☀️ Why Solar Makes Sense for Buses and Coaches

Here’s how integrating solar into buses and coaches delivers real operational benefits:

1️⃣ Save Diesel, Energy & CO₂
By reducing alternator load and minimizing engine idling during standstill, solar energy supports the onboard electrical systems – saving fuel and cutting emissions.
🛑 Less idling
🔋 Less fuel burned for electricity
🌍 Lower CO₂ footprint

2️⃣ Improve Driver & Passenger Comfort
Solar can power ventilation systems during breaks, even when the engine is off.
✅ Stay cool without engine noise or vibration
✅ More comfort for drivers during rest periods
✅ A better experience for passengers – especially in hot weather

3️⃣ Prevent Battery Drain & Reduce Downtime
Solar continuously charges the 12V/24V onboard batteries. The result:
🔋 Fewer battery-related breakdowns
🔧 Lower maintenance and repair costs
🚍 Increased vehicle availability

Solar is a smart add-on for any fleet – public transport or travel.
If you’re a bus OEM, body builder, or manage a public or coach fleet, let’s talk about how solar can support your goals.

🚍 Solar on the MAN Lion’s Coach!

If you missed it - our Sono Solar system is installed on the MAN Lion’s eCoach, showcased live at the MAN booth here at Busworld Brussels 2025!

This marks a major milestone in our mission to bring solar technology to the road - not just as a concept, but as a fully integrated, available solution.
✅ The solar integration is now available for purchase
✅ Directly from MAN Truck & Bus
✅ As an optional feature for the MAN Lion’s for diesel and electric coach

This collaboration shows how OEMs and solar technology providers can work hand in hand to deliver real, ready-to-deploy sustainability solutions for fleets and coach operators.
🔋 Save fuel, energy costs and CO2
🌱 Enhance driver and passenger comfort
📈 Boost vehicle uptime

We’re excited to see this solution hit the road - and we invite bus manufacturers, body builders, and fleet operators to come see it live.

Was bringt Solarenergie auf Reisebussen? Ein Praxistest liefert Antworten.

Vor zwei Wochen, haben wir den Scania Reisebus von Michael Pitz mit unserer Solarlösung ausgestattet und ihn gebeten das System auf Herz und Nieren zu testen. Schon auf der ersten einwöchigen Fahrt nach Frankreich konnte die Solarintegration überzeugen. Selbst an regnerischen Tagen reichten die installierten 720Wp aus, dass Herr Pitz den Motor nie im Stand laufen lassen musste - die Batterie blieb voll genug. Ein riesiger Vorteil für den Fahrer und die Passagiere. Keine Lärmbelästigung am Parkplatz und somit noch ein Argument weniger, Reisebusse aus Innenstädten zu verbannen. Und vor allem natürlich gut für den Geldbeutel.
Weiterer Nutzen:

Weniger Diesel & CO₂ durch deutlich weniger Standlauf

Leisere Stopps ohne Lärm- und Abgasbelastung

Mehr Komfort für Fahrer & Passagiere (z. B. Lüftung, USB, Kühlschrank) bei abgestelltem Motor

Der Test ist natürlich gerade erste am Anfang, aber er bestätigt, was wir auch von anderen Installationen kennen. Danke Herr Pitz für die positiven Rückmeldungen und das Testen. Wir werden weiter darüber berichten!

Sie betreiben Reisebusse und möchten nachrüsten? Schreiben Sie an [email protected] oder sprechen Sie direkt mit [email protected] (Product Manager, Solar Integration für Bus‑OEMs).



[English Version]

What can solar energy do on coaches? A real-world test provides answers.

Two weeks ago, we equipped Michael Pitz’s Scania coach with our solar solution and asked him to put it to the test. Already on his very first one-week trip to France, the integration proved itself:

Even on rainy days, the installed 720 Wp was enough so that the engine never had to idle – the battery stayed charged at all times.

That means a huge advantage for drivers and passengers alike: no unnecessary noise at parking lots, less pollution, and of course, money saved.

Additional benefits:

Less diesel & CO₂ thanks to reduced idling

Quieter stops without noise and exhaust emissions

More comfort for drivers and passengers (ventilation, USB, fridge) with the engine switched off

The test is still at an early stage, but the first results confirm what we’ve seen with other installations.

Many thanks to Michael Pitz for the feedback and for putting the system through its paces – we’ll keep you posted on the progress!

☀️ New brand – new logo ☀️
But what does the logo actually stand for?

Our logo is designed to reflect the core of our brand: our innovative solar charge controllers and digital solar products. These are symbolized by the golden-yellow chip at the center of the logo. Encircling this are dark blue solar cells, representing our premium solar modules.
We also wanted to honor our origins. You might notice a similarity to the "old" Sono Motors logo - the "Sono sun" with a circle and a central dot. We've incorporated this connection to our roots through the circular arrangement of solar cells with the chip at its heart.
