SOLAR Hybrid TOYOTA Prius

Welcome to Solar Electrical Vehicles. Founded in mid 2005, SEV was created to develop a true solar charging system for Hybrid Electric Vehicles that provides increased electric driving range and improved fuel economy.

Founded by Greg Johanson, with over 20 years of experience in the solar electric vehicle industry, SEV is the sister company to the oldest and largest systems integrator of solar power systems in Southern California, Solar Electrical Systems.

The Solar Electric Vehicle system was designed and engineered as an easy to install (2 to 3 hours) integrated accessory system with a custom molded low profile solar module, supplemental battery pack and a proven charge controlling system.
The SEV system generates energy from sunlight and converts this energy to high voltage which is utilized to charge the supplemental battery and the Hybrid Vehicle (HV) battery pack. This allows the Hybrid Vehicle to operate for extended driving range in the electric mode

With the SEV solar system, the Toyota Prius can operate up to 20 miles per day in electric mode thus improving fuel economy by up to 29% (depending on driving habits and conditions).

    nice ,but the best place for solar panels is on your home. They can always get full sun at the proper angle and make the most energy. You also get big incentives to install them and have a grid tied home.

    A car with solar is cute but never gets good full power. It also takes a lot of room to get the amount you need on a small moving roof. Even solar race cars are tillted up at the morning and end of day to try and get the extra sun at off hours. It’s seldom directly overhead.

    nice car it make me remember the “EV1″ that one dont need any petrol engine ant it can go about 160 mile per charge of about 4 hours but GM and petrol companies killed that car to not make them bankruptcy unfortunately

    What happens at …
    What happens at night when there are no more sunlight? There should be more batteries to store the energy or a backup when batteries are used up like a plug in alternative when your batteries are out of juice.

    It is a great idea, …
    It is a great idea, but only as a small addition to the energy available, I can’t imagine that that size panel can provide more than 70-70 watts of energy in the full sun. Perhaps enough to provide 1/5 -1/4 of a horse power. Now put a large battery pack and a solar roof on your house… that is a different matter.

    It is in our future if we can get rid of our government’s meddling in battery life and coddling the oil interests.

    Looks like you got a nanosolar order delivered? (Total black panel modules is give-away). With 5X increased eff. why not eliminate gas-motor altogether? If Prius is a little big for that, maybe switch to Aptera, or Nisson KanDoo Be-Bop? Look’s like Fuel-Less non-plug Transport is really here now! Great! (PS: YTube “Mag Amp Gen” for test device that is solving Electric bottlenecks). Cheers Mate!

    Did you know that the full Enviroment cost of a prius (including fuel) over its lifetime is greater than a Land Rover Discovery !
    The Enviroment Cost of the Magnesuim in the Battery’s alone would be more than The total cost of a Fiat 500

    Buy a japanese made Prius, not a regional lockout one, stick those on there, and you’ve got 800mpg easy.

    since cars were made ? seriously !
    Anyway i like your product, cause you can’t ask the battery to give you juice that you didn’t give it first!!!!
    It’s ridiculous to think that you can decide to use more of the battery of the Prius !
    Solar panel Prius is great idea !!!

    Well there are …
    Well there are system hacks that can do it and some conversion kits you can buy. The word is the Euro and Japan Prius’s came with a button to switch between the 2 on the fly. The U.S. version was denied that option because government standards required they cover the battery life to last at least 8 years. So by allowing the cars CPU decide when to use, they “guarentee” longer life. Toyota doesn’t encourage tampering with the system but we’ve been modding cars since cars were made.

    i have a question – …
    i have a question – how do you make the prius run on electricity over the gas motor? our prius only gets around 44 to the gallon, but i notice that most of the time it uses the gas motor – always over 35 miles an hour, and even out of our driveway…. so…. how do you get it to USE the electric motor more? I will buy your system if you can explain this to me. Seriously.

    Its got to be about a 500 watt panel on that car so in bright sunlight you will get 500 watts. I could be wrong but if you think about it’s a big space on that roof and a 10 watt panel fits in your hand. People who say it will just power a lightbulb don’t know what they are saying.

    I think it’s about a 500 watt solar panel, so will generate about 500 watts under strong sunlight. It is way way way more than a 24 watt panel.

    It’s been reported in the media a lot lately that corn-based bioethanol is causing food prices to skyrocket because farmers are using fields for biofuel corn instead of FOOD crops. The World Food Bank recently called an emergency meeting to inform U.N. countries that millions will be starving in only a few years if we don’t find a solution to the food crisis. HOWEVER, waste-products from food and used cooking oil can be converted to bioethanol and biodiesel! Hybrid? Sure!

    Based on 45% highway driving, 55% city driving, $3.26 gal 15,000 annual miles and 300K miles. = fuel cost over prius.Then final number compounded 20years@10% .It makes a diffenence.
    Toyota Prius4 cyl, 1.5 L, Automatic ,48cty/45hy $1061/$21,220=$0./$0.

    We drive our prius …
    We drive our prius 10 miles it sits in the sun all day then we drive it 10 miles and maybe an additional 12 round. On a heavy day that is 32 miles for the day and average 20-25miles this would keep us from having to buy petro if you ask me.

    At most, this solar …
    At most, this solar array would tricklecharge a very small part of the car’s battery pack. or provide pre-climate management while the car sits. this solar array would generate at most, about 2 amps @ about.. 12 volts, or all of 24 watts. it would save you next to nothing in fuel economy from altenator use. so.. really its not enough power to do much with, but, if we could slap a solar array on EVERYTHING, it would make a nice difference.
