LG Electronics’ solar car roof module taps into the mobility segment for PV. The ultra-efficient solar cells have been integrated into the curved shape of a glass car roof, with special protection against heavy loads and damage. The solar car roof module has been designed to blend in perfectly with the car roof, ensuring that the cell wiring cannot be seen. The module supplies enough power for an electric vehicle to cover between 1,300 and 1,500 km a year or for fuel savings to be made in a standard vehicle. (mfo)
