Our Technology

At Genie Insights, our technology is built around a simple principle: delivering reliable, vehicle-ready power solutions that meet the highest standards for commercial fleet applications.

We combine advanced solar and battery technologies to create systems that are designed specifically for the realities of working vehicles – where durability, consistency and seamless integration are critical.

At the core of our solar offering is CIGS (Copper, Indium, Gallium Selenide) technology. Unlike traditional rigid panels, CIGS is engineered for real-world fleet conditions. It performs reliably in low light, cloud cover and partial shading – conditions commonly encountered in day-to-day operations – while remaining lightweight, flexible and unobtrusive.

This ensures solar can be effectively integrated into the vehicle without compromising aerodynamics, payload or operational performance.

Alongside this, our broader approach to vehicle power incorporates battery systems and integrated energy solutions, designed to work in conjunction with solar and other onboard power sources. Together, these technologies support dependable battery maintenance and provide a scalable foundation for managing increasing energy demands across modern fleets.

Every system is developed with a focus on quality, safety and long-term reliability – ensuring it performs not just in ideal conditions, but in the environments fleets operate in every day.

State-of-the-Art CIGS Solar Technology

Genie Insights utilises advanced CIGS (Copper, Indium, Gallium Selenide) technology to capture solar energy in a format suitable for commercial fleets.

Industry-Leading Efficiency

As well as operating at a higher voltage than conventional solar solutions, our unique system works in low light, cloudy days and even in shading from buildings in town centres.

Lightweight, Sleek Design

Custom modules, weighing less than 3kg per square metre and only 3mm thick when bonded, fit seamlessly onto your vehicle’s roof, eliminating drag and preserving payload capacity.

Robust & Flexible

Because our panels are glass and poly-silicon free, they flex with the curvature of a vehicle roof, and are shatterproof, resistant to vibrations, and cannot crack or fracture.

Unique Construction

All our solar products are proudly manufactured in the UK using a proprietary encapsulation process, backed by extensive R&D investment.

No Heat By-Product

Unlike traditional panels, CIGS does not generate heat, eliminating the risk of overheating and potential fire hazards.

Customisable & Off-The-Shelf Options

In addition to standard panels for popular applications, we provide tailored solutions to ensure optimal power output for your fleet’s unique needs.

Suitable For New Equipment Or Retrofitment

Available for fitment to newly commissioned equipment or for retrofit via our extensive nationwide installation network.

Non-Invasive Installation

Our ‘peel and stick’ technology eliminates the need for mechanical fixings or punctures, preventing water ingress and potential vehicle damage.

This isn’t off-the-shelf tech – it’s transport-grade engineering designed for commercial deployment at scale.

Combined with our consultative approach and extensive industry experience, this provides fleet operators with confidence that every Genie Insights solution is designed to deliver reliable performance, minimise operational risk, and support long-term fleet efficiency.

A Complete Solution for Optimal Fleet Performance

Every fleet has different power requirements. That’s why Genie Insights takes a consultative approach to designing solutions that support battery protection, supplementary power and mobile energy requirements across a wide range of commercial vehicle applications.

Our solution design process considers vehicle operation, power demand, battery health, operating environment and available installation space before recommending the most appropriate system. Using real-world data, computerised modelling and proven fleet experience, we create solutions that deliver reliable performance and measurable operational benefits.

Our flexible portfolio supports three core fleet requirements:

Battery Protection

Supporting 12V and 24V battery systems to improve reliability, reduce downtime and help extend battery life.

Supplementary Power

Providing additional energy for fixed on-vehicle equipment and onboard systems without placing unnecessary strain on vehicle batteries.

Integrated Energy Systems

Combining solar, lithium battery storage and intelligent power management to deliver scalable power solutions for more demanding applications.

Supporting these solutions is our extensive range of flexible CIGS solar technology, including:

  • Over 140 panel size variants

  • Power outputs from 40W to 360W

  • Panel lengths up to 5 metres

  • Single, dual and multi-lane configurations

  • New square panel formats for next-generation vehicle platforms

  • Exclusive undermount connector options

This extensive range, combined with our precise modelling methodology, allows us to customise solutions for optimal performance.

In some cases, we look beyond the solar panel and work with key partners to deliver a full system including lithium battery combinations and/or ‘smart’ charge controllers.
