"Every car will need the ability to generate electricity by itself in the coming decades. MiaSolé's high efficiency stainless steel-based PV technology is intrinsically shatterproof, solving the degradation problems caused by micro cracks which plague all silicon-based solar panels. This new application is another demonstration of how future vehicles can incorporate solar power to achieve energy independence." - Dr. Jie Zhang, CEO of MiaSolé Hi-Tech Corp.
