Solar Coatings in Automotive
Shawn Orton4/27/2014
Introduction
Solar Coatings◦ Plastic Cells◦ Graphene Cells◦ Colloidal Quantum Dots
Renewable Energy◦ Solar Energy Availability is 10,000 times consumption.
◦ As little as 0.1% of land to power planet.
Nanotechnology◦ Basis for Future Possibilities in Energy
Plastic Solar Cells
Infrared Energy Absorbtion
Can Coat any Material◦ Items include but not limited to:
Clothing
Housing
Glass
Automotive Bodies
Among many other items.
Plastic Solar Cells Sprayed on Glass
Colloidal Quantum Dots
Graphene Based Coatings
Harder Than Diamonds
Only One Atom Thick
Color Changing Ability on Demand
Ultra Lightweight
Low Cost Production
Graphite Based
Graphene Compound
Renewable Solar Energy Demand
39% of California Plug In owners have solar panels at home as of February 2012.
Approx. 4,680 of total owners.
Cost about $5.00 per watt.
Solar Utilizing Vehicles
2014 Ford C-Max Energi Concept Car
2010 Toyota Prius
2007 Mitsubishi iMIEV Sport
Tesla SuperCharger Stations
2014 Ford C-Max Energi Concept
This concept utilizes conventional Silicon Solar Cells to slowly charge the onboard battery pack. Inefficiency leads to a full day charge time in order to drive a slim 21 miles on only battery.
2010 Toyota Prius
The 2010 Toyota Priushad an optionfor a solar powered ventilation to cool the cabin.
2007 Mitsubishi iMIEV Sport
This vehicle uses conventional silicon based solar cells on the roof for recharge.
Tesla Supercharger Stations
Solar powered recharge station fuel by solar panels.
