The Recon 300 packs 270Wh of capacity into a solar-ready portable power station

The Dark Energy Recon 300 Solar Generator is the weekend-camp power source for trips where a dead phone or camera battery is a real problem. The solar input pairs with the 270Wh battery so the grid stays optional, and the 300W output means lights, phones, and small electronics can all run at once rather than taking turns.


What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I bring this when the trip runs longer than a phone battery. The 270Wh capacity keeps a phone, a light, and a camera charged through a full weekend without rationing."

Hike & Camp

Dark Energy

A hiker climbs a rocky ridge with a Dark Energy Spectre folding solar panel strapped to her pack, charging a hi-vis green Poseidon power bank, with clouds and forested mountains behind her.

Survives What Kills Ordinary Gear

Power banks, solar panels, power stations, and lights for hard use outdoors

The Full Lineup

A hiker slides an orange Dark Energy Poseidon power bank into a pocket on his backpack shoulder strap.

Power Banks & Stations

From pocket banks to basecamp stations, every size is made to get knocked around.

An orange Dark Energy Spectre folding solar panel unfolded across the top of a backpack on rocky ground, with trekking poles and an orange Poseidon power bank beside it.

Solar Panels

Panels keep pulling a charge in overcast light, so a gray day still adds power.

Lighting

Hands-free, handheld, or telescoping, each light covers a different job around camp.

Accessories

Cables, adapters, and tools that keep the rest of the kit running.

A camper sets up beside a mud-covered Jeep with a rooftop tent while a Dark Energy Recon 2000 power station charges from two Spectre solar panels in the grass.

A Dark Energy Sentinel telescoping light stands on its tripod base at dusk, lighting a grassy lakeshore while two anglers fly fish, with alpenglow on the peaks behind.

A camper works on a laptop at a folding table beside a stone fire ring in light snow, powered by an orange Dark Energy power station with a Spectre solar panel unfolded on the ground and a dog resting nearby.

A Dark Energy Recon power station sits on a fallen log in the woods charging a phone, with a headlamp and a laptop beside it.

A dirt bike rider stops on the salt flats with an orange Dark Energy Spectre folding solar panel strapped to a backpack.

Two Dark Energy Spectre folding solar panels and a Recon 2000 power station set up on a dry grass hillside above a wide desert valley, with the Dark Energy logo centered over the scene.

Power For Rough Country

Dark Energy builds for people who put their gear through the wringer, whether the trip is an afternoon or a season. This is power that stays out of mind until it matters, even when the rest of the kit has taken a beating.
