Redfoo's Solarrolla eStar
In 2024 we completed a Solarrolla eStar for Redfoo*! This build was unprecedented, with three, Tesla Model 3 battery packs for a total of 960 Ah and 4,980 watts of custom made LightLeaf carbon fiber solar panels. Solarrolla's "Redfoo" model eStar is a custom solar electric camper van built from a Navistar electric base model vehicle. (See specs below.)
*Redfoo is a singer/songwriter/rapper/DJ formerly of the band LMFAO known for their songs “I’m Sexy and I Know It!” and “Party Rock Anthem”.

"Route del Sol"
In June 2018 we built the first Fully Electric, Solar Powered RV for Joel Gregory Hayes and his project “Route Del Sol”. Joel and his travel partner Keegan drove this vehicle on the Pan American Highway from Alaska to Mexico. The vehicle was charged on renewable energy (primarily harvested from sun via the large solar roof array).
This was an intense project completed in only two months with the whole team working 'round the clock to get it done before the weather turned in Alaska. We added a secondary battery pack so that this vehicle will get up to 200 miles on a charge and equipped it with our solar awning cassette, adding 6 KW of solar panels. The whole build is document on Solarrolla's YouTube channel here. Be sure to subscribe to us so you can stay up to date with our latest projects!
The eStar was first made in 2011 by a collaboration of Navistar International and Modec. These fully electric delivery vehicles were made with the help of a U.S. Department of Energy grant but in 2013 were discontinued as part of a corporate restructuring plan to focus on current profitability.
These vehicles are a great base to build our solar electric Camper Vans being that they are already electric, lightweight and have plenty of room to customize with all the camper comforts.
