With our team of experts from the automotive, solar, digital and electronics industries we understand the demanding requirements of solar mobility like no one else in the market. Having deep knowledge and experience in vehicle manufacturing, we know how solar integration systems are to be designed to fulfill automotive and commercial vehicle requirements. From design to validation and series delivery.
Sono Solar develops and delivers a comprehensive product and service landscape around solar mobility. From easy-to-install, plug-and-play Solar Kits to customized high-end series products for vehicle OEMs. Enabled by a strong portfolio of hardware and software products like our Solar Charge Controllers and Solar Modules and our Solar Data Services. Having a strong team of experts, Sono Solar is your development partner for any solar mobility project.
Amongst our customers and partners are some of the largest vehicle and equipment manufacturers – from the Truck, Trailer and Bus / Coach industry. We are proud to work on pioneering projects on several different vehicle types. Learn more about some of our delivered customer projects and partnerships:
Since 2025, MAN Truck and Bus S.E. offers a SonoSolar Solution as an accessory for their Lion’s Coach Series – being delivered and pre-installed in the production line. With that step, SonoSolar and MAN push Solar Integration to the next level. Bus operators benefit from this convenience – and passengers profit from enhanced travel comfort. You want to learn more about the key benefits of solar integration for buses and coach travel?
We have realized several refrigerated trailer pilots with European Trailer Manufacturers over the last years, which are driving across Europe and collect valuable data about Solar Yield and its impact on cooling performance and energy independence. Our High automotive Solar Modules provide free-of-charge and clean solar energy to cool the transported goods – reducing the Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), cut Diesel Costs and reduce charging time. Cooled by the Sun.
We are collaborating on refrigerated trailer pilots together with several TRU (Transport Refrigeration Unit) manufacturers. With those, we have realized electrical interfaces between our in-house developed High Voltage Solar Charge Controllers and their electrical or hybrid powered TRUs. That means, the SonoSolar Solution for Refrigerated Trailers and Trucks is compatible with most TRUs in the market.
We equipped several city and overland buses – electric, hybrid and diesel with our Solar Solution, all over Europe. As one of the most outstanding projects, we integrated solar on a small fleet of Diesel Overland Buses with Scania, a Volkswagen Subsidiary. These buses drive in the City of Lulea in Northern Sweden, proving the high potential, solar integration on buses even has in Northern Europe.
