    Fleets can now take advantage of solar equipment to charge batteries in both trucks and trailers. By working closely with clients and trucking industry leaders, Purkeys announced it has created two product lines, the Solar Bolt and Solar Dash, to solve problems fleets encounter in their daily operations.

    The Solar Bolt is installed on the roof of a trailer to provide a constant charge to electrical accessories such as liftgate batteries and reefers. The Solar Dash is placed on the dash to help keep batteries charged over periods of inactivity.

    These products provide supplemental charging systems that compliment conventional charging systems used by fleets. These solar solutions are a convenient way to help keep batteries at a high state of charge.
