We live in a time where "the green transition" is on everyone's lips. With the desire to combat global warming, millions worldwide are purchasing solar cells. In recent years, the transport sector has also embraced the idea of integrating solar cells into vehicles, and with good reason. The potential for savings is enormous, from both an environmental and financial perspective. Nevertheless, the choice of technology matters significantly.
Currently, the market is flooded with questionable products, leading many to make the wrong choice by installing crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells on their vehicles. Few are aware that the commonly used c-Si solar cells seen on rooftops and large solar installations worldwide are designed exclusively for stationary use and cannot withstand vibrations. Exposure to vibrations leads to microcracks and hotspots, not only reducing efficiency but also posing a significant fire hazard. Vehicles with c-Si solar cells are not only potential fire hazards but also indirectly support forced labor in China.
The choice of solar cells must be carefully considered within the company, making it a wise and responsible decision for the company, its employees, the planet, and its inhabitants.

The solution is called MIPV (Mobile Integrated Photovoltaic) and consists of CIGS (Copper Indium Gallium Selenide) solar cells specifically designed for vehicles. Solarbus.pro is the world's largest supplier of Mobile Integrated Photovoltaic (MIPV) solutions for buses, offering CIGS solar solutions across countries and time zones. CIGS technology captures all colors of light and is 30-40% more efficient than other technologies with similar placement.
Among the benefits is the robustness of CIGS panels, which are resistant to vibrations due to their thin film material, making them immune to microcracks or hotspots. This not only helps maintain their efficiency but also eliminates potential fire hazards. Furthermore, our solar cells are much less sensitive to shading, ensuring optimal operation even in busy urban environments where shade is often unavoidable. When traditional solar cells are partially shaded, they often stop working entirely, which is not the case with Solarbus solar cells.
The sooner you act, the more you save
We have already conducted extensive tests in sun-deprived countries like the Nordic regions, and the results are impressive. Even with far fewer hours of sunshine than in sunny destinations like Italy, our solar cell solution can generate up to 1000 kWh of solar power per bus annually. The result is a significant saving of 1000 litres of diesel per year and reduces CO2 emissions by an impressive 2.6 tonnes per bus.
