Ready for outages, emergencies and life beyond the grid — camping, overlanding, fishing, remote work, cabins, RV travel and emergency response.
Ten compact modules (target up to 350 lm each) and two wide-area panels (target up to 1,200 lm each). Warm and neutral white, dimmable, red emergency mode. Each module recharges by magnetic dock and is individually replaceable.
Up to 10 distributed PIR motion-sensing nodes over a local wireless mesh (target sub-GHz, 915 MHz US / 868 MHz EU). Adjustable sensitivity, configurable zones, silent alert on the panel or audible siren and strobe. Near-real-time local alerts, subject to range, terrain, placement and environmental conditions.
Up to 400W MPPT solar input and up to 1,000W AC charging. Target 0–80% AC charge in ~60–75 minutes. Target ~3–4 peak-sun hours for a full solar recharge with a compatible 400W array. Actual recharge time depends on sunlight, panel position, temperature and load. Solar panels are sold separately.
Two 120V pure sine AC outlets (1,200W combined continuous, 2,400W surge), two USB-C PD 100W, two USB-A 18W fast-charge, and a Regulated 12V/10A accessory output for compatible portable refrigerators, fans, radios, small pumps and field equipment.
Runtime varies by brightness, temperature, sensor activity, wireless activity and load profile. Final certified runtimes will be published after production-intent testing.
| Device / Load | Target autonomy |
|---|---|
| Modern smartphone | ~50–60 full charges |
| 60Wh laptop | ~13–15 full charges |

| Starlink Standard (~75W) | ~10–11 hours |
| 60W portable refrigerator | ~12–24 h (varies by duty cycle) |
| All ARKON lights @ 50% | target ~18–22 hours |
| Emergency lighting (select modules) | Multiple days, intermittent use |
Runtime estimates are based on target engineering performance and expected conversion losses. Final results will be published after production-intent testing.
Engineering prototype
Battery state of charge, system status, AC / DC / USB outputs, MPPT solar input and perimeter status — all on one weather-resistant control surface (target IP54 while open).
Potentially indefinite off-grid operation.
ARKON combines a 1,024Wh LiFePO4 battery with up to 400W of MPPT solar input. With sufficient daily sunlight and balanced energy consumption, the system can recover the energy used by phones, lights, Starlink Mini, radios, laptops, cameras, drones and other essential devices — allowing you to remain off-grid day after day.
With up to 400W of solar input, ARKON can replenish its 1,024Wh battery every day. Under suitable solar conditions, essential devices can remain powered continuously — turning a limited battery into a sustainable off-grid energy system.
Traditional power stations eventually run empty. ARKON is designed around a renewable daily energy cycle: collect solar energy during the day, store it in the 1,024Wh battery, and use it whenever it is needed. When daily solar generation equals or exceeds daily consumption, your time away from the grid is no longer limited by the battery alone.
Collect solar energy during the day (up to 400W MPPT).
Store up to 1,024Wh in the LiFePO4 pack.
Run phones, lights, Starlink Mini, laptops and more.
Recover the energy consumed the following day.
Continue day after day without returning to the grid.
Solar-sustained operation depends on sufficient sunlight and balanced daily consumption.
Approximate daily generation. Actual solar generation depends on location, season, panel angle, shade, temperature, weather and available peak-sun hours.
| Conditions | Approx. daily production |
|---|---|
| Excellent solar conditions | ~1.4–1.8 kWh / day |
| Typical good conditions | ~1.0–1.4 kWh / day |
| Overcast conditions | ~0.2–0.7 kWh / day |
| Heavy rain, snow, deep shade | Limited production |
Daily solar generation ≥ Daily consumption
= Sustainable off-grid operation
Daily solar generation < Daily consumption
= Battery reserve gradually decreases
ARKON can potentially remain off-grid indefinitely when the energy collected from the sun replaces the energy consumed each day. The system does not create infinite energy — it enables a renewable and repeatable energy cycle.
Starlink-ready for controlled, energy-conscious operation. Runtime and long-term sustainability depend on Starlink model, operating hours, network activity, weather and other connected loads.
Estimate daily consumption vs. solar recovery. This provides estimates, not guaranteed performance.
Under the selected conditions, daily solar recovery meets or exceeds consumption.
Estimates use conservative efficiency losses (~15% conversion, ~28% solar system losses). Actual results depend on temperature, panel angle, shade, weather and device behavior.
Solar-sustained operation depends on sufficient sunlight and balanced consumption. Solar panels sold separately.

