Funny you ask that ?, spoke to him last nite, he just ordered 10 panels they should be here end of next week.
I'm building a 48volt cart as a testing platform with him, oh fun!
It will be a Club Car with larger wheels and a two seater standard length roof.
The panels he found will work, but the other specs (the controller) or requirements is where the engineering comes into play.
As far as boost we'll know after a month or so I suppose, but hope to see about 50%, or 50-75 miles perhaps, remember the solar is charging all day even though the batteries are being used (depleted).
I was asking these questions to see what folks desired in an elec cart.
It's unfortunate that I have yet to get serious feedback.
If the demand isn't found here than it goes on the back burner I suppose.
