UKSOL Supplies Flexible Solar to Sunswap to Power Refrigeration Units on Articulated Lorries

August 28, 2024 - Sunswap, a leading innovator in sustainable transport solutions, is sorcing UKSOL 370w flexible solar modules to enable energy efficiency of refrigerated transport.

The partnership will see Sunswap utilising UKSOL's 370-watt flexible solar panels to power refrigeration units on articulated lorries across the UK.

These advanced flexible panels will be installed on the roofs of the lorries, harnessing solar energy to run the refrigeration units. This innovative approach not only reduces reliance on traditional fuel sources but also significantly cuts greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a more sustainable supply chain.

This development marks a significant step forward in the application of renewable energy within the logistics industry, setting a new standard for environmentally-friendly practices in refrigerated transport. The integration of solar power is anticipated to reduce operational costs for businesses while supporting the UK's goals for reducing carbon emissions.

UKSOL's Managing Director also commented on the partnership, emphasizing the importance of innovative collaborations in driving the adoption of renewable energy technologies. The deployment of their flexible 370W panels in this context showcases the versatility and potential of solar power beyond traditional installations.

This initiative is expected to roll out across Sunswap's fleet over the coming months, with plans to expand the use of solar-powered refrigeration units to additional markets in the future.
