The present invention relates to an improved, multifunctional truck bed cover system. The truck bed cover system comprises a plurality of solar panels embedded in a primary truck bed cover and an additional two to three panels configured to be deployed over a cab of the truck using an aluminum frame. The primary truck bed cover is configured to be pivotally movable and inclines using a pair of hinged arms, the hinged arms have movable members that laterally move along channels positioned on sidewalls of the truck bed to incline and decline the truck bed cover. The system can recharge the main battery of the truck and can also recharge an optical or auxiliary battery coupled to an inverter for providing electric power to external items connected to a power socket positioned in the truck bed.
