Fleet businesses must reduce fuel costs and extend battery life. Envision cutting emissions while ensuring a swift return on investment.
This is all possible with solar-powered vehicles—even for RVs and off-road vehicles that lack the framework for traditional solar panels.
Apollo Power makes it possible. Our embedded solar panels power trucks, trailers, and buses with no extra weight, as they are lightweight and flexible. Our solar awning solution provides shade and energy for vehicles that don’t even have a structure to adopt a solar system, like RVs and off-road vehicles. And our Apollo Boost system keeps vehicles charged, even when parked.
We are bringing this advanced technology to fleets worldwide today.
Discover how Apollo Power can transform vehicles with solar energy.

How Apollo Boost Works
Solar Energy Collection:
Apollo’s built-in solar panels are placed on the roof, hood, trunk, or other parts of the vehicle. They absorb sunlight all day, even when the sky is cloudy. These advanced panels are designed to capture as much solar power as possible. This ensures a steady and reliable energy source.
Energy Storage:
The collected solar energy is stored inside the vehicle’s battery. This provides a continuous and eco-friendly power supply. It also reduces the burden on the alternator, which helps lower fuel use. At the same time, it extends the battery’s lifespan.
Power Utilization:
While driving, the stored solar power runs the vehicle’s electrical systems. This lowers the need for the engine to produce electricity. As a result, fuel consumption decreases, and harmful emissions are reduced.
Continuous Charging – Even When Parked:
The solar panels of Apollo generate continuous energy output during moments when the vehicle remains stationary. The technology provides exceptional benefit for trucks together with recreational vehicles and corporate vehicle fleets. Fleet vehicles and trucks together with RV vehicles spend long periods without movement while preserving essential systems that require power.
Real-Time Monitoring & Optimization:
Apollo Boost comes with a live tracking system. This allows users to check energy production, battery charge levels, and power usage. With this data, fleet managers and vehicle owners can adjust energy consumption. This helps increase efficiency and lower costs.
It offers a cleaner, cheaper, and more efficient solution for both commercial and recreational transportation. With major collaborations, including Audi, VW, Hyundai, and Amazon, Apollo is leading the charge toward a cleaner, greener world.
