Zero Motorcycles Forum | 2013+ / PV panel on a Zero?
« on: September 15, 2013, 02:05:04 PM »
Hi folks, I've been viewing for awhile and decided to join the forum. I'm very interested in buying a Zero next year...I'm considering the XU or the DS. I have a question though:
Is is possible to install a solar panel on the back of a Zero so when I'm riding the bike is constantly charging simultaneously? I understand that the energy spent riding vs. the energy gained by charging (assuming ideal solar conditions...I'm moving to the USA to a city called "Tucson" in Arizona next year. It looks like ideal riding conditions) might not even out. If I have the right panel and great conditions, perhaps I could get better range with a panel on the back that constantly charged, that would be awesome. Is that possible? To take it a step further...if I have the right panel hooked up that charges when I ride, perhaps I could ride forever and never stop?
Thanks!
