Solar roof is a system that uses sunlight
to charge the vehicle’s 12-volt battery
and high-voltage battery to increase
driving distance and prevent battery
discharge.
Solar roof battery charging amount
The solar roof charges the 12-volt battery
and high-voltage battery by generating
electricity with the sunlight. The amount
of electricity produced by the solar roof
varies depending on sunlight intensity
and temperature. Solar roof produces
more electricity when the sunlight is
stronger, and the temperature is lower.

How the solar roof works
Information
śꢀ The solar roof generates more
electricity with stronger sunlight, but
the actual intensity of sunlight may
differ from the intensity a person feels.
śꢀ The solar cells installed in the solar
roof have higher generating efficiency
in lower temperature. Therefore, the
solar cells can produce more electricity
whilst driving due to the wind cooling
the solar cells than when the vehicle is
parked.

[A] : Solar cell
Solar roof operates automatically when it
gets exposed to the sun regardless of the
vehicle’s start-up. If the vehicle turns off
whilst the solar roof is operating, it will
stop and re-operate after 5 minutes.
