CAPSolar Module – A solar module optimized for low-speed electric vehicles, extending their range and battery life.
Developed in 2020 in Canada, CAPSolar provides a solution to Affordable & clean energy, Sustainable cities & communities, – in line with sustainable development goals for the future.
- The 560W solar module can increase the range of the vehicle by about 25%, which reduces the amount of charging stops.
- Increases the battery life from 1 to 3 years to reduce the amount of batteries that need to be produced, recycled and/or thrown away.
- The solar module allows us to save over 290kg of CO2 emissions per vehicle per year.
- Can save up to 7,200 kg of CO2e during the lifetime of the product.
- The module is predicted to be 96% recyclable and, interestingly enough, 80% of the solar components (solar cells) can be reused.
- The customer can save 9,000$ on battery maintenance and charging costs during the lifetime of the vehicle.
- Offers a 250% higher cost efficiency compared to the closest competitor, which means that more performance is offered at a lower price.
- Payback time is 2 years and 8 months in North America, which is far less than the average payback time of 8 years for residential solar installations in the U.S.
