Audi has ventured into the electric world with all means, because in addition to electric and hybrid cars, they are also researching other technology related to electricity. Among them are also solar cells, which will be installed in the panoramic windows.
Solar cells, which Audi is developing together with a Chinese company Hanergy, are extremely thin and therefore suitable for installation in panoramic roofs cars. As the technology of solar cells also advances day by day, these are perfected to the extent that they are more efficient and can produce electricity even in worse conditions. Currently, such a roof can help provide energy for devices, such as radio, navigation, air conditioning and the like. Audi's plans for the future go in this direction so that these solar cells are able to produce enough electricity to be able to drove cars. Over time, they want to cover it with solar cells the entire roof surface, not just the surface of the panoramic window. Audi is to present a car with the first such solar roof until the end of this year. Until then, you can see Audi's concept car in the gallery e-tron quattro.
