Electric vehicle: Panoramic roof or Solar roof?

Electric and hybrid vehicles are the future. But even if we get rid of most of the issues related to the conventional combustion motors, we still have to produce the electricity to power the car (or any transport means), somehow.

Integrating semi-transparent solar cells into electric vehicle roofs offers a smart blend of technology, efficiency, and design. By generating energy directly where it is needed, this solution helps extend driving range, reduce dependence on charging infrastructure, and lower overall energy consumption.

Unlike traditional solar panels, transparent solar roofs preserve the sleek aesthetics of panoramic roofs while adding functional value. They can also help power onboard systems such as air conditioning and electronics, improving overall vehicle efficiency. As solar technology advances, transparent solar roofs represent a practical step toward smarter, more sustainable mobility.

Power your electric car with a solar panoramic roof

  • Transportation is polluting

    The transport sector is the largest crude oil consumer in the world. While recovering local production of goods and technology and promoting public transportation can help, these measures alone are not be enough to solve the problem.

  • Crude oil is too precious to burn

    The chemicals contained in crude oil are the primary source of carbon for most life-saving drugs and commonly-used plastics. We need to stop burning it as soon as possible.

  • Electricity production and transportation

    Even after the transition to electric vehicles, we must still produce the required energy to fuel them. The conversion, transportation and storage of the energy produced from power plants to be used for electric transport involves various different challenges. Using renewable energies is a must, and maximizing the efficiency of the whole system is a need.

  • Solution: Solar Panoramic Roof

    The solar cells integrated into panoramic roofs on cars and buses will recharge their batteries while they are under the sun, strongly decreasing the need for external recharging while still allowing natural light to pass through a beautiful panoramic roof.

  • Electric vehicle and solar cells: A perfect match

    Producing electricity on the vehicle itself, via solar cells on its roof, is the most efficient way. No need for conversion or transportation of the power, as it is produced and consumed circularly in the same place.
