Hi Clifford and List Members A new product called the Sunray Solar Roof Kit, from Cruise Car, will allow most golf carts to become solar powered vehicles. It will soon be available to golf courses, resorts any anyone who owns a golf cart. The solar panels can generate up to 180 watts and supply 3 amps directly to a 36 or 48 volt battery. Overall, this will increase the distance the cart can go on a single charge by 30%.
There are federal tax credits available for installing the solar kit. Cruise Car sells solar-powered small vehicles, including a couple different models of golf carts, in case you'd rather not install the conversion kit yourself.
