PowerDrive Solar Electric Golf Cart Charger 36 Volt

The PowerDrive solar panel system is designed to make your electric cart more productive. Constructed from the latest thin-film technology, these solar chargers are a simple and cost effective way to make your carts “greener”.

What can adding solar do for your electric cart?

Put the cart up at night-charged.
Run all day without plugging in.
Significantly reduce the costs associated with charging electric vehicles – less time required can equal as much as $1.00 – $2.00 per day for some.
Solar modules reduce the depth of discharge which can increase the number of charging cycles and extend battery life.
Possible Tax credit $$ for electric carts utilizing solar power.

  • In typical use, a golf cart battery is discharged to twenty percent of capacity (80% discharge). In this usage, batteries will need replacement after 520 charge cycles or 1 3/8 years.
  • Use of a PowerFilm solar panel reduces depth of discharge to no lower than 65%. This extends battery lifetime to 730 charge cycles, a gain of almost 69%.
  • In most cases, through typical cart use, the battery discharge will be in the 30-50%, equaling a gain of more than double in battery life.
  • In one test case, battery discharge depth was limited to 10% of the battery capacity. Battery lifetime for this battery could be extended to up to 5000 charge cycles
