More and more roofs have solar panels that generate electricity from the sun. However, this trend is not reflected in vehicles, which are increasingly electrically powered. It would make sense to cover car roofs with solar panels, right? Why the breakthrough doesn’t come.
Electric cars are becoming increasingly popular – because they are more climate-friendly and can make us independent of petrol. An idea that often comes up is the use of solar energy directly on the car – for example via a sunroof. This means that the vehicle can also be charged without a socket – a range of several kilometers per day should be possible. But: Sunroofs are still extremely rare on electric cars. Why is this so and could it change in the future? Krone+ explains the background.
