We have lowered our prices for the golf cart solar conversion kits. As the prices for solar panels have come down, we are passing on the savings to you!  The HSC 100 watt universal solar panel kit was $1,195, and it is now $1,045.  The HSC 205 watt complete solar roof replacement kit was $1,995 and is now $1,550, a really big reduction of $445.  These are the best prices in the industry for these very powerful solar roof tops!  Now is the time to make the conversion to solar power on your golf cart.  Remember, these golf cart solar panel kits are made in the USA!

Protect the environment by converting your golf cart to solar power. The solar panel converts sunlight directly to electricity which charges the golf cart's 36 or 48 volt 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 golf cart solar system and would qualify for a 30% tax credit.

This golf cart solar roof panel kit and smart controller, manufactured by Helios Solar Chargers, is the most efficient combination available, producing 30% more power to the golf cart than the closest competitor using photovoltaic panels and three to four 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. The rule of thumb is that for every 45 minutes the 205 watt solar golf cart sits out in peak sun, it will go an extra mile. 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 golf 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.

See below for a universal solar panel kit mounted to the existing top of most golf carts generating 100 watts of solar power.

Because the tops are big and bulky, they are shipped truck freight. These trucks do not go into residential areas. Therefore, we request that you provide a business, work, and commercial address.

"I teach the electric vehicle and the solar classes at the College of Marin, Ca.  We bought a 205 watt panel for our golf cart in 2010 to go back and forth between classroom buildings. For two years from March to October we have not plugged the cart in at all. It is great. The new college President loves the solar cart so much that he now wants one of his own. We will be ordering a 270 watt panel for a 4 passenger golf cart." Mark B. Marin Co., CA, April, 2012.

"I am very pleased with the 205 watt solar roof replacement on my E-Z-GO TXT 36 volt golf cart.  We installed it on December 15, 2010 and have not plugged the golf cart in since. It was very easy to install.  It certainly is attracting the attention of my neighbors and friends. We are going to order more." David Stradtman, Brunswick, GA, August, 2011.

"I am sorry it has been so long to get back to you on the performance of my golf cart solar roof (HSC 205 on an E-Z-GO Med/TXT).  We put the solar panel on in late March.  When we put it on my battery health on my cart was about 3/4 full strength.  After playing 18 holes the solar charger continued to work until my battery health was back to 3/4 full strength.  This told me that when you plug in the solar panel it takes a look at the battery strength and maintains that level whether it be 48 volts, 36 volts or 26 volts or any other voltages within its capacity.  I unplugged the solar charger and plugged in my regular 36 volt charger in my personally owned cart stall.  After the charge reached 36 volts my regular charger shut off automatically.  I then plugged the Helios Solar Charger back in so it could see my batteries at full strength.  The solar charger has always returned my batteries to full strength within a reasonable period of time.  I have not used my cart stall to recharge my batteries since in late March.  In fact I have rented out my cart stall and if I live long enough the solar charger will have been no expense at all.  I have piqued a lot of interest here at Seven Lakes but know of no one who has purchased a solar charger yet.  I am sure to mention your company to anyone who talks to me about the solar roof.  I am totally satisfied with the product." Jack Comp, Fort Myers, FL, May, 2011. (See his initial reaction to the installation below.)

An update from Jack Comp, January, 2012.  "Linda, I installed my solar top in March, 2011.  I have not had to use my charger since.  I am very happy with the performance of the solar top."

"The HSC 205 roof arrived yesterday, and somewhere between 30 and 40 minutes later it was mounted and ready to go. An hour later I was at the pro shop in line to tee off.  There were many curious lookers, and I assured the ladies that I spent a lot more on Carol's new carpet than I did on the solar charger. A couple of ladies said they sure hope their husbands didn't see this." Jack Comp, Ft Myers, FL, March, 2011.

"I was very skeptical about solar power just from rumors I had heard. I wanted to put one to real world tests so I could see with my own eyes the way it worked. We received the top (HSC 205) in on a Thursday and were set to install the next day. The cart we used was one of my 2006 E-Z-GO PDS rental carts. The cart was just back from a rental and was completely dead. We had to tow the cart up to our service area. The installation was very quick and easy and inside an hour the cart emerged from service with it's new solar roof. It was near the end of the day so it was just pushed down and out of the shop and parked outside. When we arrived in on Monday I went straight to the cart to check it out. When I sat down inside it and looked up at the built in meter it showed a FULL CHARGE!! How cool was that! Just from sitting outside the dead cart on Friday was now the fully charged cart ready to drive away! In my business if I had 40 rental carts going out on a regular basis this has the potential of HUGE SAVINGS in recharges.

Had the cart in our fleet for a few months now and STILL haven't charged it! It's great to be able just park the cart and forget it until the next rental." Dave Broker, Store Manager, Fairway Golf Cars LLC, Palm Harbor, FL, September, 2010.

"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 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 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.
