About us

TRAILAR is the leader is solar transport technology, with the mission to make your vehicle fleets greener in three simple steps: 1) We apply cutting-edge, ultra-thin solar panels onto the roofspace of existing or new vehicles and connect the panels to the vehicle battery. 2) The solar power generated is then used to power various on-board activities, and even a vehicle's tail lift. 3) This saves you 5 percent of diesel and 4 tonnes of CO2 emissions per vehicle each year! Want to learn more about TRAILAR or you don't find the answer you're looking for in our FAQs? Then please simply drop as a quick message, we will be glad to get in contact with you! ______________________________________ FAQs: Is TRAILAR available for other vehicle types? Yes! A trailer solution will be available in 2019. Research & Development into other vehicles types is ongoing. How long do the solar modules last? They will not need replacing during the lifetime of the vehicle. How much do the solar modules weigh? Just 2kg per square meter! They will have no impact on the overall vehicle load capacity. What if it’s not sunny? The solar modules work in any natural light and are designed to absorb and generate maximum energy as quickly and efficientlyas possible. How often do you need to clean the solar modules? This depends on the vehicle location: less cleaning in wet conditions, more frequent cleaning in drier, dustier conditions. Can the solar modules be stolen? Once they are fitted, they are not visible from the ground. Also, they cannot be removed without damaging them. Can I buy the kit and install it myself? Yes, you can purchase the complete system with fitting instructions.

  • We’re working with Overlander Vehicles Ltd and Hireco World integrating TRAILAR solar solutions to 25 new IVECO welfare vans. Incorporating TRAILAR solar power will keep the vehicle and welfare batteries operationally ready and significantly reduce any unplanned downtime. Even when the vehicles are not in use, the TRAILAR system will ensure that the batteries are always kept at the most optimum level by utilising the solar energy to charge. This non-stop care will also help to extend the component life, more than doubling the lifespan of batteries.   Find out more here: https://bit.ly/40R1DFW
