We help hauliers, bus companies and fleet owners reduce fuel consumption by at least 5 % annually - by letting CIGS solar cell technology produce green energy while driving.
We want to make green energy and solar cells an integral part of the transport sector.
We provide intelligent solar solutions for the transport industry that reduce CO₂ and fuel consumption.
The people behind Sunpower2u were among the first to develop CIGS solar panels for the transport sector and are registered inventors on several of the original patents that form the basis of the technology.
Based on this experience, we have further developed the systems and today we offer both standard solutions and enhanced versions, adapted to practical conditions and market needs.
Our experience is extensive and the updated solutions combine low weight, high energy efficiency and short payback time - while contributing to stable operation, lower fuel consumption and a greener transport sector.
Install CIGS solar panels on your vehicles for less than $200 per month per unit and achieve annual diesel consumption savings of at least 5 %.
This means lower fuel costs, less idling and a stronger green environmental profile - without compromising on operation or performance.

CIGS technology ensures continuous battery charging. With solar cells on the roof, you save fuel and avoid unnecessary idling - an optimal solution for modern, efficient transport needs.
The technology enables energy solutions that are lightweight, flexible and customised to the fleet owner's requirements. Whether you have one truck or an entire fleet, you get maximum utilisation of solar energy - without compromising on weight, space or reliability.
When the sun hits the roof of a lorry or bus, the energy is all too often wasted. With CIGS solar cells, the roof instead becomes an active energy source - light, flexible and designed for movement. This way, the sun's potential is optimally utilised, even while driving.
CIGS (copper, indium, gallium and selenide) technology differs significantly from traditional rigid solar panels by being thin, flexible and lightweight. This allows them to be integrated directly onto curved and uneven surfaces, such as the roofs of transport vehicles, without adding unnecessary weight or affecting aerodynamics.
The result is an innovative solution that turns passive surfaces into efficient energy sources - paving the way for a greener transport sector.
With CIGS solar cells, every kilometre becomes more efficient, resulting in significant energy savings.
For the transport industry, this offers a number of tangible benefits:

We've gathered the most important information so you can quickly get an overview and make the right choice for your fleet.
CIGS solar panels are lightweight, flexible and reliable - ideal for vehicles with limited space and low weight requirements. They reduce fuel consumption, minimise idling and increase electrical independence.
In addition, they adapt to curved or uneven surfaces, making them easy to mount on the roof of trucks, buses and vans.
Typically, customers achieve fuel savings of at least 5 % per year, depending on driving patterns and power consumption. In some cases, the gains can be even greater - especially during intensive operation or high loads from cooling and electrical equipment.
This results in lower operating costs, reduced CO₂ emissions and faster return on investment.
CIGS solar cells have a guaranteed lifetime of at least 25 years. They are designed to withstand vibrations, weather conditions and wear and tear from daily use in the transport sector.
The payback time is 8.5 months calculated for a long-haul truck, with average driving patterns.
For a scheduled bus, the payback time is approximately 2 years.
CIGS solar panels are an obvious choice for trucks as they combine low weight, flexibility and high efficiency. They integrate easily on the roof without affecting load capacity or aerodynamics.
The technology makes them resistant to shocks, vibrations and changing weather - ideal for demanding operating conditions.
CIGS solar cells are generally more efficient than traditional solar panels and can utilise sunlight even in cloudy weather or low light intensity. This means that they still provide power even when the sun is not out.
When the sun is limited or at night, the energy demand is covered by the battery on the vehicle's existing electrical system. This combination ensures stable operation and efficient utilisation of solar energy in varying weather conditions.
Victron components are recognised worldwide. They have World Wide Servicepoints and a 5-year warranty on all components.
Victron Charge Controllers are known for the most efficient MPPT (Multi Point Power Tracking) on the market.
SunPower2u solar kits extend the life of the vehicle battery and alternator.
