The first solar powered motorhome comes from Holland, studied by a group of researchers from the University of Eindhoven.
If you are looking to go in holiday keeping an eye on the environmenta new Camper has been designed for you. A team of engineers from the University of Eindhovenover time has achieved great results with the Solar Challengean event that seeks to reward i best mobility projectsusing thesolar power. The latest creation likes it and not a little, who likes it travel by Camperand wants to stay attentive to the environment.
The solar powered camper
I researchers they got to build the first one Solar powered camperhis name is Stella Vita. The medium proves more like a Berlin than to a traditional Camper, and also the bottom is very low, compared to normal. With the roof e i two side doors that go upwe will have on our vehicle, three solar panels. His design however it is a lot futuristic, a bit like all electric vehicleswho try to break with the past.
We talked about the three solar panelsbut now let’s take a good look at yours battery pack and everything related to the motor. Stella Vita mount one 60 kWh lithium batteryso quite small, but thanks to all the studies for optimize the means, the Camper there is aautonomy of 600 Km. All this with one recharge, which proves it research effort made by Dutch engineers. As we said the Camper has three panels, one central on the roof, and two others on the sides that rise when the vehicle is stationary. THE three panels they are capable of producing up to 4 Kw in energiaif the day is sunny.
Obviously i panels alone are not enough for recharge the vehiclewhich also needs theenergy of the columns. The vehicle has already been tested, with a voyage and Eindhoven to southern Spainand the Camper traveled with the only energy of the panelsben 2.000 Km. The interior is like the classics Camper, although this given the size, it is designed for sole use two people. The vehicle is equipped with everything from a bed to a small kitchen with a refrigerator.
Stella Vita is still a project
Stella Vita shows us that even holidays can be “green”, and go in camping by this means he is even more in contact with the nature. This Camper is still a prototype, no house is currently planning to build it. It must be said that if the market of the sustainable mobility continues to grow, we will see many Solar powered camper on our streets.
