Skybuilt Power

Skybuilt Power, was a company based in Arlington, Virginia. Prior to 2013, it received some press attention for the use of its products by the US Department of Defense and CIA. The company was dissolved August 13, 2013.

The company designed portable power stations and devices to be used in harsh environments to provide renewable energy. Its products drew upon a combination of solar and wind power, fuel cells, batteries and diesel generators to generate energy. The company claimed its products can save up to 95% on fuel costs in the field.

The company's main products included:

  • the SkyStation, a complete power station that can be set up in rugged climates
  • the SkySkid, which can be transported easily via helicopter or forklift
  • the SkyTrailer, which directly provides energy to military grade trailers
  • the SkyCase and SkyPAKs, which are man-portable renewable energy generators[1]

In-Q-Tel, a CIA-funded venture capital fund, was an investor in the company. The company was dissolved in 2013.
