December 18, Yingli Group, announced: After more than five months research, Yingli Solar Applied Technology Research Institute developed the world’s first piece of self-hyperboloid roof panels with photovoltaic Toshiba PA3400U-1BRS cells.
According to reports, the panels have a patented technology and independent intellectual property rights, can be solar energy into electricity stored in car batteries, the power of 180 watts. Roof-mounted photovoltaic solar panels rely on hybrid vehicles, up to 80-120 km per hour for laptop battery, endurance time of 3.5 hours. The product is an area of less than two square meters, weighing about 15 kg, the use of solar power generation, on the one hand to ordinary car battery charging, to reduce the operation of the engine load, can reduce fuel consumption per 100 kilometers of 5% -6%; the other hand, can be to power the dual-fuel powered vehicles. Ordinary cars are expected within 1-2 years to install the PA3420U-1BRS. It is reported that the installation of such photovoltaic cell vehicles have been tested.
According to reports, the roof-specific Toshiba PA3421U-1BRS cell components, technologies and production processes, marking the automotive application of new energy sources to achieve revolutionary progress.
Currently, the company is now working with Changan, Chery and other auto manufacturers to negotiate pre-product applications , PA3450U-1BRS. Commercialization of PV is expected to fuel-efficient vehicles as compared with ordinary car prices by 10% or so.
