Power Up Your Work Ute: Solar Solution for the Modern Tradie

Always-On Power for Your Hilux

Has your work fridge ever run flat during a long day on site? You're not alone. This is a common problem for tradies and mobile workers. And we've got a solution that is ideal under the Australian climate.


Smart Solar Integration

We've taken this Hilux's existing dual battery setup to the next level by adding a Redarc solar panel mounted cleverly to the rear toolbox.


We've wired it directly into the Redarc BCDC solar input circuit, to keep the auxiliary battery charged while the 12-volt portable fridge is running.


The Redarc BCDC charger constantly monitors your auxiliary battery's voltage and is able to regulate the charge rate accordingly.


This means:

  • Your battery gets exactly the charge it needs.
  • Your fridge stays running reliably all day.
  • No more battery anxiety during long work days.
  • Zero maintenance required once installed.


Vehicle solar panels are ideal during those long summer days on site, or when you're parked up at a job for hours. Your fridge keeps running, your auxiliary battery stays topped up, and you never have to think about it. That's the main advantage of solar - it just works, silently doing its job while you do yours.

While we completed this solar panel installation on a work ute, the same principles apply whether you're:

  • Running a mobile workshop.
  • Keeping your lunch fresh on site.
  • Using your Hilux for weekend adventures.
  • Operating power tools off your auxiliary battery.

Why Choose Us?

  • Expertise in auto electrical installations.
  • Use of high-quality components.
  • Live-time warranty on workmanship.
  • Solutions tailored to your driving needs.
