MIPV — Vehicle-Integrated Photovoltaics

MIPV – Mobility Integrated Photovoltaics

Produce your energy everywhere, on the move.

Overview

MIPV (Mobility Integrated Photovoltaics) enables the integration of solar modules on buses, trucks, caravans or light vehicles. It reduces consumption, extends autonomy, limits CO₂ emissions and provides energy independence.

MIPV Advantages for Commercial Vehicles

✔Extended battery life and reduced failures
✔Reduction or elimination of engine idling
✔Plug-and-play photovoltaic modules, easy to integrate
✔Self-cleaning and anti-glare panels
✔CO₂ reduction and maintenance savings (TCO)

Solar System Fuel Consumption Effect

With a looped solar system, battery recharging can reach up to 58% per day in winter and 30% per day in summer, which improves driving consumption and overall autonomy according to usage profile and available surface.
