by Mike Adams, the Health Ranger, NaturalNews Editor
A new solar panel kit, which will retail for $2,195, has been manufactured by Solatec LLC to outfit the Toyota Prius and has been proven through road tests to give the vehicle a 10 percent boost in gas mileage.
Solatec LLC's new photovoltaic kit for the 2004-2006 Toyota Prius contains two flexible, conformal rooftop-mounted solar panels that charge the hybrid automobile's auxiliary battery through a proprietary charger/current-limiter system concealed behind interior trim panels.
The self-adhesive panels are 0.6mm thick, avoiding aerodynamic drag.
The kit costs $2,195 -- and will be available nationwide through dealer franchises.
t uses the same technology as the company's aircraft grade adhesive for solar aircraft research, high-efficiency photovoltaic panels that sustain aircraft in flight.
