The three solar panel systems to charge the car that will be launched in 2019

Green vehicles are always at the center of the debate. Even though all companies have set their sights on electric cars, There is a lot of talk about how to get that energy.

When most people turn to conventional charging systems, via plugs Hyundai has announced an alternative that will at least reduce costs.

The Korean house has released plans to introduce Solar charging technology from 2019. It is essentially to use solar panels generating electricity that will be integrated into the roof or hood cars.

Solar charging technology is being developed to strengthen the vehicle's main power source, improve its autonomy and reduce CO2 emissions. The good news is that batteries can be charged not only from environmentally friendly vehicles, including electric and hybrid vehicles, but also from cars with internal combustion engines, which improves fuel efficiency.

In addition, they are under development Three types of solar roof charging systems. The first generation, which will be applied to hybrid models, includes a series-produced silicon solar panel structure mounted on a common roof. This system can charge 30 to 60% of the battery per day, depending on weather conditions.

The second solar roof system is the semi-transparent system that will be applied to internal combustion vehicles for the first time in the world., and offers adjustable panel options that provide a greater sense of space. The panels are mounted on the panoramic roof, while maintaining transparency, while charging the vehicle's battery.

And the third generation is studying ecological models. This includes a structure that installs solar panels in the hood and on the roof in a combined way to maximize the production of energy.

Electricity is produced when the sun's energy touches the panel surface, which converts it using the photons of sunlight, creating electrons in silicon cells that produce solar electricity which is transformed into standard voltage by the controller that is stored in the battery or used to decrease the charges of the AC generator.

These solar cells, as well as regenerative braking, which utilizes several hybrid and electric models, provide an alternative to optimize the charging of the batteries, but for the moment, they should not have the ability to be a single charge source
