Solar-Powered EV Charges While Driving

Hanergy launches full solar power vehicles that can be commercialized

July 3, 2016 (Hanergy)

“…[Four full solar power vehicles were just unveiled by Hanergy. Its ‘Hanergy Solar R’ sports car has 3.5 to 7.5 square meter lightweight, flexible thin-film solar modules allowing it to] use solar energy as its main source of driving force through a series of precise control and managing systems, including a photoelectric conversion system, an energy storage system and an intelligent control system…As Hanergy’s full solar power vehicles acquire power directly from the sun, they do not depend on charging posts and thus have no need to bother with ‘distance per charge’ anymore, making ‘zero charging’ possible during medium and short distance journeys. [With five to six hours of sunlight, the thin-film solar cells on the vehicle are able to generate eight to ten kilowatt-hours of power a day, allowing it to travel about 80 km, equivalent to over 20,000 km annually, which satisfies the need of driving in a city under normal circumstances]…

“Breaking the bottleneck of poor practicality of previous solar-powered vehicles, the four launched by Hanergy are the first full thin-film solar power vehicles that can be commercialized, redefining new energy vehicles…The vehicles feature light weight and maximization of the area covered by thin-film solar cells. Their user-friendly designs enable users to select and manage different travelling and weather modes in a real-time, mobile, networked and smart way. Users can select charging modes in accordance with varied weather conditions through Apps on their mobiles. Moreover, the vehicles are equipped with ultrasonic cleaning technology for maintenance of the solar cells…” click here for more
