6 FAQs about [Solar charging panels for buses]
Can solar power power a bus?
Solar panels already feature in the operation of battery-electric buses where they are used as part of depot ‘farms’ with stationary batteries to generate stored energy for vehicle charging. But for solar power, the zero-emission sector also delivers a similar opportunity to diesel-powered coaches and buses.
Could solar power increase the range of electric buses?
It is also in dialogue with a local authority that is part of a submission to the government’s All Electric Bus Town project. Mr Thomas notes that solar power could contribute to a modest increase in the range of battery-electric buses. As an alternative, it could go directly towards powering onboard auxiliaries.
Which buses have solar panels?
Supplier Trailar has already fitted solar panels to 18 buses with Go South Coast. In addition, a Flixbus-liveried VDL FDD2 double-decker owned by Dutch operator Kupers Touringcars that runs between Dortmund and London is equipped with the technology. Contrary to what might be expected, the UK climate works well for solar panels.
Are solar panels a viable option for the coach and bus market?
Increasing the commercial viability of solar panels in the coach and bus market is key to their wider adoption. Trailar is a member of LowCVP as part of its efforts to raise awareness of the concept. It was represented at October’s Coach Interest Group kick-off meeting and is part of the Bus Working Group.
