Protect the environment by converting your golf cart of solar power. The solar panel converts sunlight directly to electricity which charges the battery bank.
Thirty percent of the solar top can be used as a Federal tax credit. This immediately saves you $598 off of the purchase price. If you purchased a new battery bank at the same time, it would also be considered part of the solar system and would qualify for a 30% tax credit.
Please see our Solar Golf Cart page where you would qualify for a Federal solar tax credit of $838.
This solar roof panel kit and smart controller manufactured by Helios Solar Systems is the most efficient combination available, producing 30% more power to the golf cart than the closest competitor using photovoltaic panels and three to fours times greater output than companies using thin film technologies. Depending on location, time of year, and driving conditions, the 205 watt will extend your driving time 4-12 miles per day. You may never have to plug in your golf cart! The 205 watt crystalline photovoltaic solar panel becomes the actual top of the golf cart and is connected to the battery bank via cables. It is great for golf carts on long, hilly golf courses, neighborhood electric vehicles in golf cart communities, maintenance workers' vehicles that are driven all day, and transport golf carts.
Show off your solar-powered golf cart. Because the solar panel is the actual golf cart roof, it is readily apparent that this is a solar-powered electric hybrid vehicle.
By using solar power to operate your golf cart, you can eliminate the consumption of approximately 350 lbs of coal PER YEAR for electricity generation and eliminate the emission of 1,100 lbs of CO2 PER YEAR into the atmosphere (based on using the cart to its maximum potential of 5 sun-hours of peak sun).
The golf cart solar panel charging kit is designed by researchers from the University of Florida and is manufactured in the USA. We are committed to "push the envelope of technology and provide cost effective, practical, and sustainable solutions in solar-powered transportation."

Testimonial
"The HSC 130 powered golf cart has not been plugged in since we received it. We are pleased to do business with you. And, here is our second order." Randy Stitt, Woodward Academy, College Park, GA, July, 2010.
"The SG 120 is awesome and works great! I have driven the golf cart almost every day and haven't plugged it in in a month. I'm ordering an inverter so that I can also plug a refrigerator to the golf cart in case of an emergency. The installation was a piece of cake. It was much easier than the light kit that I also installed. The installation instructions are excellent." Dave Scott, Cashmere, Washington, August, 2009.
"The SG 120 is a great product. It went on very easily, and we were out driving the same day." Dave Smith, Vineyard Haven, MA, August, 2009.
"The solar SG 187 and SG 120's are working perfectly. They look very good. The installation instructions were simple and easy to follow. After two weeks of daily use, we have not had to plug them in!" Charlie Mills, East Los Angeles College, May, 2009.
"The solar SG 187 installation on our Par Car went very smoothly. Although we have tested it only a few days, the battery is keeping its charge." Mark Harrah, Georgia Tech University, June, 2009.
"The solar panels appear to be working as promised. The carts seem to remain sufficiently charged for our daily normal use, which is usually light to moderate without the need to plug them in." Patricia Mills Janeway, Communication Director, Detroit Zoological Society, June, 2009. Click here for a picture of one of their fleet of 40 solar equiped golf carts.
