On the road, everything runs on power—whether you’re moving or not. But burning diesel just to keep the basics going? That’s the part no one talks about. We’ve built a better way to keep your world on—without the idle, noise, or wasted fuel costs.
Deecell is a Solar Power Unit (SPU) — a solar-powered battery storage system that provides always-on 120V AC power without running the truck. It captures energy, stores it onboard, and delivers reliable auxiliary power while the vehicle is parked. No fuel. No engine. No idling. No waste.
An APU is still tied to engines and fuel.
A Deecell SPU eliminates both.
Traditional APUs either run a small diesel engine or rely on the truck’s alternator to recharge batteries. In both cases, mechanical systems are still working — burning fuel, adding wear, and increasing maintenance.
A Deecell SPU:
*Has no engine
*Does not rely on the alternator
*Does not add load to the drivetrain
*Produces zero emissions
*Operates silently and without odor
This means less wear, fewer service issues, and lower long-term maintenance — on top of fuel savings from fewer idle hours.
No — and that’s the point.
Deecell provides continuous onboard AC power without starting the truck, allowing fleets to:
*Reduce unnecessary idling
*Reduce fuel consumption
*Reduce engine and alternator wear
*Lower maintenance costs
*Preserve engine hours for driving — not power generation
Fewer idle hours directly translate into real operational savings and longer vehicle life.
Deecell is designed to support the auxiliary and operational electrical loads fleets rely on during parked operation, including:
*Onboard electronics and everyday devices drivers rely on (phones, laptops, small electronics)
*Trailer-mounted systems such as liftgates
*Power needs that traditionally force trucks to idle or rely on the tractor for power
System configurations are sized based on actual fleet usage, not assumptions.
If your trucks idle, Deecell saves you meaningful money. Period.
Savings add up through reduced fuel use, fewer idle hours, lower maintenance, and more reliable auxiliary power. The exact number depends on how your fleet operates — which is why Deecell looks at real usage, not averages.
Deecell is designed to fit within current operational flows and provide zero changes to the driver’s routines. They plug in their electronic components the same way they always do, and Deecell automatically pushes electricity without any switches, bugs or delays.
Many fleets rely on a tractor-to-trailer auxiliary power cable to operate liftgates — and those cables are a frequent point of failure and headache.
Deecell provides a dedicated onboard power source, allowing fleets to:
*Eliminate reliance on tractor-to-trailer power cords
*Reduce electrical faults, corrosion, and downtime
*Charge and operate liftgates without running the truck engine
*Improve reliability across day cab and trailer operations
It removes a known failure point while simplifying power delivery.
No — while sleeper cabs are a major use case, we support all engine-off power needs.
Deecell is well-suited for:
*Sleeper cab fleets looking to eliminate idling during downtime
*Day cab fleets with trailers and liftgates that need reliable auxiliary power
*Mixed fleets seeking a consistent, engine-off power strategy
The system adapts to how the fleet actually operates.
Solar is the primary energy source, and the system stores energy in onboard batteries. Power is delivered from stored energy — day or night — while solar continuously replenishes the system wherever the truck happens to be exposed to sunlight.
Solar consistently charges the system.
Energy is stored
Power is delivered as needed.
Yes.
Deecell qualifies as Idle Reduction Technology (IRT) under federal guidelines.
Because Deecell is permanently installed and designed to reduce or eliminate engine idling, it aligns with the Idle Reduction Technology weight exemption recognized by the FMCSA. This allows fleets to offset the weight of idle-reduction equipment under applicable regulations.
Deecell is a zero-emissions power solution that helps fleets:
*Reduce fuel burn and emissions
*Comply with idle-reduction mandates
*Support corporate sustainability and ESG initiatives
*Future-proof against tightening emissions regulations
All without sacrificing operational reliability.
Deecell is ideal for fleets that:
*Want to significantly reduce idling, and stop having to manage it
*Operate sleeper cabs, day cabs, or mixed fleets
*Use liftgates or auxiliary electrical systems
*Care about fuel costs, maintenance, uptime, and asset longevity
*Recognize that reliable, engine-off power improves driver experience and supports long-term driver retention
