A NEW STANDARD FOR TRAILER INTELLIGENCE
One single, powerful, unified solar device that combines three smart trailer data elements — location, cargo, and tire health — into one, sleek, powerful solution. SolarNet 8000 is your easy-to-install single source for fleet intelligence.
MEASURABLE INSIGHTS FOR FLEETS
The SolarNet 8000 series transforms trailers into active, connected assets. Designed for fleets that demand reliability and measurable ROI, it provides continuous visibility into trailer location, cargo status, tire health, and operational data. The system reduces complexity, eliminates downtime, and improves overall fleet performance.
SMARTER TOGETHER
Operations
Operations leads and fleet managers get measurable ROI through lower maintenance costs and higher utilization
Drivers
Drivers receive clear, actionable alerts on trailer conditions so they can stay focused on safety and efficiency.
Dispatch
Dispatchers gain reliable location and trailer health data from every trailer to improve load assignments and equipment utilization
Maintenance
Maintenance teams reduce downtime and extend trailer life by identifying tire issues and performance changes
TRANSFORM FLEET PERFORMANCE
Continuous location reporting with a larger solar array and high-capacity battery for months of operation without sunlight. No more “dead trackers.”
Built-in cargo camera automatically detects load status. Improve scheduling accuracy and eliminate empty runs. For advanced analytics, integrate CargoVision for AI-based volumetric analysis.
Tire pressure and temperature monitoring prevents costly failures. Extend tire life, improve fuel efficiency, and keep drivers safe.
The Phillips Connect SolarNet 8000 series is a solar-powered, wireless smart trailer solution that combines three critical trailer technologies: location tracking, cargo visibility, and tire performance monitoring into one unified solution. It simplifies how fleets connect, monitor, and manage their trailers through a single, simple, powerful device that recharges itself and integrates seamlessly with the Phillips Connect ecosystem and Connect1 software platform.
Traditionally, fleets have had to install separate devices for tracking, tire monitoring, and cargo visibility. The SolarNet 8000 series combines all three into one self-powered, easy-to-deploy system. This integration eliminates complexity, reduces installation time, and creates one reliable source of actionable intelligence for the entire fleet.
The SolarNet 8000 series addresses several long-standing challenges for fleets:
• Loss of visibility when trailers sit idle or out of direct sunlight
• The need to manage multiple devices and wiring for different functions
• Delayed detection of tire issues or maintenance problems
• Inefficient use of trailers due to incomplete or outdated load and location data
By solving these issues in one platform, fleets can reduce downtime, improve utilization, and operate more safely and efficiently.
The SolarNet 8000 series unifies three core smart trailer technologies: tracking, cargo imaging, and tire monitoring into one wireless solution. Fleets that once needed multiple devices and subscriptions now have a single, scalable platform that delivers the same intelligence with less installation time, lower maintenance, and greater reliability.
Yes. The system is fully wireless and self-powered through solar panels and an onboard battery. It mounts quickly to the trailer exterior with minimal setup, allowing fleets to bring trailers online in minutes instead of hours.
