Integrated solar panels on cars mainstream from next decade?

Car manufacturers Kia and Hyundai are planning to install solar panels on the roof of vehicles. The intention is to charge the battery of the car in this way.

In the past, solar panels were already integrated in cars, but this was mainly done to feed peripheral equipment (eg interior cooling). Hyundai and Kia want to store the energy in the car’s battery in order to gain extra mileage and to reduce the CO2 emissions of hybrid vehicles.

30% of recharging

The car manufacturers promise that the system can generate a lot of energy. When the car is in the sun for a full day, the battery could be recharged for more than 30% (depending on the capacity).

In order for the users to enjoy a panoramic glass roof, partially transparent solar panels will also be integrated into cars. The first models with integrated solar panels are expected after 2019.
