1. Reduced Fuel Consumption & Operating Costs
Solar offsets the electrical load on the alternator or TRU engine, meaning less diesel is burned. This directly cuts day-to-day operating costs and improves long-term fleet ROI.
2. Longer Battery Life & Fewer Jump Starts
Solar keeps batteries topped up, reducing deep discharges which is the leading cause of battery health degradation. This dramatically extends battery lifespan and prevents costly downtime from dead batteries or service calls.
3. Improved Reliability of TRU & Auxiliary Systems
Stable, continuous free power from solar helps avoid voltage drops, ensuring TRUs, liftgates, telematics, ELDs, and other accessories run consistently—even during long shutdowns or cold weather.
4. Lower Emissions & ESG Compliance
Solar reduces idling and diesel use, helping fleets meet tightening emissions regulations and sustainability targets. Great for reporting, ESG commitments, and customer-facing environmental goals.
5. Maintenance Savings & Reduced Wear on Engines
With less alternator load and fewer runtime hours, fleets see lower maintenance costs, longer engine life, and reduced service intervals.
