Worksport Expands SOLIS Solar Tonneau Coverage for Pickup-Based Power Systems

The story

Worksport’s SOLIS is a folding solar array integrated into a hard tonneau-cover format for pickup trucks. The product is relevant to truck-bed living systems because it adds a roof-like power-generation surface without occupying the roof of a camper or requiring a separate ground-deployed panel.

The company says SOLIS is custom-fit to a truck’s make, model and bed length and attaches to existing bed rails without drilling or permanent modifications. It uses an aluminum structure, folding sections and perimeter seals intended to retain the basic cargo-protection function of a hard tonneau cover.

Worksport lists output tiers based on bed size. Its published specifications identify up to 300 watts for shorter beds, up to 380 watts for medium beds and up to 480 watts for 6.5-foot beds under ideal conditions. The company also describes an output of up to 600 watts for an eight-foot bed configuration under laboratory conditions, while noting that actual performance varies with sunlight, environment and installation.

The array uses standard MC4 connectors rather than a proprietary charging interface. Worksport says the system can connect to compatible portable power stations, battery banks or third-party MPPT charge controllers. It can also be paired with the company’s COR portable battery system.

For removable pickup campers and truck-bed modules, the format could provide a supplemental charging surface while leaving the camper roof available for vents, antennas, storage or conventional solar equipment. The cover’s low-profile position may also be useful for bed-based modules that cannot easily accommodate a large fixed roof array, although the final integration depends on the camper’s geometry and wiring plan.

SOLIS is made to order for individual truck and bed combinations. Worksport lists a seven-to-14-day lead time on one of its vehicle-specific product pages, with delivery timing subject to variation. The product page also identifies the system’s compatibility limits, including its voltage and current requirements.

The published specifications describe the product’s intended architecture but do not establish how much usable daily energy a camper would receive in particular weather or travel conditions. Actual output will depend on shading, orientation, bed size, charge-controller efficiency and the connected battery system.
