Sustainable & Cost-Effective Solution for the Heavy-Duty Vehicle Industry
SunWize delivers reliable power solutions across industries. As part of this commitment, we’re partnering with Apollo Power to bring innovative solar technology to truck and bus fleets, improving efficiency and sustainability.
Apollo Power’s flexible solar modules are lightweight, durable, and designed for heavy commercial vehicles. Not only do they cut CO2 emissions, but they also lower fuel costs and prevent battery discharge—helping fleets meet zero-emission targets. Integrated directly with vehicle batteries, these modules power electrical systems with an average payback period of just one year.
Moreover, Apollo Power’s SolarPaint modules have been field-tested for extreme weather and road conditions, delivering up to 10% fuel savings. Built-in Battery Guard technology prevents battery discharge, enhancing vehicle reliability and operational readiness. SunWize is committed to providing cutting-edge, cost-effective energy solutions that drive sustainability and performance.
How does the System work?
- The vehicle’s solar panels capture daylight and convert it into energy, storing it in the batteries for immediate or later use.
- When in operation, stored solar energy powers the vehicle’s systems as needed. Meanwhile, when the vehicle is stationary, the panels continue charging the batteries. A smart controller regulates energy flow, ensuring optimal battery performance while also collecting real-time data for monitoring and analysis of system efficiency, battery charging, and fuel savings.
- As a result, by reducing fuel consumption and operating automatically, the system continuously optimizes energy use, maximizing performance and efficiency without driver intervention.
Main Advantages
Non-critical solar lighting applications offer key benefits:
- Reduced Fuel Costs – Solar power drives auxiliary systems, cutting fuel consumption.
- Increased Battery Life – Maintains peak battery charge, reducing wear and tear.
- Lightweight Construction – Weighs under 10kg, adding minimal weight to vehicles.
- Easy Installation – Instant retrofit with zero downtime.
- Compliance – Meets anti-idling and noise regulations.
Installation Process
Installing solar panels on buses and trucks involves four key steps:
- Fleet Assessment – Apollo Power experts analyze energy consumption and determine optimal panel placement.
- Custom Fit – Lightweight, shapeable panels conform to the vehicle’s exterior without affecting aerodynamics.
- Seamless Integration – Panels connect to the vehicle’s electrical system to support battery power.
- Rigorous Testing & Deployment – Systems undergo extensive testing for efficiency, durability, and performance before deployment.
