Velociti Launches ROI Program for ConAg Solar Fleets

Velociti, a provider of enterprise technology solutions, offers the Instant ROI program for construction fleets and machine operators. Launched through a partnership with Merlin Solar, the program allows customers to apply the return on investment (ROI) from using solar power to pay for the solution while leveraging savings on fuel, extending battery life and reducing overall carbon footprint. Customers will be able to realize the advantages of solar from the day of the first install yet not incur the upfront expense.

As a certified Merlin Solar partner, Velociti provides a turn-key solution, including product, deployment and maintenance for ConAg equipment. For added protection, Velociti’s VeloCare program comes with customizable front-line support, proactive technology health monitoring and field repairs.

“We are excited to partner with Merlin Solar and bring cutting edge solutions to our ConAg customers. Merlin Solar’s unique customized solar panels have been successfully deployed in some of the world’s harshest environments. The technology saves fuel, reduces battery, starter and alternator costs, effectively eliminating jump starts, extending battery life, increasing reliability, and minimizing the effect of parasitic loads,” said Ryan Powell, senior vice president of sales at Velociti.

Merlin Solar's technology is 80 percent lighter than glass systems. The company’s rugged design is durable with 2.5 times higher power density than thin film technology.

Solar power can be used for supplying energy to parts of the vehicle that normally would be powered by the battery, extending the runtime of battery HVAC systems while also reducing the load on the alternator. Switching to solar also minimizes idling time and supports the life of a transportation asset.

“Velociti’s expertise in installation and comprehensive technology solutions combined with truly understanding customer business needs, ensure a smooth deployment and maintenance program to make them a strong partner for our solar solution product line,” said Dr. Venkatesan Murali, founder and CTO at Merlin Solar.
