Solar golf cart
Solar golf carts are golf carts powered by mounting a photovoltaic (PV) or thin film panel on top of the existing roof or using a PV panel as the roof itself. A controller converts the sun’s energy to charge the golf cart’s 36-volt or 48-volt battery bank. Not only does the solar power take the cart off the electric grid, it also increases the driving distance and extends the life of the batteries.
Solar conversion kits have been available for golf carts and Low Speed Vehicles (LSV) for several years. These kits range from low wattage solar battery chargers to a 410-watt array on an 8-passenger transport cart. Buyers can take a solar tax credit of 30% of the purchase price on their US Federal Income Tax.
Solar-powered golf carts are popular with owners who drive long distances, such as maintenance workers, golf course fleets, staff at the Detroit Zoo, transportation vehicles in resorts and cities, and drivers of VIP carts on college campuses. High schools have used them as teaching tools for solar power. For the environmentally-conscious and campers and hunters who are away from electrical power, the solar-powered golf cart reduces or eliminates the need to plug in. Converting a golf cart to solar power creates a true solar electric vehicle.

Although most of these substances are harmless in the short term without cleaning they can build up and cause issues for your panels. Not only will your panels look ugly and diminish the look of your exterior, it can also mean difficulty with the functioning of the panels. Your panels may reduce the energy disposition to your home.
However cleaning your panels shouldn’t be a weekly activity, your cleaning schedule for your panels should be dependent on your intuition and look of the panels. If you live in a rural area and nature is harsh towards your panels then you may need to clean them more regularly than other solar panel owners. If the panels are covered in dirt or muck then you should definitely give them a thorough clean and make note of how long it takes for them to get back into this condition.
