Our story

We are Sara Plaga and Kim-Joar Myklebust, founders of Levante.

The idea of the Origami Solar Panel started from a frustration of ours.

In our travels by sailboat and RV we have often faced a need that has not yet been fully satisfied. Having clean energy wherever we are.

Several times we ran out of power because the solar panels we were using were always struggling to produce enough energy to cover our needs; and we simply didn’t have enough space to install more solar.

The current solar panel solutions that we installed had too many limitations. Rigid solar panels, whilst powerful, are bulky, heavy and constrained to a permanent installation. This greatly reduces the number of applications where a rigid panel is a suitable solution, especially in a mobile context.

Portable solar panels, on the other hand, are too flimsy, still bulky and just not powerful enough to make a meaningful contribution to covering the energy requirements needed when travelling.

So we asked a question: How can we have more solar panels without using more space? 

Our determination to answer this question led to an innovative solution. Taking inspiration from the solar panels used on satellites and the modularity of Lego® we developed the idea for an origami folding solar panel.

The origami technique allowed us to develop a rigid surface that could be folded in a very compact and portable structure.

Through developing and testing this concept with marine industry experts Dan and Kika from Sailing Uma over the last two years we now have a product ready to launch in two sizes 330W and 500W.

Perfect for applications where space for installation is limited, such as on a sailing boat, an RV, overlanding. You can even take it to your remote cabin. The added advantage of being able to easily transport the solar panel means that you can take it with you on all of your adventures, by sea or on land.

Power your freedom, wherever you are
