And if you drive an electric car then that power could be sent straight to the battery to boost your range with free electricity.

Sunrise solar has introduced its solar sunroof a replacement for regular car sunroofs that includes solar pv cells to produce electricity. These two solar panels will generate electricity harvested from the power of the sun and the energy that these two panels create will be passed through a series of adapter cables to your solar charge controller. Each panel is housed in glass and the roof weighs 66 pounds. The sonata hybrid s electric driving range can be ever so slightly extended by the available solar panel roof which hyundai says can add roughly two miles of range per day provided it is exposed.

Hyundai has released a version of its sonata hybrid that has solar panels to help charge its battery. Two 100 watt solar panels will be mounted to the roof of your van and secured to your vehicle s roof rack. That s more than a conventional steel. The sonata hybrid s solar roof consists of two panels with a total system output of 205 watts.

When it s sat in the sun on a blazing hot day a car s roof might seem like an obvious place for a solar panel to gather energy at no cost.
