In 2008, Wrightbus also built the Solar Rural on Scania K-series chassis for use on rural routes. Most of the buses are fitted with the same design as the Eclipse and the Pulsar. A common design is that it has a one-piece windscreen covering the destination display with an arched top together with the roof.

Of the 671 produced, Ulsterbus purchased 198 and Trentbarton 64.[1]
