Fuyao Glass solar automotive glass development

Overview

Fuyao Glass has introduced new photovoltaic technology for automotive glass designed to provide auxiliary power for vehicle electronics.

Initially, the company listed a solar sunroof product capable of generating approximately 150W of power per square meter. This energy is intended to support systems such as ventilation, telematics, and dashcams to reduce overall energy consumption.

Following this, the company detailed a semitransparent version of the technology. This innovation maintains a panoramic view while focusing on powering low-consumption components like GPS, lighting, and onboard cameras. The manufacturer clarified that while the technology improves energy efficiency and reduces the drain on main batteries—particularly for electric vehicles—it is not intended to serve as the primary power source for driving or to replace traditional charging stations.
