PrAtlas/22617365

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - PrAtlas -- Lyon, France – November 16, 2021 – SOLUTRANS is a biennial trade fair where innovation and information comes together at Lyon Eurexpo for the Heavy Goods Vehicles (HGV) industry. This year, Renault Trucks, a French commercial truck manufacturer, is incorporating world leading stainless steel-based CIGS flexible shatterproof photovoltaic technology from the solar sails of numerous American boats into the roofs of their trucks. Come join us at Booth 4D 104 from November 16-20 at SOLUTRANS!

Renault's PV Roof Wind Deflector comes with a host of benefits:

• 300W electricity generation in an ultra thin package proven to be reliable in extreme weather and road conditions.
• Allows the truck to sustain the growing need for electricity on board: microwaves, tablets, kettles, refrigerators, etc.
• Increases battery life
• Charges the battery even when the vehicle motor is not running
• Can prevent empty battery troubleshooting

The original solar sail technology was developed through a collaboration between France-based SolarCloth and California-based MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp.
