Photovoltaic: about 555 kms per square meter and year

In Central Europe a square meters with 100 watts peak is good for about 100 kWh per year. Enough to bring the Peugeot 106 Electric 555 kms away.

Because of the low reach the typical application will probably be as a second car for short distances. The energy for 10.000 kms per year would be covered with 18 square meters photovoltaic.

The overall efficiency of the Photovoltaic on the street is essentially better with the electric car than with the hydrogen car as for example Opel Zafira. He creates only 141 kms per square meter photovoltaic and year. An electric car in Opel Zafira size should come on the almost three times as much.

6000 kWh per year house roof

This house roof in Pilsting Bavaria, Germany was equipped during the 100.000 roofs program with 6 kW Peak photovoltaic. About 6000 kWh of annual yield. If there a Peugeot 106 Electric consuming 1800 kWh for 10,000 kilometers a year, there is still plentiful 4200 kWh left for the household.
