Abstract
A sliding roof for a roof opening in a vehicle has a light-transparent cover and solar modules arranged on the cover for energy generation, wherein the solar modules are light-transmissive. At least one auxiliary energy generator is provided on the sliding roof and operates independently of a motor of the vehicle. At least one additional energy storage device is arranged in direct vicinity of the solar modules.
Claims11
A sliding roof for a roof opening in a vehicle, comprising a light-transparent cover (4) and solar modules (6) arranged on the cover (4) for energy generation, wherein the solar modules (6) are light-transmissive, wherein at least one auxiliary energy generator (12) is provided on the sliding roof (1) and operates independently of a motor of the vehicle, and wherein at least one additional energy storage device (8) is arranged in direct vicinity of the solar modules (6);
- wherein the at least one energy generator is a strip-shaped polymer electrolyte fuel cell (12) with at least one correlated hydrogen cartridge arranged on at least one of a support material (7) of the cover (4) and a frame part (6a) of the solar modules (6), wherein the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (12) is connected electrically with the at least one energy storage device (8).
A sliding roof for a roof opening in a vehicle, comprising light-transparent solar modules (6) forming a cover of the sliding roof, wherein at least one auxiliary energy generator, in the form of a strip-shaped polymer electrolyte fuel cell (12) with at least one correlate hydrogen cartridge arranged on a support material (7) of the solar modules (6), wherein the polymer electrolyte fuel cell (12) is connected electrically with the at least one energy storage device (8), the generator is provided and operates independently of a motor of the vehicle, and wherein at least one additional energy storage device (8) is arranged in direct vicinity of the solar modules (6), wherein the solar cells (6) have a light transmissive, moisture-repellent and dirt-repellent protective layer.
