German car company and Konarka jointly develop solar sunroof

Recently, the German car company Webasto announced that it has signed an agreement with the US solar battery supplier Konarka. Webasto will use solar organic technology when manufacturing automobile tops.

Webasto has a good reputation in the automotive industry market and has been consistently serving customers for more than 75 years.

Webasto has been involved in the field of solar panel integration for 20 years and has produced its own system that interfaces with automotive sunroofs. However, these panels are not only bulky but also opaque. Webasto's panels can bring power to the car's air conditioning system and have battery charging capabilities.

To achieve low emissions or zero emissions from automobiles, people are increasingly looking at electric vehicles. The issue of energy conservation in the driving of automobiles has become particularly important. The driver of the electric car should pay special attention to energy consumption, because the current charge can only maintain eight hours of driving. Therefore, Webasto hopes to solve this problem through Konarka's PowerPlastic technology.

Kenneth McCauley, Marketing Director of Konarka's Marketing and Commercial Development Department, explains why the company is cooperating with automakers: "Webasto, as a leader in the automotive market, has many customers and we are working with him to apply PowerPlastic technology to roofs, such as auto sunroofs. , moon window or panoramic skylight, etc."

This will give the customer the opportunity to choose a PV roof and match the body color. Spending money on solar sunroof will have a chance to feel the real sun roof. This is the key to the transparency of PowerPlastic technology. PowerPlastic technology is much lighter and lighter than other architectural integration integrations, and this is also an important parameter for maximizing weight reduction when designing an application system.

Webasto’s global vice president said “We have discussed many times with Webasto about the price of organic solar cells. The key task of this cooperation is to increase the conversion rate of solar cells and to be suitable for installation in automobiles.”

This technology is being tested and developed before Webasto commercialized it. (Translation: Denise)
