Cost Saving Calculator for Refrigerated Trailers

Use this calculator to determine how much you could save over the lifetime of your refrigerated trailer fleet by reducing battery related breakdowns and by prolonging the life of your batteries with Genie Insights’ 50 watt high voltage solar panels installed.

Fleet Information

Please enter the values that are relevant to your fleet below. We have given example values but you can override them.

Fleet Size
How many refrigerated trailers do you have in your fleet?

Trailer Lifespan (Years)
How long do you typically keep your refrigerated trailers for?

Battery Replacement Cycle (Years)
How often do you typically replace your trailers’ fridge batteries? E.g. every 2 years.

Number of Battery Related Breakdowns (Per Month)
On average how many fridge battery related breakdowns do you have across your total fleet per month?

Battery Replacement Cost (£)
How much does it cost to replace a fridge battery? Consider labour & part cost.

Breakdown Cost (£)
What is your average battery related breakdown cost?

Calculations

£0.00

Total Battery Replacement Costs Per Year

This is how much you spend on average on battery replacements per trailer per year.

£0.00

Typical Battery Replacement Costs Per Year

An AGM/GEL lead acid battery should last around 5 years if kept at a constantly charged and healthy state. This is the cost on average per trailer per year based on a battery lifespan of 5 years.

£0.00

Battery Replacement Costs With 5 Year Battery Lifespan

This is the cost of replacement batteries over the total fleet lifespan if they were to last 5 years.

(An AGM/GEL lead acid battery should last around 5 years if kept at a constantly charged and healthy state)

£0.00

Additional Total Battery Costs Over Fleet Lifespan

This is the ADDITIONAL spend on battery replacements over the total fleets’ lifespan based on the ACTUAL battery replacement cycle.

£0.00

Total Fridge Battery Related Breakdown Costs Per Year

This is the cost of fridge battery associated breakdowns per year across the total fleet.

£0.00

Total Fridge Battery Breakdown Costs Over Fleet Lifespan

This is how much you spend on fridge battery associated breakdowns over your fleets’ lifespan.

£0.00

Total Battery Associated Costs over Entire Fleet Lifespan

This is how much your entire fleet is spending on fridge battery associated costs over its lifetime.

Potential Savings

£0.00

Potential Battery Replacement Cost Saving

Even if a Genie Insights high efficiency 50 watt solar panel can only mitigate half of your battery replacements, this is how much you could save.

£0.00

Potential Breakdown Cost Saving

Even if a Genie Insights high efficiency 50 watt solar panel can only mitigate 75% of your battery related breakdowns, this is how much you could save.

£0.00

Total Potential Savings with Solar Panel Over Entire Fleet Lifespan*

This is the potential total saving you could make over the lifetime of the fleet with a Genie Insights high efficiency 50 watt solar panel installed.

Please note: This does not take the investment of purchasing and installing the panels into consideration, but please contact us for a return on investment calculation.

*This doesn’t factor in cost savings associated with reduced fuel consumption and doesn’t consider other indirect costs associated with breakdowns such as late delivery fees or rejected loads.
