Solar power solutions from Dometic
Dometic offers a variety of mobile power solutions for fleet operators, including a portfolio of solar power systems for trucks in its Go Power! range.
“There are many good reasons why it pays to invest in a mobile power supply solution based on renewable solar energy,“ said Dometic.
“Continuous battery recharging from a solar panel eliminates dead batteries in almost any application… It gives batteries a longer life and prevents costly service calls due to battery failure.”
In addition to reducing fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, says Dometic, Go Power! solar customers report a 6 to 12-month return on their investment.
“Add years of life of your batteries by topping them up with solar energy. Save costs by replacing batteries after years, not months. Solar systems increase battery run time, because they charge while driving or parked. Customers report an additional 3 hours of run time with 330 watts of solar power installed.”
The range includes Dometic Go Power! Flex solar modules.
“This flexible solar panel produces more power per square foot than any other flat panel on the market,” said Dometic.
“Lightweight and ultra-thin at a mere 3 mm, it bends up to 30° and thus neatly contours to truck cabins, trailer bodies or curved van roofs. The panel is self-adhesive for ease of installation.”
Features include highly efficient monocrystalline solar cells for maximum solar yield per area. The self-adhesive panel is simply attached to the surface and is ultra-light weight (up to 82 per cent lighter than other solar modules). The aerodynamic design reduces fuel costs and emissions, and the system is said to be durable and maintenance-free, with a five-year limited power output warranty.
The modules are equipped with industry-standard MC4 quick-connect cables (work in series or in parallel).
