panasonic unveils solar roof that may appear on the tesla model 3

At a news conference in Japan, Panasonic revealed that its photovoltaic modules hit the solar roof, providing enough power for the car to charge. ion battery.
How it works the types of solar panels available on current vehicles are usually only 12-
Volt battery for key support-on and -
The Off function plus some on-
Car-mounted electronic equipment such as air conditioning or information Entertainment.
However, the hit rate of the Panasonics PV module is 180-
Watt output capability, which will enable it to charge the vehicle
And ion batteries.
This means that the Panasonics solar roof can expand the drive range of the plug
Hybrid or electric vehicles and improve fuel economy where applicable.
Panasonics\'s new solar roof module is compatible with three modules
Size curve processing that matches the body design.
For the upcoming Prius PHV, the PV module has adapted to the hybrid aerodynamic body style.
But Panasonic said in its news statement that it plans to expand the use of its modules, which means that the roof may soon enter other vehicles.
Will Tesla Model 3 be next?
Panasonic is the top supplier of Tesla, producing lithium-
Ion battery packs are provided for its vehicles, PowerWall, and powerpack at Gigafactory 1.
The company is also a Teslas manufacturing partner for solar roof tiles and panels in Buffalo, New York.
The supplier said it wanted to expand its product range, including hardware for self-driving cars.
Tesla CEO Elon Musk suggested on Twitter that the Model 3 might offer an optional solar roof. The three-
The size curve processing will enable it to shape itself into a 3 s smooth and aerodynamic body, and it is possible to provide a way to increase the range without increasing the battery size.
