# Polar Power receives 50-unit propane DC generator trial order from SE Asian telecom; potential $60M program

## Summary
- Trial order for 50 propane-fueled DC generators from a major Tier 1 Southeast Asian telecom operator to power off-grid and bad-grid cell sites.
- Next-phase talks cover 200 propane generators; potential five-year program could reach ~2,500 sites and up to ~$60M revenue, but customer has not committed.
- DC generators priced $19,000-$27,000 each; field trials showed ~40% fuel savings vs diesel (59%+ with solar); oil-change interval 4,500 hours vs 250.
- Assuming 2,500 sites, annual fuel savings estimated at $11M-$28M and maintenance savings at $3M-$12M.
- Polar purchased ~2,000 Toyota 1KS engines; previously wrote down ~$4M of usable engine inventory, expects improved margins as volumes ramp.
