The Fine Print

The DartSolar Blade is the world's first solar module compatible with any electric vehicle. Each Blade telescopes three-fold for 500 watts of power. Two Blades fit comfortably on a typical roof rack for 1000 watts of solar — enough for 15 to 20 miles (24 to 34 km) of daily range. On vans, RVs, and pick-up trucks, Blades mount side-to-side so the panels double as a portable awning. Larger vehicles support 1000, 1500, 2000, or 2500 watts with ease — a Tesla Cybertruck's flat roof rack fits 1500 watts.

Aerodynamic by design, the Blade intrudes only 1.5 inches (3.8 cm) into the airstream and has been tested at 100 mph (160 km/h) for a ten-year service life. Every part is replaceable, and all plastic components are open source for 3D printing repair shops. Between its 1/8 inch (3mm) 6061 aluminum frame, fiberglass-backed panels with twice the industry-standard Teflon coating, and airplane-grade polycarbonate shell, the Blade has no planned obsolescence. External cables use XLPE (cross-linked polyethylene) insulation rated from -40°F to +257°F (-40°C to +125°C).

The Blade works anywhere on Earth, regardless of local electrical standards. It connects to any power unit, which converts the Blade's DC output into the AC format your electric vehicle, van, RV, boat, or device requires. Our team will walk you through every step — toward independence, resilience, agency, redundancy, and an EV that doubles as a power house.

 FAQs

  • Yes, DartSolar is compatible with any vehicle. To use it, simply ensure that your vehicle has a roof rack where the DartSolar system can be securely mounted. You will also need a power unit to convert solar power from DC to AC.

  • Solar panels are designed to require minimal maintenance. Regular cleaning and periodic inspections are recommended to ensure optimal performance.

    The polycarbonate shell will need the application of a UV and scratch resistant protective layer once a year.

  • When expanded, the DartSolar has been tested to endure winds up to 25 mph (40 km/h). For environments with wind speeds above 25 mph, we recommend only expanding two-thirds of the solar panels. This setup can sustain winds up to 35 mph (56 km/h).

    In drive mode, the DartSolar is tested at 100 mph (160 km/h), however we don’t advise anyone to drive over 80 mph (129 km/h) with it.

  • Not exactly. We specify an expected daily output of around 5000 watt-hours. Twilight and evening sun rays are not as powerful as noon time sun rays. Expanding the DartSolar all day in most areas will generate 5000 watt-hours.

  • Yes, solar panels generate electricity on cloudy days and during winter. However, the efficiency may be slightly lower in low-light conditions compared to sunny days.

  • To measure the aerodynamic drag loss, we conducted two tests using a 2022 Tesla Model Y Performance along the Pacific Coast Highway at sea level:

    • 1% Drag Loss Test: We drove 10 miles at 30 MPH, simulating city driving at 72°F, with tires inflated to 40 PSI.

    • 2% Drag Loss Test: We repeated the test at 60 MPH to measure drag at higher speeds.

    Both tests provided consistent conditions, helping us assess aerodynamic drag impact.

  • No. Unlike residential solar panels, what you install on your vehicle is free from any length permit process.

  • DartSolar features a high-quality aluminum frame and telescopic tubes. It’s designed for a lifespan of over 10 years, with maintenance options to extend its longevity.

  • Yes. You will need a roof rack and a power unit.

  • Ideally, yes. Each DartSolar Blade weights 45 pounds (20 kg). It takes two people to install each module on a vehicle. It is cumbersome to add and remove the DartSolar Blade on a daily basis.

  • The output of the DartSolar Blade is an XT60 connector. This is a standard connectors for the solar input of most power units and solar chargers.

  • DartSolar uses two panels per moving area. The trunk area uses two solar panels, the frunk area uses two solar panels, and the roof area uses two solar panels.

    The two solar panels in each area are connected in series. Then, each area is connected with each other in parallel.

  • The power unit is typically stored in the rear of the vehicle, either in the trunk or the space designated for a spare tire. Power units are usually compact but may occupy about a quarter of your trunk space depending on the power capacity. Larger units with 120V and 240V outlets and a larger battery may take up more room. Smaller power units designed solely for vehicle charging require less space.

    This design choice ensures the power unit is secure and inaccessible from outside the vehicle, adding protection against theft. Additionally, placing the power unit in the trunk shields it from dust, water, and snow, making for a safer and more durable setup.
