Benefits
- Pre-commissioned complete solar charging system with matched components and a connecting harness
- Flexibility in the number of solar modules deployed depending on the available surface area
- Control strategy maximizing energy intake
- Interface documentation is also provided to simplify integration
Note
As curved solar panels are always specific to the vehicle, we offer flexible solar panels for prototype applications.
Need help to get the system running in a car? We can do the packaging, integration, and commissioning for you.
