Help keep your school minibus battery topped up during periods of downtime with discreet solar technology.
Even when your minibus is switched off, onboard electronics, trackers and other systems can continue drawing small amounts of power from the battery.
During term time, regular journeys help recharge it. But when a minibus is parked for several weeks over summer, Christmas or Easter, the battery can gradually lose charge, potentially leaving you with a vehicle that won’t start when you need it.
Jurni Minibus has partnered with Genie Insights and specialist installation partner RS Connect to offer a solar solution designed to help maintain your minibus battery while the vehicle is parked.

A lightweight, flexible solar panel is bonded discreetly to the roof of the minibus and uses available daylight to provide supplementary charge to the vehicle’s 12V battery.
Once installed, there’s nothing for drivers or staff to switch on or remember. The system simply works in the background whenever daylight is available.
Less risk of battery-related downtime. Less need to periodically run vehicles during the holidays. Greater confidence your minibus will be ready when you need it.
Genie Insights uses specialist CIGS solar technology developed specifically for vehicles.
Just 3mm thick when bonded, with a lightweight, glass-free construction designed to follow the contours of the minibus roof.
Generates energy from available daylight and is designed to continue working in cloudy and lower-light UK conditions.
No change in driver behaviour. Once installed, the system works automatically in the background.
Provides supplementary charge to help maintain battery health and reduce battery-related downtime. Genie Insights has already deployed around 15,000 solar panels across commercial vehicles.
Whether you’re choosing your next school minibus or want to add solar to a vehicle you already lease from Jurni, we can help.
Specify solar battery support when arranging your new Jurni Minibus lease and we’ll incorporate the system into your vehicle package.
