Abstract

A solar charging system for electric vehicles that includes high-efficiency solar panels mounted on the outer surface of an electric vehicle is disclosed. The system comprises photovoltaic cells for converting a broad spectrum of sunlight into electrical energy, even in low-light conditions with up to 25% efficiency. The solar panels are linked to the vehicle's charging port via an electrical conduit, and a charging module regulates the energy for charging both the main traction and auxiliary batteries. The system can be designed for easy retrofitting, utilizing an adhesive rear surface for secure attachment. In some embodiments, the solar panels include a hydrophobic coating for water repellence and debris removal, and heating elements that actuate automatically under a temperature of zero degrees centigrade to melt ice and snow.
