Solar Power for Fleet Trackers
Power trailer trackers and cab electronics without wiring or constant battery swaps — lower fuel use and fewer roadside failures.
Your fleet needs connected devices on trailers and trucks, but wired installs are slow, batteries die in the yard, and idling just to charge electronics burns fuel. Solar-powered IoT gives you reliable power where the grid and alternator cannot keep up.
The challenge
Trailer power is hard
most trailers have no permanent power source for GPS or sensors
Battery swaps add cost
dead tracker batteries mean blind spots and dispatch phone calls
Idle time adds up
drivers leave engines running to keep electronics charged
Sustainability pressure
customers and regulators expect measurable emissions progress
Who this is for
Fleet managers
running mixed tractor-trailer fleets across Canada
Operations leads
who need trailer visibility without rewiring every asset
Owner-operators
who want cab power and tracking without complex installs
Sustainability-minded carriers
reporting on fuel, idle time, and green initiatives
What you gain
Install without wiring
magnet or screw mounts on trailers and containers
Long runtimes
solar keeps devices charged through seasons and parked periods
Lower operating cost
less idling, fewer emergency battery replacements
One dashboard
location, sensors, and alerts on ValenInsights
Sustainability data
support SDG and emissions reporting with measurable results
Real-world use cases
Unpowered trailers
track location and door status on assets that move between tractors
Remote yards and depots
keep devices online when trailers sit for days without sun on the panel
Cab electrical load
reduce alternator strain and extend battery life on long hauls
Seasonal fleet changes
move solar trackers between trailers as contracts shift
How Valentir helps
Valentir deploys ValenSolar for solar-powered trailer tracking with BLE sensors for temperature, door, and tire data — no trailer wiring required. Devices connect to ValenInsights for maps and alerts.
Getting started
Tell us how many tractors and trailers you run, where assets park overnight, and what you most want to see first — location, temperature, or cab power. We will recommend a practical solar IoT mix and install timeline for your fleet.
