A solar powered ebike - possible?

I wish to make an ebike powered by solar panels in the wheel. What do you think about this?

It is a nice idea. We are always happy when our customers bring about some innovative ideas.

For the solar panels in the wheel (as suggested by the picture) we come to this calculation:

What solution do you suggest for a small 12V/40AH solar installation?

The solar panel (fig. 1) needs to be the 18V model (not the 36V - 60 cells or 40V - 72 cell model), for example will work fine, providing some up 8 Amp charging current.

The fuses (fig. 2.) should be always connected to protect against short circuit. In t

Using the infra-red camera to analyze solar panels

All customers using solar panels should perform a yearly inspection of the solar installation. With the help of the infra-red camera (thermo-camera), it is quite easy to detect the defective cells or other problems that are reflected as ther
