Worksport Ltd. has announced its first major collaboration in the construction industry, supplying its solar-powered tonneau cover and portable energy system to one of the nation’s top 25 construction and energy contractors.

The U.S.-based clean technology company confirmed that the unnamed national construction firm—whose fleet exceeds 1,000 trucks—has purchased initial units of Worksport’s SOLIS solar tonneau cover and COR portable nano-grid energy system for evaluation in a commercial pilot program.

“We believe our COR and SOLIS systems will be an excellent fit for large commercial work fleets,” said Steven Rossi, CEO of Worksport. “We are excited to have a reputed, well-known construction company purchase test units of our COR and SOLIS system to test within their network. We believe this collaboration underscores Worksport’s underlying excitement for the upcoming product line, set for public release in fall 2025.”

Pilot Project Overview

• Phase I – Initial Deployment
  The contractor will test two sets of the SOLIS and COR systems in real-world jobsite conditions. The pilot aims to demonstrate the reliability, environmental performance, and practicality of Worksport’s clean energy technology for construction applications.
• Strategic Collaboration
  Worksport is partnering with the contractor’s innovation division to gather field data and feedback. The firm may also develop media and promotional content around the deployment, helping Worksport communicate its value proposition to a wider audience.
• Future Expansion
  A successful pilot could lead to a broader fleet-wide implementation of Worksport’s nano-grid solution. This would not only boost revenue but further validate the system’s application for both private and public sector infrastructure projects.

Strategic Significance for Worksport

This marks a turning point for Worksport as it moves from product development into enterprise-level applications. The contractor involved serves prominent government agencies, including the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Coast Guard, and the General Services Administration (GSA).

Through this engagement, Worksport expects to collect critical performance data, deepen its industrial ties, and pave the way for long-term supply opportunities across the institutional and defense construction ecosystem.

The announcement comes shortly after Worksport revealed it had secured a second national automotive distributor, signaling accelerating market interest ahead of its official fall 2025 launch.

Why It Matters

As the construction and transportation industries increasingly prioritize decarbonization and off-grid energy solutions, Worksport’s dual solar/portable energy systems could play a key role in jobsite electrification. By tapping into commercial construction fleets, the company positions itself not only as a clean-tech innovator but as a scalable provider for mission-critical infrastructure work.

What’s Next

If the Phase I pilot proves successful, analysts believe Worksport could secure multi-million dollar supply deals tied to federal and military contracts, giving the startup a meaningful foothold in the growing clean energy mobility market.
