Truck-mounted solar is finally shifting from “cool concept” to something you can actually use. Pickup beds are the perfect canvas for solar—they’re flat, wide, and always facing the sky. While we’ve been waiting for automakers to bake this into their trucks, Worksport just beat them to it with the SOLIS, a folding tonneau cover that doubles as a solar array.
The SOLIS sits flush over your bed, quietly soaking up rays while you’re parked or driving. It’s engineered to pump out up to 600 watts on full-size beds (and about 250 watts for smaller rigs like the Rivian R1T). While it’s not meant to charge your truck’s main battery, it shines when paired with Worksport’s COR portable power station. Together, they create a mobile nano-grid that can run your fridge, charge your tools, or keep the campsite lit without the noise of a gas generator.
Built from aircraft-grade aluminum, the cover is as rugged as any standard tonneau and weather-sealed to protect your gear. It’s a set-it-and-forget-it system—no cords to drag out or fuel to carry. The SOLIS starts at $1,999 for mid-size trucks and goes up to $2,499 for the long-bed versions.
