Solar Powered Golf Cart

Solar Powered Golf Carts

The green revolution is finally here.

What is more appropriate than golf carts going green.The installation of Solar panels on golf cars can be great statement on the environment for Golf Courses.

Golf Carts have already evolved into the Green Revolution before the green revolution even started. Electric Golf Carts have been around for quite some time so they are already a green transportation vehicle. But they are limited.

You obviously must plug them in .... or do you?

Presenting the newest addition to the Electric Golf Cart!

Solar Peel and Stick Tops

The first adaptation of a Solar Top for Golf Carts was a traditional Glass Top which has many drawbacks. Just thing about it Flying Golf Balls and Glass is not a great combination. Glass Solar Tops are also very heavy. Although the idea was very innovative it was less than practical.

The new Peel and Stick Solar Golf Cart Tops have all of the following features:

*Is easy to apply

* Saves money on electricity

* The payback for investing in a golf cart solar panel roof can be as little as two years

* Uses revolutionary flexible solar panels made with thin film amorphous silicon that are powerful, yet light and flexible

* Allows individuals to save even more money with tax credits for purchasing solar

* For every hour the golf cart solar panel roof is charging in peak sun, the original charge will maintain its distance, with one additional mile added when driving on flat terrain

* Can be used on any passenger size golf cart

* Installs in minutes on existing golf cart tops

* In most cases, can be applied permanently to your existing golf cart top


Your typical electric golf cart has batteries that are charged while it is plugged in but while you are using the electric golf cart the power is in a constant state of being drained and will eventually run out until the next charge. With the addition of a solar panel you can expect to increase the time between charges by 50%. The greatest benefit to the solar golf cart top is that your batteries are in a constant state of charging which extends the range of your golf cart and also increases the life of your batteries. Our Solar Golf Cart tops can be used on Club Car, EzGo and Yamaha golf carts.

Solar Powered Golf Carts have been known to run day after day without ever plugging them in. Due to the fact that the batteries are always maintained at a peak charge it increases the life of the batteries.

As of January 1, 2006, an investment tax credit for utilizing solar went into effect. IRS form 3468 line 2b allows for a 30% tax credit for investing in solar. The solar panel and the batteries are all part of a solar system on the vehicle.
