Bergstrom Climate Control Systems

Bergstrom Solar Energy Systems


Harness the full potential of the sun with Bergstrom's innovative Solar Energy Systems. Our flexible solar panels conform to any surface and are virtually unbreakable. You'll get more power. Increased durability. More comfortable drivers. And more run time! All adding up to measurable ROI starting from the moment you install.

Better Solar Solutions

With a patented technology, Bergstrom has taken existing solar solutions and made them better. Take driver comfort to the next level by using solar energy to significantly extend the run time of electric HVAC systems such as Bergstrom's NITE no-idle solution. Use excess solar energy to augment charging of the truck batteries, extending use of hotel loads without idling the engine.

Patented Solar Panels

Bergstrom's solar panels are built to UL standards and consist of an innovative pair of metal grids that serve as inter-cell and intra-cell connectors. This patented grid technology and interconnect system not only enables us to extract more power compared to standard solar panels, it dramatically improves the panels reliability and ruggedness. Features include:
  • Versatile shapes to suit any surface size and features.

  • 1/8-inch thick, flexible & lightweight panels.

  • Efficient capture and delivery of clean energy.

How does Bergstrom stack up against the competition?

Bergstrom's Solar Energy System is unlike any system on the market. When you install the solution, you'll quickly realize the benefits of the most powerful and durable solar panel for the transportation industry.
  • 60% more amp-hours delivered to the battery when compared to conventional solar systems.

  • Improved light capture and reduced sheet resistance.

  • Bergstrom's panels with patented technology lasted for more than 900 temperature cycles compared to fewer than 120 cycles on competitive panels.
Powerful and Efficient
  • Substantially increases output over competitive solar systems in real-world conditions.
  • Superior performance under all light conditions, including low sun angle and shade.
  • Delivers maximum possible power throughout the day, all year long.

Cost-effective

  • Quick return on investment. 6- to 18-month payback.
  • A simple "Plug & Play" system results in an easy, low-cost installation.
  • Improves battery lifetime by up to 200%.

Well-designed

  • Solar panels easily integrate with Bergstrom NITE systems and other vehicle battery systems.
  • 24, 48, 60 and 72 cell panel configurations.
