Hyundai taps Worksport for Santa Cruz solar tonneau cover:
. The site for that product says modular monocrystalline solar panels with around 22% efficiency are mounted in the tonneau's power rail. That modularity means depleted cells can be swapped for fresh units. The captured energy is fed into a modular power bank of individual 2-kW power units attached to the inner wall of the bed. The last unit is a portablebank that can hold 1.5 kilowatts, fitted with a 1,500-watt AC inverter and four 1,500-watt outlets.
Considering the size of the Santa Cruz, Worksport says the prototype tonneau cover will be able to generate 650 watts of power depending on conditions. Worksport has until October of this year to present its prototype to the Hyundai head office, and both parties"intend to explore the benefit of each other’s products working in tandem, in order to determine the viability of a future partnership.