Solar-sustained autonomyARKON's 1,024Wh battery provides immediate energy. Its 400W solar capability creates the potential to recover that energy every day — keeping communication, lighting and essential equipment running for as long as conditions allow.
Stay powered for as long as the sun keeps rising.
Camping, overlanding, fishing, remote work, cabins, RV travel, power outages and severe weather. Tap any scene to explore it.
Up to 10 distributed PIR nodes over a local wireless mesh. Configure zones, adjust sensitivity, and choose silent alerts on the panel, an audible siren, or an emergency strobe. Detection distance and response time are subject to field validation.
Near-real-time local alerts, subject to range, terrain, placement and environmental conditions. Not a certified security system.
Target values will be locked after DVT and certification. Weight and final specifications are subject to DVT validation.
ARKON is for customers who value deployment, organization, distributed lighting and safety — not only battery capacity. It's not universally better than every alternative.

ARKON does not attempt to outperform every dedicated power station in inverter wattage. Its value comes from combining serious backup power, distributed lighting, centralized charging, local perimeter awareness, organization, repairability and rapid deployment in one system.
We'll post continuous prototype footage as we clear each milestone. Images and videos on this page are labeled Concept render, Engineering prototype, Production-intent prototype or Final production unit.
Series 01 is in engineering prototype validation. We are testing electronics, battery behavior, thermal performance, mechanical durability and the perimeter mesh across multiple builds before locking specifications.
Next engineering update planned before the campaign launches. Any change from the target values on this page will be communicated before mass production.
Renders are not proof of manufacturing readiness — all hardware footage will identify the prototype stage on-camera.
Solar panels are not included with the standard ARKON Expedition. Series 01 does not include any cellular, satellite, GNSS or software subscription accessory.
Joining the waitlist is free. Kickstarter backers are charged only after the campaign ends successfully and reaches its funding goal. MSRP US$999. Post-campaign direct-to-consumer target US$849–899.
Lifetime system support means ARKON is designed to be maintained, repaired and upgraded — not thrown away when one component reaches the end of its useful life.
Final warranty terms are subject to legal review prior to publication.
No certification is shown as completed unless the documentation exists. No certification logo appears before approval is officially granted.
Dates depend on completing certification and production. If any milestone slips, backers hear about it.
Final customer feedback, engineering prototype testing, campaign live.
Final electronics and enclosure validation, battery safety testing, supplier and component validation.
FCC, UN 38.3, UL or equivalent, and IP validation. Final production tooling.
Quality-control inspection. Packaging and fulfillment preparation.
First units ship to Kickstarter backers in pledge order.
Initial backer fulfillment completes, direct-to-consumer launch begins.
FCC, UN 38.3, UL/equivalent and IP validation can take longer than planned. Mitigation: certification labs pre-booked; buffer built into the Q1 2027 window.
LiFePO4 cell availability varies. Mitigation: primary supplier plus a qualified secondary supplier for the pack.
Custom BMS, inverter and control boards require multiple PCBA revisions. Mitigation: staged EVT/DVT/PVT with documented change control.
Sub-GHz mesh range is affected by foliage, buildings and elevation. Mitigation: field testing across multiple environments before locking specs.
Enclosure tooling frequently needs post-DVT revisions. Mitigation: production-intent tools scheduled before PVT.
Lithium hazmat rules add lead time and cost, especially for international backers. Mitigation: compliant packaging design and multi-carrier strategy.
Third-party QC will inspect PVT and MP batches. Any defect above threshold pauses shipment.
Carrier capacity, customs and hazmat holds can shift dates. Mitigation: transparent backer updates as milestones move.
Long-term support depends on spare-part inventory. Mitigation: parts inventory sized against expected 10-year useful life.
Any spec on this page marked as target may change after DVT. All changes will be disclosed to backers before mass production.
Survivs Technologies LLC is a small hardware team focused on rugged, integrated systems. Full founder profiles, photographs, verified roles and prior experience will be published on this page prior to the campaign launch.
