Whether Tesla can take solar car out of trouble?

Tesla as a leader in energy vehicles, has been the development of electric vane. The concept of solar cars has long been popular for many years, but the return to a specific practical level of operation, there is no real mass production of solar cars, most still remain in the concept of product form, and September 23, when Tesla announced will launch a new car solar panel in next month, the news quickly swept the entire energy vehicles and PV circle.

Indeed, with the solar PV market is gradually hot, Tesla certainly can not miss this excellent opportunity. Solar power and the perfect combination of electric vehicles, not only can reduce the cost of Tesla, and improve the corporate image. This thing is called kill two bird with one stone,  so let’s see what efforts of Tesla to do this?

First, the solar photovoltaic charging pile

In 2014, Tesla set his sights to solar photovoltaic power generation. As a result, the original Tesla electric cars rely mainly on fossil energy in operation. Therefore, although the Tesla car exhaust emissions are clean, but still have a carbon footprint.

Tesla electric car is the first idea to promote environmental protection, energy saving. In order to do this, the perfect combination of solar photovoltaic and charging pile is essential. Tesla car charging through the roof of the charging station or the surrounding building roof photovoltaic power plant to complete. At present, Tesla has begun to build a global photovoltaic super charging station, through the "PV - energy storage - charging" approach to solar energy conversion from storage, and is expected to Tesla 24-hour non-stop Of the solar charge.

Although the ideal is very full, but the reality is very cruel, solar photovoltaic pile there are still many questions. For example, only relying on the pile roof area of the construction of photovoltaic power plants, the total power generation is far enough to support a car driving 300 km; PV modules with the use of decay will directly affect the photovoltaic power generation. Solar powered portable generator is also a kind of PV power. So this road is still a long way to go.

Second, Tesla acquired Solarcity

August 1, 2016, SolarCity issued a statement that has agreed to accept the Tesla Automobile's $ 2.6 billion acquisition deal, the news led to the two companies fell. In a boast, the Tesla this behavior is for the future development of clean energy laid an important hint. With the installation of home energy storage battery growth, while the United States each year 5 million new homes, these are the focus of new solar energy products market. Tesla doubles the bets on clean energy and wants to drive household electricity to solar power through electric cars. At the same time, it also doubles the betting on autopilot, which will open a new chapter in the automotive industry.

Third, solar panels

September 23, 2016, Tesla CEO Elon Musk (ElonMusck) announced plans to launch next month, a battery and Tesla integrated car charger new solar panels. This is the Tesla acquisition of Solarcity after the first product.

Maske said he wanted to create a "seamless, beautiful and solar-powered roof with batteries, the batteries can include LiFePO4 battery pack, just like a power plant designed for individuals, and then spread to the rest of the world." This behavior not only to better occupy the home solar market, Hoping to better promote the popularity of Tesla electric vehicles and development.

Tesla as the automotive industry innovators, the continuous development of energy vehicles to improve. Will be electric vehicles and solar power combined with the strategic thinking, laid the Tesla in the future of the dominant position of energy vehicles. Good start is a successful general, hope Tesla in the future development of clean energy to achieve better performance.
