1 Answers
It is not legal to install solar panels on the roof of a car. Roof-mounted solar panels: These are photovoltaic semiconductor thin-film devices that directly generate electricity using sunlight. On September 24, 2009, the Yingli Photovoltaic Application Technology Research Institute in "China Electric Valley" successfully developed the world's first solar panel for car roofs, marking the first commercialized photovoltaic module designed for automotive roofs. This solar panel can serve as a power source for car electrical equipment, reducing the engine's power generation load and fuel consumption, and can also function as a supplementary power source. Advantages of new energy vehicles: Compared to traditional fuel-powered vehicles, new energy vehicle technology effectively reduces emissions, improves fuel efficiency, and lowers operating costs. Additionally, it offers the benefits of smooth operation and low noise. However, new energy technology is still in the exploration and development phase, requiring extremely high standards for existing battery technology, precision mechanical and electronic control technology, and related infrastructure.
