For golf cart manufacturers

Golf carts powered by live solar energy

We pair our Golf Cart Battery (48V 100Ah LiFePO4) with a flexible solar panel fitted to the cart roof. The panel powers the cart while you drive and tops up the battery whenever it sits in the sun.

White golf cart with a flexible solar panel on its roof on a tropical golf course

Live solar power. Recharge from the sun. No external charging needed.

Live solar power

The roof panel feeds the motor in real time while the cart drives.

Recharges from the sun

Every minute in daylight tops up the 48V battery, on the course or parked.

No external charging necessary

No charging station, no extension cord and no overnight plug-in.

How the roof solar system works

1. Sun hits the roof panel

A thin flexible panel follows the curve of the canopy and collects sunlight with no bulky frame.

2. MPPT controller

A 48V MPPT charge controller turns the panel output into safe charging for the LiFePO4 pack.

3. Battery stays topped up

Solar power goes to the motor first while driving, and the rest charges the 48V 100Ah battery.

4. More range, less plugging in

Carts recover charge between rounds, at the clubhouse, or parked in the lot.

Flexible solar panel mounted on the roof of a golf cart

A flexible panel sized for the roof

A typical two or four seat cart roof fits a flexible panel of about 300 to 450 W. In Costa Rica sun that is roughly 1.5 to 2 kWh a day in good conditions, which is several extra kilometers of range every day.

Lightweight and low profile, so the cart keeps its look and handling
Bonded to the roof, no drilling into structural parts
Weather sealed for rain, heat and humidity
Wiring and controller sized to the 48V system, ready for OEM integration

Why manufacturers choose solar carts

Lighter and slimmer
Flexible panels add very little weight compared to glass panels.
Protected battery
The BMS guards against over-charge, over-discharge and over-current.
Free energy every day
Fleets and owners spend less on charging and get more uptime.

Panel output and range depend on cart model, roof area, weather, driving style and load. Figures are estimates. We size each system with you.

Case studies

Solar golf carts in real use

Three typical deployments show how roof solar keeps carts charging from the sun alone.

Resort fleet

Beach resort shuttle fleet

Challenge: A resort ran shuttle carts all day and lost hours to overnight charging and cable handling.
Solution: Each cart got a flexible roof panel, an MPPT controller and the 48V 100Ah LiFePO4 battery.
Result: Carts recharge from the sun between guest trips. No charging station or external charging is needed.

Golf club

Course cart fleet

Challenge: A club wanted to cut charging labor and electricity costs across its course fleet.
Solution: Solar roofs were fitted to the fleet so carts collect power during rounds and while parked.
Result: Carts stay topped up from daylight alone, so staff no longer plug in fleets every night.

Manufacturer

OEM factory integration

Challenge: A cart maker wanted a solar option without redesigning its chassis or adding weight.
Solution: We supplied a bonded flexible panel, wiring and controller sized to a 48V system, ready for line fitting.
Result: The solar roof is fitted on the assembly line and buyers get carts that recharge from the sun.

Examples are typical scenarios. Results vary with cart model, roof area, weather and use.
