Overview
- The prototype integrates photovoltaic panels across the hood, roof and tailgate totaling about 3.8 m² with roughly 480 cells, delivering around 700 W peak and up to 4 kWh per day.
- In ideal sun the system added up to 23 km of range per day, with year‑round averages of about 10.2 km in London, 17.6 km in Barcelona, 18.9 km in New Delhi and 21.2 km in Dubai.
- A two‑hour, 80 km drive in sunny conditions generated roughly 0.5 kWh, equating to about 3 km of additional range.
- Nissan cites a 1,550 km trial and modeling showing a 6,000 km‑per‑year commuter could cut annual charging visits from 23 to eight.
- Developed with Lightyear technology by Nissan teams in Dubai and Barcelona, the solar array is a concept only with no announced plan for near‑term production.
