Rhea-AI Summary
Worksport (NASDAQ:WKSP) launched the SOLIS truck-mounted folding solar array specifically compatible with the Rivian R1T, announced December 16, 2025. The SOLIS R1T model delivers about 250 watts of on-board solar capacity, is available to order now, and initial customer shipments are expected by mid-January. SOLIS can be paired with Worksport's portable battery COR, which the company says can be charged in approximately four hours of full sunlight and then power tools, lighting, and electronics.

Recent operational and product news has often been positive, with share reactions split between rallies and pullbacks, indicating inconsistent alignment between fundamentals and price.
Over the last month, Worksport announced multiple commercialization milestones, including a Missouri facility expansion, HD3 tonneau cover dealer sales, and the SOLIS and COR product launches with strong Black Friday e-commerce results over $200,000 in a single day and a record week of $665,000. Price reactions to these positive updates ranged from declines of -4.32% to gains of +6.67%, suggesting that while growth and product traction are evident, the stock’s response to news has been uneven. Today’s Rivian-focused SOLIS launch fits into this commercialization arc.
Regulatory & Risk Context
An effective Form S-3 shelf filed on 2025-11-17 allows Worksport to offer up to $30,000,000 in various securities, including $4,000,000 via an amended at-the-market program. This replaces a prior shelf and provides flexibility to raise capital alongside commercialization of SOLIS and COR and other platforms.
Market Pulse Summary
This announcement extends Worksport’s SOLIS and COR ecosystem to Rivian R1T owners, adding about 250 watts of truck-mounted solar capacity and a roughly 4-hour COR battery charge time in full sunlight. It follows recent launches, facility expansions, and record online sales that indicate rising commercialization momentum. Investors may monitor adoption in EV pickup niches, the pace of additional vehicle integrations, and how upcoming capital needs under the $30,000,000 shelf intersect with growth plans.

SOLIS Truck Mounted Folding Solar Array Now Available to Order for Rivian Owners, Shipping Expected Mid-January
WEST SENECA, NY / ACCESS Newswire / December 16, 2025 / Worksport Ltd. (NASDAQ:WKSP) ("Worksport" or the "Company"), a U.S.-based innovator in advanced manufacturing, clean energy technologies and automotive accessories, serving both consumer and reseller markets, today announced the launch of its SOLIS Truck Mounted Folding Solar Array specifically designed for and compatible with the Rivian R1T electric pickup truck. The new Rivian R1T solar tonneau cover model is available to order now, with initial customer shipments expected by mid-January.
Worksport SOLIS is a truck mounted folding solar array (truck bed cover) with integrated solar panels that turn a pickup truck into a mobile power source. For Rivian R1T owners, the SOLIS cover delivers approximately 250 watts of on-board solar generating capacity, allowing users to generate renewable power while parked, at a job site, or off grid. The SOLIS application required significant R&D efforts by Worksport's design team so the SOLIS could be mounted on truck beds with and without existing factory power retractable tonneau covers. This launch expands Worksport's SOLIS lineup, which is already available for many of the most popular pickup trucks on the road today.
The SOLIS solar tonneau cover can be paired with Worksport COR, the Company's portable battery and mobile power system. COR is a compact, modular energy storage unit designed to store solar energy and deliver clean, silent power when and where it is needed. With SOLIS generating over 250 watts, a single COR battery can be charged in approximately four hours of full sunlight. Once charged, COR can be used to power tools, lighting, electronics, camping equipment, emergency devices, and other everyday energy needs, giving Rivian owners greater flexibility and independence.
"Launching SOLIS for the Rivian R1T is an exciting step for Worksport and for the growing EV pickup market," said Steven Rossi, Chief Executive Officer of Worksport. "We believe Rivian customers are tech forward, outdoor focused, and energy conscious. SOLIS and COR together give them a practical way to generate and store clean power directly from their truck. This is exactly the type of real-world innovation we are building at Worksport."
While the current SOLIS system is not yet integrated to directly charge EV batteries, Worksport intends to work with OEM manufacturers in the future to enable direct vehicle charging as electric pickup trucks continue to gain market adoption. Management believes OEM collaboration represents a meaningful long-term opportunity as consumers increasingly look for energy generating vehicles and integrated power solutions.
The launch of a SOLIS cover model compatible with the Rivian R1T comes as Worksport continues to deliver strong operating momentum. The Company has reported record revenue growth, expanding gross margins, and increasing production efficiency throughout 2025. Management believes the growing demand for SOLIS and COR, combined with Worksport's core tonneau cover business, positions the Company for continued growth as clean energy and EV related accessories move further into the mainstream.
The SOLIS cover for the Rivian R1T is available to order now through Worksport channels. Additional vehicle compatibility and future integrations are expected as Worksport continues to expand its clean energy product ecosystem.
