The world’s largest automotive glass manufacturer in China (Fuyao Group) has developed an integrated photovoltaic (PV) “solar sunroof” that embeds solar cells in laminated automotive glass.
• Solar cell modules are laminated into the glass interlayer.
• Up to 150 watts per square meter
• Powers auxiliary systems such as continuous cabin ventilation (to reduce heat buildup while parked), vehicle connectivity/telematics, and dashcams or security monitoring.
It reportedly generates about 2-5 kWh of power in strong sun over 8 hours.
