Liftgates
Tired of failed liftgates? Dead liftgates lower your efficiency and raise your blood pressure. ThermoLite® solar panels power your liftgates with sunshine, a free, zero-emission electricity source that can brighten your bottom line.
Class 8 Tractors
Get the power to rest easy. What keeps you up?

Let solar give you the power to rest easy because tomorrow just might be another long haul.
Transit & Buses
Jumpstart their future, not their school bus. Getting students to and from school safely every day is important for their education and their future. That’s why your buses are equipped with security systems, you replace batteries annually, and jump-start units monthly. There’s a better way to ensure your students get to class on time - one that reduces costly downtime supports sustainability plans and is easier on your maintenance crew and your budget.
Class 4-6 Delivery
Some delays you can’t control; others you can. There’s no way to control the traffic jams, closed roads and bad weather that might delay your delivery, but you can help ensure the optimal operation of your delivery van. ThermoLite solar panels use the latest technology to produce abundant power to greatly extend battery life, prevent costly jump starts and help reduce the cost of replacement batteries, fuel consumption, and delivery delays.
Off-Road Heavy Equipment
Reduce the need for jumpstarts and battery replacements for your off-road heavy duty equipment by utilizing ThermoLite solar panels. ThermoLite solar panels are the ideal solution for large and small construction, farm equipment, power rentals, and site works. Contact your local Thermo King dealer to find the right solar solution for your business.
Personal Utility Vehicles
An under-par score is impressive; an under-par golf cart isn’t. Don’t let an underperforming golf cart leave you stuck in a sand trap. ThermoLite solar panels can help improve the operation of your utility vehicle, increasing its daily range and greatly extending battery life. Less time needed for charging means you’ll have more time to work on perfecting that golf swing.
