Onboard vehicle systems, such as air conditioning, heating, lighting, passenger information displays, and surveillance, place a constant and significant demand on electrical power. In combustion and hybrid vehicles, this power comes from fuel. The higher the demand, the greater the fuel consumption and the strain on the alternator and batteries. In electric vehicles, these systems draw energy from the traction battery, reducing driving range and requiring more frequent charging.
VERS Solar Roof is a solution that integrates photovoltaic technology directly into the vehicle to ease the load on primary power sources. It supplies energy to onboard systems, supports auxiliary batteries, and helps reduce total operating costs.
