Solar hybrid technolagy integrated power train for land vehicles - University of York

Most land vehicles will incorporate this solar hybrid technology as an essential part of their battery-electric powertrains

  • Progress with solar-powered and solar-assisted land vehicles is now so clear and compelling
  • Ten times thinner solar cells could enable a rapid expansion of photovoltaics, increase solar electricity production, and greatly reduce our carbon footprint
  • Power greatly improved with versions working well on vehicle sides, from polycrystalline silicon on trucks to run refrigeration to power for services in camper vans
