  • Custom-fit mounting hardware, cabling and connectors.

The Key Benefits of our Solar Kits

The key benefits of our Solar Kits are simple and convincing:

  • Save costs by cutting fuel consumption of electronic consumers on board.
  • Save costs and cut vehicle downtime by extending your vehicle battery lifetime.
  • Increase driver and passenger comfort by allowing the vehicle engines to be turned off during breaks.
  • Cut CO2 emissions and contribute to ESG targets.

 

Thanks to our Solar Dashboard – a crucial feature of our Solar Kits – you get valuable insights into your system performance like gained solar yield. It proofs your benefits – and enables you e.g. to reflect the savings in your ESG reporting.
