Conversion Time3 weeks
Conversion Cost3000 Euros for solar Panel, Nimh additional battery and mounting maker.
Other parts are gifts. Thanks' to donators
Additional FeaturesWith solar roof in summer, I hope 2 Kilometers range gain in sunny day.
Solar roof produce auxillary power 12 volts and minimize intensity take on battery traction for DC/DC converter 132 Volts to 12 volts. This original CVS have bad rendement, so i gain the rendement.
Solar Panel also minimize solar impact on the car temperature in summer with double roof top.
Altitude record in europe 2804 meters with this car
Day record: 300 kilometers (186 mi)
5 days record: 1000 kilometers (620 mi)
