YOUR SOLAR ENERGY DEPLOYMENT PARTNER
Solar power engineered
for your business
Solar systems built for trucks, trailers, and job sites — cutting fuel costs and keeping equipment running, wherever your fleet works.
From assessment to operation —
one continuous partnership
Every solar deployment starts with the right design
Before a single panel goes on your roof, Velociti consults with Merlin Solar and Stealth Power to size and budget a system around your fleet’s real energy needs — kit components, brackets, and wattage included.
Solar Consulting & System Design
In collaboration with Merlin Solar and Stealth Power, we engineer kit components, mounting brackets, and wattage to match your fleet’s actual energy needs.
Budgeting & System Sizing
Daily energy consumption divided by 350 estimates how many 100-watt panels a vehicle needs — we run those numbers for your whole fleet before you commit.
Go/No-Go Solutions Qualification
We assess whether solar is the right fit for your specific challenge and environment before you spend a dollar on hardware.
Installed on trucks, trailers, and job sites nationwide
Velociti manages the full install — panels, cabling connections, and battery/telematics measurement — through our existing technician network, with project implementation handled from quote to completion.
Hardware Installation
Panels, cabling connections, and battery measurements — including telematics — installed to spec on your vehicles or equipment.
Project Implementation
From quoted hardware to completed install, we manage the project end to end so your team isn’t juggling vendors.
Global Technician Deployment
Our existing technician network installs solar wherever your fleet operates — not just where it’s convenient for us.
We stay engaged long after the panels go up
Solar panels need very little upkeep on their own — but VeloCare backs every install with proactive support and full lifecycle care, so your system keeps performing for the life of the asset.
VeloCare Proactive Maintenance
Ongoing support after installation, whether the equipment is new from Velociti or already part of your existing fleet.
Low-Maintenance by Design
Panels need little more than periodic cleaning to keep dirt, leaves, and debris from blocking the sun’s rays.
Long-Term Performance Assurance
A 15–20 year panel lifespan, backed by ongoing VeloCare support for the life of the system.
A formalized solar program built for fleet and construction assets
Velociti Solar is a formalized service program for partners who need renewable energy on their fleet or construction assets — solar consulting, hardware installation, and full lifecycle support, in collaboration with Merlin Solar and Stealth Power.

What solar solves for fleets & construction
From idle time to inventory costs, solar addresses the operational pressures fleets and contractors face every day — fuel spend, battery failures, downtime, and sustainability targets.
Idle time & fuel cost reduction
Solar keeps auxiliary batteries charged without idling the engine — eliminating jump starts and cutting the fuel burn that comes with running a truck just to keep the lights and A/C on. In the field, that adds up: one large fleet has reported idle time under 1% after adding solar-assisted battery power, and an owner-operator running his own solar Peterbilt estimated tens of thousands in fuel savings in year one alone.
Reduced Maintenance & Operating Expense
Solar-charged batteries mean less strain on starters and alternators, cutting maintenance costs and eliminating emergency roadside assistance calls.
Extended Battery Runtime & Reliability
Keeps auxiliary batteries topped off, increasing reliability for telematics, reefer systems, sensors, and other equipment that depends on steady power.
eHVAC & Hotel Load Support
Powers cab A/C, appliances, and hotel loads without draining the truck battery or idling the engine to keep drivers comfortable.
Minimized Equipment Downtime
Fewer dead batteries and roadside calls keep trucks, trailers, and equipment on the road or the job site longer.
Sustainability & Carbon Footprint
Supports corporate sustainability goals and reduces carbon footprint, with potential for SRECs (Solar Renewable Energy Certificates).
Immediate ROI
Our INSTANT ROI program is built for fast payback, and once installed, the electricity a system generates costs nothing to run.
Solar questions we hear most
Straight answers to what fleet and construction teams want to know before going solar.
A growing number of truckers are installing solar panels for regular, routine battery maintenance — it’s becoming a standard way to keep a truck’s electrical system topped off.
Once installed, panels collect sunlight and convert it into usable electricity for the vehicle — power you can then use to run appliances, lights, and sockets in the cab.
Start with your total daily energy consumption in watt-hours and divide by 350 to estimate how many 100-watt panels you need — for example, 1,755 watt-hours a day calls for about five 100-watt panels. From there, battery storage and module size are sized around how long you need to run without direct sunlight.
Commercial panels are sturdy and need very little maintenance, with a lifespan of 15–20 years. Once installed, the electricity they generate is free for the life of the system.
It doesn’t mean panels, a charge controller, or a battery bank are already installed. It usually means the rig has a solar connection port — on the roof cap or mounted on the side — ready for a system to be added.
Yes. Panels are most effective in direct sunlight, but they can still generate power from indirect or partially blocked light on a cloudy day.
No — panels are waterproof by design. A light rainstorm can even help by washing dirt and debris off the surface.
Very little. Periodic light cleaning to keep dirt, leaves, and debris from blocking the sun’s rays is typically all they need.
Most inverters have status lights: green means everything’s fine, orange signals a potential issue, and a flashing red light means there’s a problem to look into.
Monocrystalline cells are cut from a single source of silicon, which makes them more efficient. Polycrystalline cells are blended from multiple silicon sources and are slightly less efficient, while thin-film costs less but is less efficient still.
No, as long as the laminate isn’t removed. The front sheet uses a well-tested protective material designed specifically to shield the module from UV damage.
As long as there’s no debris on the module or your shoes, yes — though we don’t recommend installing them in heavily trafficked areas, since that increases the chance of damage.
Yes, panels can be recycled once their working life is over.
