The invisibly integrated solar cells in the car roof feature high power density.

Shingled cells, integrated in a PV car roof.

Schematic construction of a PV car roof.
It is estimated that from 2028 onward, about one-third of all newly registered vehicles in Germany will be electric vehicles, some of them with hybrid drive units.
Increasing the mileage of electric cars by integrated photovoltaics
- Solar cell integration into vehicle roofs and other vehicle components
- Mileage gain in Germany of app. 3500 km per annum
- Further optimization of solar cell technology for 50% increase in yield
Attractive appearance with coloured coatings
- MorphoColor® for any colours of the spectrum with high colour saturation
- Only 7% relative loss in module cover transmittance
- Underlying solar cells are masked
Efficiently connected solar cells
- Compact integration by matrix shingle interconnection
- No inactive areas between the cells
- Reduced power losses under partial shading conditions
Silicon solar cells in spherically curved modules
- Lamination of the shingled cells e.g. between two curved glass panes
