Obscape outlines the reasons they choose to use Voltaic solar panels in this video.
Voltaic has spent extensive time and resources validating the material stack used in all of our ETFE panels. They have been tested against a wide variety of environmental forces:
- combined UV, temperature and humidity
- thermal cycling
- thermal shock
- vibration
- mechanical shock
- saltwater
- chemical exposure
The solar panels have also been field tested with well over a million panels deployed across a wide variety of use cases and environmental conditions.

Voltaic collaborates with our customers to ensure mechanical and electrical designs follow best practices. Obscape embeds each of the panels precisely and securely in the enclosure which shields them from impact. This design step extends the length of the panel by several years.
