Solar vehicle wrap ideas: 6 truck and van designs for solar installers

An install takes a day or two on the roof, and the truck sits in the driveway the whole time. Neighbors look up at the panels and then down at your truck. That makes the truck the sign for the next roof on the street.

This guide shows 6 ideas made with our free generator for solar installers. It adds layout rules and what each layout costs at shops that publish prices. To try them with your own name, open the free solar installer pickup wrap tool.

6 solar vehicle wrap ideas

Each image is a free watermarked WrapMockup preview. Every company is fictional. The lettering is drawn from typed text, so the name and phone come out spelled right.

1. Two-tone pickup in sky blue

Two-tone solar installer pickup truck wrap concept for Brightside Solar, a fictional company, sky blue lower half on a white truck

Sky blue and white read as clean energy. Put "solar panels and batteries" under the name so a homeowner knows your job.

2. Swoosh van with a sun-yellow accent

Swoosh style solar company van wrap concept for SunPath Energy, a fictional company, white van with navy and yellow swoosh

A swoosh that rises toward the roof line suggests the sun. Keep the phone large on the back doors.

3. Color block pickup for the install crew

Color block solar installer pickup truck wrap concept for Ridgeline Solar Co, a fictional company, green and yellow bands on a white truck

Green and yellow bands are easy to spot on a crowded street. Repeat the brand on the ladder rack side if you can.

4. Full color service van

Full color solar service van wrap concept for Brightside Solar, a fictional company, navy van with yellow accent

Service and battery calls run on small trips. A full navy van with a yellow phone reads from a block away.

5. Minimal pickup for a small installer

Minimal lettering solar installer pickup truck wrap concept for Clearsky Solar Install, a fictional company, white truck with dark lettering and orange accent

Name, phone, license line, and website on the doors and tailgate. It is the lowest cost layout.

6. Stripe van for panel cleaning

Stripe style solar panel cleaning van wrap concept for SunPath Energy, a fictional company, white van with navy lettering and yellow stripe

Panel cleaning and repair is a second line of work. A van with "cleaning and repair" in large type brings in the calls an install crew passes on.

Layout rules for a solar truck

Name the jobs. Panels, batteries, EV chargers, and repair. Pick the three you want more of.
Show the license line. Many states license solar and electrical work. Check your state rules for what your ads must show. The previews use placeholders.
Skip the savings claims. A number on a truck is hard to back up and hard to change. Put it on your website.
Use the roof line. A van roof is out of sight. Keep the name and phone at eye level.

What each layout costs

Chicago Fleet Wraps lists these pickup prices: a full wrap from $3,200, a partial from $1,500, and lettering from $600 (Chicago Fleet Wraps commercial pricing). The same page starts a regular cab pickup at $3,500. Chicago Fleet Wraps lists more than one pickup start price on its own pages, so ask which one fits your truck.

The ideas above map to these tiers. Idea 5 is lettering, ideas 1, 3, and 6 sit between lettering and a full wrap, and ideas 2 and 4 are full wraps. Read pickup truck wrap cost, cargo van wrap cost, and van lettering cost.

Colors that read from the street

Pick one dark color and one bright accent. Navy, charcoal, or deep green with orange, yellow, or lime reads from across a street.
Put the phone in white on a dark band, or in dark letters on white. Contrast matters more than size.
Test small. Shrink the preview to thumbnail size. If you can read the phone, a driver can.
