PowerDrive Solar Golf Cart Panels !

New from PowerFilm Solar is a line of solar modules designed to make electric carts more productive. Constructed of the latest in thin film solar technology from PowerFilm these new modules provide a simple and cost effective path to "greener" electric carts.

 

  What will adding solar to your electric cart do for you?

 

  • Put the cart away at night-charged
  • Run all day without plugging in
  • Significantly reduce the costs associated with charging electric vehicles – less time required can equal as much as $1.00 - $2.00 per day for some
  • PowerFilm Solar modules reduce the depth of discharge which can increase the number of charging cycles and extend battery life
  • Possible Tax credit $$ for electric carts utilizing solar power

  • In typical use, a golf cart battery is discharged to twenty percent of capacity (80% discharge). In this usage, batteries will need replacement after 520 charge cycles or 1 3/8 years.
  • Use of a PowerFilm solar panel reduces depth of discharge to no lower than 65%. This extends battery lifetime to 730 charge cycles, a gain of almost 69%.
  • In most cases, through typical cart use, the battery discharge will be in the 30-50%, equaling a gain of more than double in battery life.
  • In one test case, battery discharge depth was limited to 10% of the battery capacity. Battery lifetime for this battery could be extended to up to 5000 charge cycles.
