The patent
This patent focuses on the development of equipments, along with associated techniques and methodologies,
aimed at converting conventional car into hybrid solar vehicles
(Mild-Solar-Hybrid).
Mild-hybridization will be performed
by installing in-wheel electric motors on the rear wheels (in
case of front wheel drive) and by the integration of photovoltaic
panels on the roof.
The original architecture will be
upgraded with the storage device (battery pack) and an additional
control unit to be faced with the engine management system by
the OBD port, and not interfering with the original engine control
unit.
