Solar-Powered Refrigeration Trucks Will Cut Pollut...
What about the diesel fuel burned hauling the additional weight of the batteries and panels on those trucks? Is it actually a net win?

Good question. Diesel has a relatively efficient conversion ratio to electricity.

Nevertheless is hauling the extra diesel more economical and environmentally sound than hauling the PV equipment?
