Solar for the spaces
the big-box aisle forgot.
Sunborne curates portable, plug-in balcony, and expandable off-grid systems for renters, urban dwellers, van-lifers, weekend cabin owners, and homeowners without usable rooftop space — every SKU hand-picked, freight baked into the listed price, and supported by a staffed desk of working solar designers.

Certified gear
Every SKU on the floor carries the listing we can show you: UL 61730, IEEE 1547, IEC 61215 — the parts the spec sheet forgets. No private-label mystery boxes, no relabeled commodity panels.

Freight-included pricing
Listed price = price paid. The liftgate, the brackets, the wiring cover, the second-day residential delivery — all negotiated into the SKU, so the shopping cart is what clears your card.

Real installer design help
A staffed desk of NABCEP-certified installers and licensed electricians reads your space and sends back a panel count, a battery bus, and a runtime budget — same-day, not a chatbot.
04 —
Pre-curated bundles
Three picks we’ve wired together — battery bus, charge profile, freight baked in. One SKU to size against, one click to ask the design desk about.
05 —
Per-space sizing guides
A balcony reads one way, a cabin reads another. Short, honest reads for each space we ship to — what to check, the kit we recommend, and the form that reaches the design desk.

Van sizing guide
Roof space, alternator charging vs solar, LiFePO4 battery sizing for mobile loads, vibration-rated mounting for highway driving, and the off-grid-days budget that keeps the fridge cold.
Catalog
Three categories. No filler SKUs.
Hand-picked portable, balcony, and off-grid systems — the niche shelves the big-box aisle leaves empty.
