Deecell Power Systems has announced a solar power system designed for haulers and sleeper cabs. The new system replaces fossil fuel generators and reduces non-drive-time truck idling.

Engineered for truckers, haulers, and sleeper cabs, Deecell delivers clean, quiet, and reliable power, transforming mobile energy solutions for life on the road, the company said.

Continuous Power for Critical Vehicle Systems 

"Our vision at Deecell Power Systems is to empower truckers, mobile professionals, and transportation companies with clean, dependable energy that not only enhances their quality of life on the road, but is a meaningful cost savings," said Andrew Moeck, founder of Deecell. "We're replacing generators and reducing off-duty idle time where it matters most—from the racetrack to the highway. Deecell delivers clean, quiet power for haulers and sleeper cabs alike."

Deecell was founded to provide a sustainable alternative to noisy, emission-heavy generators and to reduce the costs of wasteful stationary idling.

Deecell is a modern, custom-engineered (SPU) built for those who demand reliable, continuous energy, the company said. 

Whether in a hauler or a semi, the 10-kilowatt and 15-kilowatt systems deliver 120V and 240V AC, 200 amps of unmatched power—enough to keep lights, electronics, tools, A/C, and more running without the hassle of refueling or costly maintenance. The proprietary batteries are designed for maximum power, minimal maintenance, and rugged durability.

Drag-Racing Roots

Drawing inspiration from decades of first-hand challenges at National Hot Rod Association (NHRA) racetracks across the country, Moeck spent more than two years fine-tuning the SPU through internal R&D, live testing on his own race hauler, and in-shop simulations that pushed the system to its limits.

After perfecting the product, Moeck founded Deecell to bring an affordable, clean and dependable alternative to loud temperamental and expensive generators to the market. 

"Deecell started as a solution for racers, but it's no secret that the transportation industry is always looking for ways to increase fuel efficiency; Deecell is that solution," said Moeck, who has been involved with NHRA Championship Drag Racing since the early 90s. "Thanks to the connections created within our NHRA family, that goal is closer than we could have ever imagined."

Designed in North America, Deecell's SPUs are tailored to the customer's exact power needs and space constraints. 

Deecell is currently available in three configurations:

  1. 10kW system ideal for most haulers and moderate power needs. 

  2. 15kW suitable for larger rigs with multiple A/C units or heavier electrical loads. 

  3. A dedicated sleeper cab system designed to deliver 120V AC Power 24/7 without idling—keeping drivers comfortable and connected on the road. 

Key features of Deecell's groundbreaking Solar Power Unit include:

  • Solar-Powered Efficiency: Harnesses renewable energy to provide continuous 120V / 240V AC power without fuel, noise, or maintenance.

  • Versatile Applications: Supports sleeper cabs, race haulers, horse trailers, toy haulers, pit crew work stations, fleet service trucks, mobile command centers and beyond, with reliable, always-on power.

  • Easy Installation: Deecell comes to you, whether you're at the racetrack, fleet yard, or roadside.

  • Money-Saving Solution for Sleeper Cabs: Keeps A/C, heat, lighting, refrigeration, and outlets running without engine idling—cutting fuel waste during rest periods and saving thousands per truck annually.

  • Long-term Operational Cost Savings: Reduces fuel use, cuts maintenance costs, and pays for itself by significantly reducing generator upkeep and idle fuel waste.

From initial inquiry to installation, to full-service support and monitoring to ensure your SPU is always working at its highest efficiency, Deecell offers customer service with a crew available for onsite installation and maintenance needs.
