THERMO KING SOLAR PANELS
Harness the power of the sun and eliminate flat battery callouts
Thermo King solar panels provide a sustainable power management solution for truck and trailer refrigeration units, increasing battery life while reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
Tough, weatherproof panels collect solar energy, even when light levels are low to keep your battery in prime condition. Your engines will no longer operate just to charge the battery, reducing fuel consumption and CO₂ emissions while helping to meet sustainability goals.
Thermo King Solar Panels - Multiple Choice
Thermo King solar panels come in various sizes and capacities. Choose one or combine panels to best suit your needs.
12 Volt ThermoLite™ solar panel for truck trailer refrigeration units - 40w/110W
The 12V models (40W & 110W) are designed to use on your refrigeration unit (even competitor’s unit). With combined solar power, your unit is always doing what you need it to do – protecting your cargo – rather than using energy and fuel to top up its battery.
24 Volt ThermoLite™ solar panel - 40w/110W
Our range includes two 24V models, for extra performance on tractor and tail lift applications.
NEW - ThermoLite™ solar panels for advancer - 40W and 50W
Advancer units with an integrated solar panel on the unit (50W) can be powered up as well. Thermo King now offers a second solar panel of 40W to increase the total power to 90W. The additional panel integrates with your existing set-up and charge controller and is suitable for vehicles that already have a Thermo King solar panel installed. Adding the extra panel is recommended when the Advancer unit solar panel is positioned 5 cm or more below the trailer roof. This will enable the benefit from the fuel savings associated with the reduction of ‘null run’ time in Cycle-Sentry. To find the right solution, ask your dealer about the Solar Savings Calculator Tool.
